Page 23: Quick Start
AIRMOTIV SPEAKERS Quick Start To get the most from your Emotiva Airmotiv speakers, we urge you to read the entire manual. If you just can’t wait to hear how great your Airmotiv speakers sound, this section will cover the basics you need to get started. -
Page 24: Connections
• Emotiva offers very high quality pre-made speaker cables at reasonable prices (you will find them in the Interconnects section of our website at www.emotiva.com) Several of the Airmotiv speakers provide separate speaker terminals for the woofer and midrange/tweeter sections which allow them to be bi-wired or bi-amped. If you plan to bi-amp or bi-wire your Airmotiv speakers, be sure to remove the jumpers between the two sets of speaker terminals on the rear of the speaker before connecting your amplifier(s). -
Page 25: Speaker Placement
AIRMOTIV SPEAKERS Speaker Placement Speaker placement is often a compromise between optimum performance, personal preference, and site requirements. The optimum location for stereo speakers will depend on the speakers and the acoustics of your listening room. Many surround sound standards have specific recommendations about the optimum position for each speaker, and the different surround sound systems recommend slightly different locations. - Page 26 AIRMOTIV SPEAKERS • If possible, try to make the room acoustically symmetrical from side to side; doing so will usually significantly improve imaging. (If you have something reflective, like a large window, on one side, have a large picture or bare wall on the other. If you have a large absorptive couch on one side wall, balance it with a tapestry on the opposite wall.) •...

Page 30: Mounting The Airmotiv A2
