Description
Emotiva Airmotiv XC2 Overview
The Emotiva Airmotiv XC2 is a high-performance center channel speaker designed to deliver clear and dynamic audio for home theater setups. Its three-way design incorporates a 25x32mm folded ribbon tweeter, a 5.25-inch midrange driver, and dual 6-inch woven fiber woofers, ensuring an immersive soundstage. The XC2 has a frequency range of 40Hz–27kHz, offering strong bass and crisp highs, while its 89dB sensitivity and 4-ohm impedance require a robust amplifier for optimal performance. The speaker is rear-ported, so placement should allow space from walls to avoid overly boomy bass. The XC2's refined build and ability to reproduce dialog with precision make it an excellent choice for cinematic audio【125†source】【126†source】.
