Operation - Emotiva Airmotiv 4s User Manual

Operation

Once you have decided upon a location for your airmotiv™ 4s powered monitors and connected
them, operation is very simple.
Plug your airmotiv 4s powered monitors into a grounded electrical outlet of appropriate
•
voltage.
Verify that the airmotiv 4s monitors you received are set for the correct operating voltage for
•
your location (The AC line voltage that is currently selected is visible in the window on the
AC Line Voltage switch. If necessary, use a pointed object or small screwdriver to move the
switch to the correct setting.)
NOTE: If you change the voltage setting, you will also have to replace the fuse with one of the
correct value. Correct values are: 120 VAC - 1A Time Delay / 230 VAC - 0.5A Time Delay.
• Connect a signal source to either the unbalanced (RCA) or balanced (XLR) input on the rear
panel of each Airmotiv 4s.
Place the Power switch on the rear panel of each airmotiv 4s 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 4s includes a Level Trim (on the rear panel; see page 7), this is normally only
used if necessary to adjust the gain of your monitors to match the requirements of certain source
equipment. (You may require a sound level meter or other measurement equipment to set this
accurately.)
If your source component only offers fixed-level outputs, or if it uses a digital volume control
(which may impact sound quality, especially at lower settings), or if it is simply not conveniently
located, you may wish to consider connecting a passive volume control (like our Control Freak)
between your source equipment and your monitors. (The Control Freak is available in both
balanced and unbalanced versions.)
Power and Status Indicator
A Power indicator (LED) is located in the top of the low-frequency driver frame (in the center of
the front panel). A cool blue glow indicates that your airmotiv 4s is powered on and operating
normally.
