Discover the XC3

The new Airmotiv X loudspeakers share the same heritage of design sophistication, manufacturing quality, and the ability to deliver a truly awesome listening experience.

Here are a few of the more important and interesting features of the Airmotiv XC3→

Solid Build Quality

The XC3's design focuses on sound integrity, thanks to its heavily braced, acoustically inert HDF cabinet. It boasts a satin finish lacquer on the front panel and contoured trim rings around each driver for reduced diffraction. The sides and rear are covered in a robust textured vinyl for durability and style.

Elegant Design Features

Enhancing its aesthetic appeal, the XC3 includes a removable, magnetically attached grill with fine detailing. The solid metal Emotiva badge on the grill adds a touch of sophistication and signals quality craftsmanship.

Custom Audio Configuration

For those who love tailoring their sound, the XC3 offers bi-amp terminals. These allow separate access to the woofer and midrange/tweeter sections for custom bi-amping or bi-wiring setups.

Seamless Integration

The XC3 is engineered for consistency in sound. It is timbre-matched to integrate smoothly with both the newest Airmotiv X series and the classic Airmotiv models, ensuring a cohesive audio experience.

Our Commitment to Quality

Reflecting our commitment to quality, the XC3 comes with a full five-year transferable warranty. This guarantee reinforces the confidence in its lasting performance and reliability in your audio setup.

(Note: The XC3's size and weight require careful consideration. It's a substantial speaker that needs a strong cabinet, stand, or shelf for safe mounting. For stand placement, especially under a screen, heavy-duty speaker stands are recommended to ensure adequate support and stability.)

Airmotiv X Loudspeakers: Redefining A Legacy

Introducing the Airmotiv X Loudspeakers - a blend of our best product design and high performance. These speakers are crafted for the ultimate audio goal: to convey the full sound spectrum with minimal distortion to bring out the best in any audio, from classical tunes to rock anthems and even blockbuster movies.

Transforming a basic electrical signal into a rich musical experience, your loudspeakers are crucial in any audio setup. They are the heart of music's emotional impact. Quality speakers don't just play sound; they create an immersive listening adventure.

Whether you're an audiophile with a stereo system or seeking a top-tier home theater experience, Airmotiv X fits perfectly. We've meticulously merged superior technical prowess, exceptional sound clarity, stylish design, and value in Airmotiv X to create our best speakers yet.

New Airmotiv Aesthetics

Our new Airmotiv X loudspeakers feature a new modern design aesthetic. The cabinets on the towers are slender and graceful. The front panels feature a very gentle edge bevel, which is attractive and helps reduce diffraction. The magnetically attached grills, with their rounded corner details, finish the presentation. In addition to the elegant satin lacquer finish on the front panels, we've added smooth trim rings that conceal the driver mounting hardware and help control diffraction while giving the new Airmotiv X loudspeakers a more sophisticated and finished appearance.

Revamped Performance Design

The new Airmotiv X loudspeakers also feature new and improved touches, taking them to a higher level than ever before for Airmotiv. The new Airmotiv X Loudspeakers feature a rotatable folded ribbon tweeter with an improved waveguide allowing users to configure the speaker to fit their specific system layout. The towers are structurally reinforced with internal window bracing and lined with thick Dacron for optimal sound dampening. Every speaker includes an internal-mounted crossover and efficient wire routing, ensuring efficient performance and serviceability. The robust, over-one-inch thick multi-layer front panel enhances rigidity. The driver layout is optimized for superior sound quality, complemented by non-parallel midrange walls to reduce internal reflections, delivering an exceptional acoustic experience.
