FAQ
The XC3 is a large-format, three-way center channel loudspeaker designed for high-performance home theaters and larger listening spaces. It features a high-output 25mm x 32mm folded ribbon tweeter, dual 5.25” woven fiber midranges, and four 6” woofers, delivering exceptional clarity, dynamics, and scale for the most demanding systems.
The XC3 is ideal as the centerpiece of a premium surround sound setup, especially when paired with Airmotiv X tower speakers. Its wide dispersion and natural tonal balance make it perfect for large rooms or theaters where clean dialogue and dynamic impact are critical.
With a true three-way design and dual midranges, the XC3 provides smooth, even coverage across the front stage. Its high-output folded ribbon tweeter ensures exceptional detail and imaging, while four 6” woofers deliver powerful, controlled bass that brings cinematic effects and music to life.
Yes. The XC3 features dual 5-way binding posts that allow for bi-amping or bi-wiring. This gives you the flexibility to fine-tune the speaker’s performance and achieve optimal synergy with your amplification setup.
Because of its size and weight, the XC3 should be placed on a sturdy, level surface, stand, or cabinet. When used below a screen, we recommend heavy-duty stands or furniture rated for its weight to ensure proper support and stability.
Absolutely. The XC3 is timbre-matched to every Airmotiv X speaker—past and present—so it integrates seamlessly into any existing Emotiva system for a unified soundstage and consistent tonality.
The XC3’s cabinet is built from heavily braced, acoustically inert HDF, finished with a satin lacquer front baffle and durable textured vinyl sides. Contoured trim rings reduce diffraction, while the magnetically attached grill with a solid metal Emotiva badge adds a refined aesthetic touch.
For optimal performance, pair the XC3 with an amplifier rated at 100 watts per channel or more. Its 4-ohm nominal impedance is safe for amplifiers designed for 8-ohm loads.
Every Airmotiv XC3 is backed by a 5-year factory warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and support for your investment.
