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.

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 internally 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.
