Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Emotiva X-Ref Series premium loudspeakers.
The X-Ref Series, designed in cooperation with renowned loudspeaker designer Vance
Dickason, represents the culmination of years of research into optimized loudspeaker
design. With the X-Ref Series, you are getting advanced design, premium features,
quality construction, and superb sound. All of the members of the X-Ref Series share
the same basic features, including our exclusive low-resonance 1” silk dome tweeter for
crystalline highs, proprietary blended-pulp cone mid/woofers for smooth midrange and bass
performance, and sophisticated multi-pole asymmetrical crossover to ensure a seamless
transition between elements. Critically braced MDF enclosures, dressed in our furniture-
grade, 6-layer, black satin lacquer nish, with an attractive removable grill complete the
picture. The X-Ref Series currently consists of ten models, all voiced to work perfectly
together in a stereo or home theater setup that will sound far better than you ever imagined
possible for such a modest price. We trust you’ll be as impressed with our achievement as
we are - and hope you enjoy listening to these as much as we enjoyed designing them and
bringing them to you.
The X-Ref Series of loudspeakers are designed to provide satisfying full-range sound.
If, however, you decide you need more powerful and even more extended bass response,
Emotiva offers the X-Ref series of DSP Powered Subwoofers. The X-Ref subs are
optimized to perfectly complement the X-Ref family of speakers, blending seamlessly with
them and delivering the nal lowest octaves effortlessly and with absolute authority and
precise control.
Of course we also humbly suggest that you consider pairing your Emotiva X-Ref Series
loudspeakers with a set of our exceptional sounding, yet reasonably priced, source
components and power amps.
Happy listening!
The Emotiva Team
