Features
The Emotiva X-Ref Series of loudspeakers were designed to deliver premium performance
and superior sound at a reasonable price. All members of the X-Ref Series are voiced to
work perfectly together and share similar features, including:
• Our Exclusive low-resonance 1” silk dome tweeter for crystal clear highs and
perfectly integrated midrange
• Emotiva’s specially designed long throw cone mid/woofers ; with proprietary
blended-pulp cones, die-cast frames, butyl rubber surrounds, flat progressive-rate
spiders, vented, copper-capped pole pieces, and aluminum shorting rings to ensure
smooth low-distortion midrange and extended bass performance
• A sophisticated multi-pole asymmetrical crossover , which ensures a seamless
transition between drivers and flawless performance in the critical midrange area
• Premium parts, including low distortion air core inductors, precision metallized
film capacitors, and oxygen-free copper wire are used throughout for minimum
distortion and coloration - even at high listening levels
• Optimized voicing. All Emotiva X-Ref models have been carefully voiced to not only
sound superb as separate speakers, but to match perfectly and blend seamlessly with
each other in any combination for both stereo and multi-channel configurations. (If you
decide to add one or more subwoofers, the X-Ref DSP Powered Subwoofers have also
been optimized to work flawlessly with the X-Ref Series of loudspeakers.)
• A critically braced MDF enclosure for minimum coloration, so all you hear is the music
(1” MDF on front and rear panels of larger models, full 3/4” everywhere else)
• A furniture grade 6-layer black satin lacquer finish
that fits well with any room decor
and resists fingerprints
• Removable grills for driver protection and great looks
• Emotiva’s usual combination of superlative engineering, high quality parts and
manufacturing, excellent support, and a 5 year transferable warranty, along with our
commitment to deliver great products at reasonable prices
Additional features of specific members of the X-Ref Series include:
• Ported design for extended low-frequency response
• Integral decorative bases , add visual appeal and improve stability. Detachable carpet
spikes are included for us on soft surfaces.
• Nested Array™ driver alignment for enhanced off-axis frequency response and
minimal lobing
• Separate terminals for bi-amping or bi-wiring
