The Emotiva Airmotiv XB1 is a versatile compact two-way bookshelf speaker featuring a 22mm x 25mm (or 25mm x 32mm per some sources) rotatable Airmotiv folded ribbon tweeter with Neo magnet system and a 4” woven cone woofer with aluminum voice coil, long throw motor, progressive spider, copper shorting ring, and NBR surround. Designed for shelves, stands, desks, or near-field monitoring, it delivers rich balanced sound with crisp highs, smooth mids, and controlled bass, seamlessly blending with subwoofers for extended low frequencies. The rear-ported HDF cabinet is painted on the baffle, PVC laminated, 25mm thick, window braced, and extensively damped for minimal resonance. It offers wide dispersion, timbre-matching with other Airmotiv models, magnetic grills, and 5-way binding posts. Perfect for stereo, desktop, or surround use in small spaces.
