Features

The Emotiva Airmotiv™ Reference Subwoofers were designed from the ground up to deliver the
absolute ultimate in performance and sound quality.
Here are a few of the important features of the Airmotiv Reference Subwoofers:
• High performance - The Airmotiv Reference Subwoofers deliver the lowest musical octaves
with both precision and stunning authority. The RS13 is flat +/- 3 dB from 16 Hz to 240 Hz and
can deliver a full 106 dB SPL of clean bass at 20 Hz at two meters. The RS11 is flat +/- 3 dB from
20 Hz to 240 Hz and can deliver a full 103 dB SPL of clean bass at 20 Hz at two meters.
• Forward firing high performance driver - The Airmotiv Reference Subwoofers feature ultra
high performance forward firing drivers, with non-magnetic cast aluminum frames, 60mm
all aluminum voice coils, and massive double-stacked Strontium Ferrite magnet structures.
These drivers, with their large long fiber treated paper cones, high profile double roll NBR
surrounds, twin aluminum shorting rings, and undercut carbon steel pole pieces, are capable
of incredible linear maximum excursions. Special care was paid to minimizing the mass of
the moving system, enabling the Reference Subwoofers to offer excellent linearity, superb
transient response, and extremely low distortion.
• Powerful Class-D amplifier - Both the RS13 and RS11 feature efficient audiophile quality
Class-D amplifiers (1000 watts RMS / 2000 watts peak in the RS13; 500 watts / 1000 watts
in the RS11)... so your Reference Subwoofer will never run out of power when you need it.
• Convenient top-mounted control panel - All of the operating controls and status indicators
on the Airmotiv Reference Subwoofers are located on the top panel... under a removable,
magnetically attached, smoked plastic cover.
• Flexible DSP-based crossover and EQ controls - The controls and adjustments on the
Reference Subwoofers are implemented by a powerful dual-core 48 bit DSP audio processor
for optimum precision and flexibility. Controls include continually variable adjustments for
Phase, Level, and Crossover Frequency. Separate switches allow you to bypass the internal
crossover, select between two different Bass response profiles, and choose between always-
on and auto-on operation.
• Transparent limiter circuitry - The Airmotiv Reference Subwoofers feature a truly transparent
limiter, which is totally inaudible in normal operation, but makes it virtually impossible to
accidentally overload them, or get them to sound anything less than awesome.
• Plenty of input and output options - The Airmotiv Reference Subwoofers offer both a
balanced monaural audio input and loop output and a pair of stereo unbalanced inputs.
Inputs and outputs are located conveniently out of the way on the rear panel.
• Heavy-duty furniture grade cabinet - The Airmotiv Fererence Subwoofers are housed in a
massive, critically braced, furniture quality HDF cabinet. The cabinet features a full 50mm thick
front baffle, 25mm side walls, and a low noise front firing port. The choice of either furniture-
grade flat black lacquer or a high gloss piano black finish, and an attractive sculpted fabric
grill, held firmly in place by powerful magnets, complete the picture.
• Detachable IEC power cable and user-accessible AC fuse - The rear panel of the Airmotiv
Reference Subwoofers includes the main AC Power switch, a receptacle for the heavy duty IEC
power cable, and the access panel for the user-replaceable main AC power fuse. A high quality
heavy duty IEC power cable is included with each Reference Subwoofer.
• Full five year warranty - A full five year warranty ensures that you'll enjoy your Airmotiv
Reference Subwoofer for many years to come.
