Features

Each Emotiva airmotiv™ 4s is a fully self-contained bi-amplified powered studio monitor.
The airmotiv 4s is a two-way design that features quality construction and engineering
throughout and incorporates discrete power amplifiers, precision active crossovers, effective yet
unobtrusive overload protection, and a wide array of professional features.
Some of the more important features of the Emotiva airmotiv 4s include:
Accuracy and consistency. The gain and frequency balance of each airmotiv 4s is factory
•
calibrated to be within 1 dB of our reference standard.
Emotiva's exclusive airmotiv™ high-frequency transducer, which delivers flat frequency
•
response, low distortion, virtually nonexistent signal compression, smooth off-axis response,
superb transparency, and uncanny imaging.
Emotiva's airmotiv™ low-frequency transducer which, with its advanced Curv® cone material
•
and synthetic butyl rubber surround, delivers clean accurate bass and is immune to moisture.
• Perfectly balanced sound. Together, both transducers deliver balanced full-range sound at
moderate listening levels.
• High-frequency and low-frequency trim controls for accurate response in any location.
• An advanced cabinet made from 18 mm MDF, with computer optimized bracing, and a 3
mm layer of acoustic panel damping material to suppress vibration. The computer-designed
cabinet contour, borrowed from our Stealth™ monitors, minimizes the acoustic signature
and reduces room interactions, and a soft rubber bottom pad protects the airmotiv 4s and
whatever it is resting on, and ensures secure slip-free positioning on any surface or stand.
• A tough exterior. The front baffle sports our attractive black lacquer finish, while the sides
and back are covered with a durable heavy-duty textured vinyl laminate that resists scuffs,
water, and fingerprints.
Plenty of clean power. The airmotiv 4s is fully bi-amplified. The high-frequency transducer
•
is powered by a 25 watt RMS amplifier, while the low-frequency transducer sports its own 25
watt RMS amplifier; both of which are fed by a precision multi-pole active crossover.
• Effective yet unobtrusive protection, which individually protects each amplifier and
transducer and prevents dangerous overdrive conditions, but doesn't limit normal music
peaks, or produce artifacts under normal listening conditions.
• Maximum application flexibility, with both unbalanced (RCA) and balanced (XLR) inputs,
and both high frequency and low frequency equalization adjustments.
• High quality construction throughout, including all double-sided FR4 circuit boards, all
precision resistors and precision film capacitors in the signal path, extensive use of surface
mount technology, and an efficient low noise toroidal power transformer.
Full magnetic shielding. The airmotiv low-frequency transducer features full-coverage
•
traditional magnetic shielding while the airmotiv high-frequency transducer is inherently
shielded by its advanced design.
