Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the new Emotiva Airmotiv™ S8 Flex Subwoofer.
Emotiva Airmotiv™ Subwoofers are designed to reproduce the lowest frequencies in the audio
spectrum accurately and with exceptionally low distortion - even at the high listening levels found in
modern movies. All of our Airmotiv Subwoofers deliver the dynamics and raw power you need to make
a modern movie sound track rattle the walls... with the precision and superb musicality you need to
get the most from well recorded music. With our Airmotiv Subwoofers, you don't have to compromise;
you really can have it all.
The Airmotiv S8 Flex Subwoofer was specifically designed from the ground up to fulfill a wide variety
of needs. The heavy duty long throw downward firing 8 inch powered driver, 8 inch passive radiator,
and efficient 200 watt Class-D amplifier, deliver more than enough low bass to fill a room, and its small
footprint enables the Flex Sub to easily fit in a wide variety of locations. If you have a large room, or
like your bass a little more extreme, the Flex Sub's small size and affordable price tag will simplify your
decision to use two or three Flex Subs, positioned at strategic locations in your room.
As you might expect, the Airmotiv S8 Flex Sub has the standard complement of Level, Crossover
Frequency, and Phase adjustments, and includes both manual and automatic turn-on options.
However, where the Airmotiv S8 really earns the title of Flex Subwoofer is with its flexible connection
options, which enable you to integrate the Flex Sub into virtually any home theater or stereo music
system. Use the LFE input to connect the Flex Sub directly to the subwoofer output on any home
theater AVR or preamp/processor that has its own bass management. Or, if your source has a line level
subwoofer output, but doesn't have internal bass management, simply use the controls on the Flex
Sub to adjust it to work perfectly with the rest of your system. If the only outputs you have on your
AVR or amp are speaker outputs, you can connect them to the High Level Inputs on the Flex Sub, and
use the controls on the Flex Sub to configure a perfect match to the rest of your system. And, if you've
got a preamp or DAC that has line level outputs, but no bass management, you can connect it to the
line level inputs on the Flex Sub, connect the line level outputs on the Flex Sub to your power amp,
then use the full 2.1 channel active bass management that's built into the Flex Sub.
And, of course, we've made sure that the Airmotiv S8 Flex Sub looks good, with or without its
removable sculpted grill, and sounds great with both music and movies.
Happy listening!
