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.

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.
