Operation - Emotiva Airmotiv 6 Owner's Manual

Operation

Once you have decided upon a location for your airmotiv powered monitors and
connected them, operation is very simple.
• Plug your airmotiv powered monitors into a grounded electrical outlet of appropriate
voltage. (Verify that your airmotiv powered monitors are set for your local AC line
voltage. You may select either 120 VAC or 230 VAC operation by using the AC Line
Voltage Selector switch on the rear panel.)
• Connect a signal source to either the unbalanced (RCA) or balanced (XLR) input on
the rear panel of each airmotiv.
• Place the Power switch on the rear panel of each airmotiv in the ON position.
• Immerse yourself in the music!
Level Control
With a powered monitor, listening level is usually controlled by the source equipment.
While the airmotiv includes a front-panel Level control, which may be used to adjust
for unusual signal levels from specific signal sources, this control is usually left in the
calibrated (fully clockwise) position.
A simple press will cause the control knob to pop out for easy access, and another
press will return it to the recessed position to help avoid unintentional level changes.
You can turn the Level control with your fingertips when it is in the recessed position
Power and Status Indicator
The ring around the front panel Level control serves as a Power and Status indicator.
In normal operation, a cool blue glow indicates that your airmotiv is powered on and
operating normally.
The ring will flash red to indicate that the automatic protection circuitry is being
engaged to protect the airmotiv from a dangerous overload condition.
(If the ring remains red for extended periods of time, then you are probably
over-driving your airmotiv monitors and should reduce the volume.)
