Quick Start - Emotiva airmotiv + User Manual

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.
• Find secure locations for your Airmotiv loudspeakers.
• (The Airmotiv towers include both carpet spikes and rubber feet. Carpet spikes are
recommended for use with carpeted floors, but may damage hardwood or tiled floors.)
• The Airmotiv A1 may be mounted on a wall, and used as a surround or height speaker, or
placed on top of one of your main speakers and used as a ceiling bounce height speaker.
For use as a direct radiating surround speaker, we suggest using the flat grill, and the small
keyway mounting bracket, and setting the tweeter level switch fo flat. For use as a ceiling
bounce height speaker, we suggest using the contoured directivity control grill, the rubber
feet, and setting the tweeter level switch to +3 dB.
• The Airmotiv A2+ may be mounted to a wall or ceiling. See the section entitled Mounting the
Airmotiv A2+ for mounting instructions and cautions.
• The Airmotiv E2+ is a configurable bipole/dipole surround sound speaker, and includes
two switches which can be used to configure it for various modes of operation. Be sure to
configure your Airmotiv E2+ speakers the same, or as a symmetrical pair, for proper imaging.
The E2+ includes a metal mounting bracket, which is attached to the wall; four mounting
screws on the rear panel of the E2+ then attach to the mounting plate by way of secure
keyways.
• The Airmotiv B1+, Airmotiv B2+, Airmotiv C1+, Airmotiv C2+, and Airmotiv C3+ should be
positioned on an appropriate table, shelf, or speaker stand.
WARNING: The Airmotiv C3+ is both heavy and wide. If you are placing the C3+ on a stand
or other surface that is too narrow to fully support its entire width make sure that whatever
you choose is both strong enough to support the weight of the C3+ and stable enough to
avoid the risk of tipping to either side.
• Connect your Airmotiv speakers to your power amp or receiver using good quality speaker
cables.
• Find some music you really like to listen to.
• Enjoy!
While you're enjoying your Airmotiv speakers, it would be a great time to read the rest of the
manual to learn more about them.
