Emotiva ERT/ERM/ERD Loudspeakers Proprietary Design

Emotiva ERT-8.3/ERM-6.3/ERM-6.2 Loudspeakers are designed in cooperation with loudspeaker guru Vance Dickason, author of ‘The Loudspeaker Design Cookbook.’ All Emotiva transducers, crossover networks and internal components are custom designed and specifically built for use in Emotiva loudspeakers.

Transducers

Proprietary tri-fiber composite cone - Made from two strands of a para-aramid synthetic fiber and one strand of fiberglass, this lightweight low resonance material remains extremely rigid for accurate sound reproduction at moderate to loud levels and flexes at the highest levels to allow the NBR surround to absorb possible distortion. Para-aramid fibers are high strength and extremely heat resistant, and used under various trade names for many thermal, electrical, and protective apparel uses (including bulletproof vests).

NBR surround for enhanced cone edge termination Composite rubber ring reduces coloration and distortion.

Proprietary high performance motor structure - Computer optimized motor structure for high sensitivity and extended linear excursion. Unique full venting design allows maximum power handling and reduced dynamic compression.

Integrated copper and aluminum shorting rings - To reduce distortion and 2nd and 3rd order harmonics.

Flat progressive rate spider - Progressive rate is compliant at low power (for efficiency), and stiffens at high excursions for control. The harder it is pushed, the tighter it gets.

Die cast aluminum frame - Provides rigid and precise alignment for all moving components and increases durability. Non-ferrous frame eliminates magnetic interference, and provides enhanced thermal dissipation and power handling.

25mm wide surround silk dome diaphragm tweeter - Wide surround silk dome diaphragm for crystal clear highs without metallic harshness. Features a Ferro-fluid cooled voice coil, an integrated heat-sink mounted on the motor structure, and an internally damped low resonance rear chamber.

Precision Crossover

Asymmetrical 4th order Linkwitz-Riley crossover

Precision metal film capacitors and Low DCR air core inductors - Chosen for low distortion and high accuracy properties in critical signal paths.

Impedance compensation - For precise frequency response compensation and contouring.

Phase compensation - For consistent on-axis and off-axis frequency response characteristics.

ERT-8.3, ERM-6.2, ERM-1, ERM-6.3 specifications

Emotiva, a prominent name in the audio equipment industry, has garnered attention with its ERM and ERT loudspeakers, providing high-quality sound reproduction for home theater and musical enthusiasts. Among their impressive lineup are the ERM-6.2, ERM-1, ERM-6.3, and ERT-8.3 models, each designed with distinct features and technologies that cater to different acoustic needs and preferences.

The ERM-6.2 is a versatile bookshelf speaker that excels in both compactness and performance. It incorporates a 6.5-inch woven fiber woofer that delivers deep bass while maintaining clarity in mids and highs. The 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter ensures a crisp and detailed upper range, making it suitable for both movie soundtracks and music. Notably, the ERM-6.2 employs advanced crossover technology, ensuring a seamless transition between drivers for a coherent listening experience.

Next in line is the ERM-1, a smaller bookshelf speaker that doesn’t compromise on sonic quality. It features a 5.25-inch polypropylene woofer designed to handle lower frequencies efficiently while providing a well-rounded sound signature. The 1-inch silk dome tweeter supports an airy and finely detailed treble response, making it an excellent choice for smaller rooms or as part of a surround sound setup.

The ERM-6.3 is a floor-standing speaker that boasts a larger footprint and enhanced audio capability. It integrates dual 6.5-inch woofers for substantial bass response while a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter guarantees a wide soundstage. The design and engineering allow for a greater power handling capacity, ensuring that it can fill larger spaces with rich, immersive audio.

On the home theater front, the ERT-8.3 represents Emotiva's commitment to delivering exceptional surround sound experiences. This speaker system features an 8-inch woofers and dual 1-inch tweeters, producing robust bass and crystal-clear highs. Its unique design allows for flexible placement options, whether mounted on walls or used in conjunction with standard speakers.

Each model embodies Emotiva's dedication to quality craftsmanship and acoustic precision. Key technologies such as high-performance drivers, sophisticated crossover networks, and durable cabinet construction enhance overall performance. Collectively, the ERM-6.2, ERM-1, ERM-6.3, and ERT-8.3 appeal to audiophiles seeking refinement in sound reproduction, making them noteworthy options for both casual listeners and serious audio enthusiasts. With their diverse range of features and technologies, these Emotiva speakers offer something for everyone, reshaping how sound is experienced in any listening environment.
