Care and Maintenance

Periodic Maintenance
Your Airmotiv Reference Subwoofer requires no periodic maintenance or calibration.
Cleaning the Cabinet and Baffle
• The cabinet of your Reference Subwoofer should normally be cleaned with a rag dampened
with plain water. DO NOT spray water directly onto or into the speaker and DO NOT use
abrasive or chemical cleaners. Gently dry the surface with a clean soft rag after cleaning.
• If necessary, use a mild detergent, wipe the surface with a rag dampened with plain water
afterwards to rinse it, and then gently dry the surface with a clean soft rag.
• If something nasty does get on the sides or top of your Reference Subwoofer, use a rag
dampened with a weak solution of dish detergent or other mild cleaning liquid, followed by a
rag dampened with plain water, and then dry with a clean rag.
Cleaning the Grill Cloth
• If necessary, the grill cloth may be carefully vacuumed to remove dust or hair.
• Animal hair may be removed by using a "tape" type lint remover or soft brush. Avoid using
brushes with stiff bristles that may pull or damage the grill cloth.
Note: DO NOT use any sort of liquid or wet cloth on the woofer cone, grill, or control panel.
Replacing The Main AC Line Fuse
The main AC power fuse on the Airmotiv Reference Subwoofer is accessed from the rear panel. In
the unlikely even that you need to replace the fuse, here's how:
• Turn off your Reference Subwoofer
• Disconnect the IEC power cable from its receptacle on the rear panel.
• The fuse is located in a small drawer which is part of the IEC power cable receptacle.
(Refer to the picture on Page 12.)
• Once the cable is removed, reach across the cable receptacle opening with a small knife or
screwdriver, and pry gently outwards on the small plate with the fuse symbol on it. The fuse
holder will slide out like a drawer, allowing you to access and replace the fuse.
• Replace the fuse with a new one of the same size and rating.
• Carefully replace the fuse holder, making sure to orient it in the correct direction, and snap it
firmly back into place.
• Replace the IEC power cable.
Note: If the fuse in your Reference Subwoofer blows repeatedly without apparent reason, then
you might have an electrical fault in your sub, and you should call Emotiva Technical Support
for assistance.
