AIRMOTIV SUBWOOFERS

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a new Emotiva Airmotiv™ Subwoofer.
Emotiva Airmotiv™ Subwoofers were designed to reproduce the lowest frequencies in the audio
spectrum accurately and with exceptionally low distortion - even at the high listening levels in
modern movies. This means that our Airmotiv Subwoofers can deliver all the dynamics and raw
power you need to make a modern movie sound track rattle the walls, but still offer 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.
Our Airmotiv Subwoofers come in three models: the S10, the S12, and the S15. Each model
includes a downward firing heavy duty high excursion powered bass driver, and a front mounted
performance matched high excursion passive radiator, and each model is powered by a powerful
audiophile quality Class A/B amplifier. The various models offer identical controls and features; the
main difference is that the larger models have more power and can produce higher output levels,
and their frequency response extends slightly lower.
The cabinets, which are quite compact for the performance they deliver, combine massive, heavily
braced construction, and an attractive design aesthetic that blends well with most decor. The
attractive faceted front panels feature an elegant black lacquer finish, and the sides and rear panels
are covered in attractive yet practical textured vinyl. Sculpted cloth grills perfectly match the outline
of the cabinet bevels, and heavy duty integral feet provide support and minimize vibration. All
controls and connections are conveniently located on the rear panel, which also includes the high-
efficiency heat sinks that provide cooling for the internal amplifiers.
We're very proud of our new Airmotiv Subwoofers, and we hope you'll enjoy listening to them as
much as we enjoyed designing and manufacturing them.
Happy listening!
The Emotiva Team
