Discover the XB1

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 XB1→

Advanced Two-Way Design

The Airmotiv XB1 features a 25mm Airmotiv folded ribbon tweeter, a 4” woven fiber woofer/midrange, and a precision crossover built from audiophile-grade film capacitors and air-core inductors, to deliver outstanding sound quality from a very compact package

Robust and Elegant Construction

The XB1 boasts a strong, neutral sounding, HDF cabinet with a stylish satin finish lacquer on the front panel. Each driver is surrounded by a low diffraction trim ring, and the sides and rear panels of the cabinet are covered with durable attractive textured vinyl.

Attractive Aesthetics

The XB1 offers the sort of flexibility and aesthetic appeal often only found on larger and much more expensive loudspeakers. The attractive magnetically attached grill and solid metal Emotiva badge highlight our commitment to quality and design. And the fully finished front panel, and dress rings around the drivers, ensure that your XB1s will look equally impressive if you chose to run them with the grills off.

Flexible Positioning Options

Thanks to their diminutive size the XB1s are small enough to fit conveniently on any desk or shelf. And, of course, thanks to its solid construction, the XB1 works great on speaker stands too. Yet, while compact, the XB1 is quite capable of delivering smooth well-balanced sound at satisfying listening levels in near-field applications, and in small rooms, and pairs well with a subwoofer in larger rooms or more demanding applications. The tweeter and waveguide on the XB1 can also be rotated to optimize dispersion for either vertical or horizontal mounting.

The Airmotiv XB1 is a versatile compact two-way bookshelf speaker, perfect for placement on a shelf or stand, or on a desk or mixing console for near-field listening. The Airmotiv XB1 is equipped with a 22mm x 32mm Airmotiv folded ribbon tweeter and a 4” woven fiber woofer and, while it has limited output at very low frequencies, the XB1 delivers rich balanced sound, and blends seamlessly with a subwoofer for applications where more low frequency output is desired. The XB1 is compact enough to be placed directly on a desk or shelf, but substantial enough to be right at home on a speaker stand, and the tweeter and its waveguide can be positioned vertically or horizontally, enabling you to customize its directional characteristics for your application. 

Use a pair of XB1’s on stands in a small room, or right on your desk or shelf, for a great small stereo system, or add a subwoofer for more output at really low frequencies. Or use them as surround or back surround speakers in a larger surround sound system. Either way you’ll be impressed by their great sound and flexibility.

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.
