AIRMOTIV SUBWOOFERS

 Features

Our Emotiva Airmotiv™ Subwoofers were designed to offer truly exceptional performance and 

superb sound quality - with both music and movies. Their design and performance features 

were carefully chosen to appeal to both home theater buffs and audiophiles, with a choice of 

input options and operating modes well suited to a wide variety of applications, and the controls 

needed to perfectly match them to any system or room.
The following are a few of the feature highlights of our Airmotiv Subwoofers:

• 

High performance, compact size, and great sound

 - All of our Airmotiv Subwoofers offer 

superb sound quality, low distortion, and high output - in a relatively compact form factor. 

They’re also available in three different models - 10”, 12”, and 15” - so you can choose the 

perfect combination of maximum output, low frequency extension, and cabinet size. 

• 

Powerful audiophile quality Class A/B amplifiers

 - powered by oversized toroidal power 

transformers, provide our Airmotiv subs with plenty of power to fully energize your room with 

clean low distortion bass.

• 

Flexible input and control options - 

including both balanced and unbalanced inputs, and a 

LF Boost control, which allows you to customize bass response in the lowest octave. 

• 

Advanced multi-stage limiter - 

protects our Airmotiv subwoofers from being overdriven, 

and keeps distortion from intruding on your listening experience.

• 

Downward firing active driver and forward firing passive radiator - 

evenly load the room 

with deep powerful omnidirectional bass with no port noise or other distractions.

• 

Non-pressed treated paper cones on both drivers 

- reinforced with aramid fibers for 

excellent rigidity and optimal internal acoustic damping.

• 

Rugged construction - 

Cast aluminum baskets, tough SBR rubber surrounds, and large 

internal clearances on both drivers ensure years of trouble free service.

• 

Powerful heavy duty motor assembly - 

includes a large diameter double stacked ferrite 

magnet, and a large diameter heavy duty solid copper voice coil on an aluminum former, for 

superior power handling and low distortion.

• 

Plenty of cooling for long life - 

Forced air cooling, a vented pole piece, and vents located 

under the spider, ensure that our drivers remain cool, even with extended use under 

demanding operating conditions.

• 

Tough yet attractive exterior

 - Several coats of satin-finish lacquer give the front panel of our 

Airmotiv subwoofers an elegant understated appearance, while a tough yet attractive vinyl 

covering protects the sides and rear from damage and fingerprints.

• 

Removable sculpted fabric grilles

 - protect the front mounted passive radiator and keep 

your technology under wraps, but can be easily removed for cleaning - or to show off your 

Airmotiv sub to your audiophile friends.

• 

Heavily braced acoustically inert MDF cabinet

 - ensures that the only sound you’ll hear 

from our Airmotiv subs is pure clean bass., and integral non-slip rubber feet ensure that your 

Airmotiv sub will stay exactly where you want it.

• 

Full five year warranty

 - ensures that you’ll enjoy your Airmotiv subs for years to come.
