AIRMOTIV SPEAKERS

Connections

Although the Airmotiv speakers have no special connection requirements, the following

suggestions may be helpful:

• Always use high-quality speaker wire of reasonable gauge (16 gauge or heavier)

• If you must use thinner wire, try to keep the length as short as possible

• Be careful to wire both (or all) speakers “in phase” (the plus/red terminal on each speaker to

the plus/red terminal on your amp)

• Try to use wires of equal length and gauge for symmetrical pairs of speakers

(don’t use a long 16 gauge wire for your Left Front and a short 10 gauge wire

for the Right Front)

• If you use stranded cables, use care to avoid short circuits (from stray strands touching)

• Emotiva oers very high quality pre-made speaker cables at reasonable prices

(you will nd them in the Interconnects section of our website at www.emotiva.com)

Several of the Airmotiv speakers provide separate speaker terminals for the woofer and

midrange/tweeter sections which allow them to be bi-wired or bi-amped. If you plan to bi-amp or

bi-wire your Airmotiv speakers, be sure to remove the jumpers between the two sets of speaker

terminals on the rear of the speaker before connecting your amplier(s).
