AIRMOTIV SPEAKERS 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.
• Emotiva offers very high quality pre-made speaker cables at reasonable prices (you will find them in the Interconnects section of our website at www.emotiva.com) Several of the Airmotiv speakers provide separate speaker terminals for the woofer and midrange/tweeter sections which allow them to be bi-wired or bi-amped. If you plan to bi-amp or bi-wire your Airmotiv speakers, be sure to remove the jumpers between the two sets of speaker terminals on the rear of the speaker before connecting your amplifier(s).
AIRMOTIV SPEAKERS Speaker Placement Speaker placement is often a compromise between optimum performance, personal preference, and site requirements. The optimum location for stereo speakers will depend on the speakers and the acoustics of your listening room. Many surround sound standards have specific recommendations about the optimum position for each speaker, and the different surround sound systems recommend slightly different locations.

AIRMOTIV SPEAKERS • If possible, try to make the room acoustically symmetrical from side to side; doing so will usually significantly improve imaging. (If you have something reflective, like a large window, on one side, have a large picture or bare wall on the other. If you have a large absorptive couch on one side wall, balance it with a tapestry on the opposite wall.) •...
AIRMOTIV SPEAKERS Mounting the Airmotiv E2+ Airmotiv E2+ surround speakers are each supplied with a custom heavy duty steel mounting bracket. Affixed to the rear panel of each Airmotiv E2+ are four mounting screws with raised head-studs, each surrounded on the rear surface of the speaker by a rubber pad. The mounting bracket should be secured to your wall using the appropriate mounting hardware for your wall construction.
AIRMOTIV SPEAKERS Switch Settings on the Airmotiv E2+ The Airmotiv E2+ surround sound speaker is extremely flexible. Each of the tweeters on the Airmotiv E2+ may be individually configured to be in-phase or out-of-phase with the midrange/woofer using the two small switches on the rear of the speaker. These switches ONLY affect the phase of the tweeters.
AIRMOTIV SPEAKERS Mounting the Airmotiv A1 AirSpace™ The Airmotiv A1 AirSpace™ speaker can be used in two different configurations, and can be used as a surround or height speaker, with either a standard surround sound system or one of the new immersive surround sound formats.
AIRMOTIV SPEAKERS Care and Maintenance Periodic Maintenance Your Airmotiv loudspeakers require no periodic maintenance or calibration.
