About the Airmotiv 4
The Emotiva Airmotiv 4 is a two-way, bass-reflex powered bookshelf speaker designed for audiophile music systems, home theaters, and professional studios. It features a proprietary 1" by 1.25" folded-ribbon tweeter that operates by squeezing air with a pleated diaphragm, resulting in lower distortion and clearer high frequencies compared to conventional dome tweeters. The woofer is a 4.5-inch driver with a Curv polypropylene-composite cone, both drivers made exclusively for Emotiva. The speaker houses two 25 watt amplifiers (one per driver) and a hefty power transformer internally, eliminating the need for external power supplies. It offers RCA and XLR inputs, along with bass and treble controls on the rear panel for tonal adjustment. The cabinet is made of cross-braced medium-density fiberboard with a textured matte black finish, measuring approximately 9.5" H x 6.25" W x 7.5" D and weighing about 10.8 lbs. The Airmotiv 4 delivers a frequency response of 58Hz–23kHz (±2dB) and total amplifier power of 50W RMS. It is sold direct from Emotiva with a 30-day return policy and a transferable five-year parts and labor warranty. The speaker is praised for its open, airy soundstage, detailed highs, and surprisingly good bass extension for its size, making it a strong value at its price point.
