Emotiva XPA Gen3 is an audiophile power amplifier which can be configured with exactly the number and type of amplifier channels you need. Whichever configuration you select, your XPA Gen3 amplifier will deliver the same rare combination of excellent technical performance and superb sound quality, which makes it the perfect solution for listening to your favorite multi-channel music or for listening to movie soundtracks in a high-end home theater system.
Each XPA Gen3 amplifier chassis can be populated with anywhere between two and seven modules, each of which can be a High-Powered Single Channel Module or a Stereo Module. Modules of both types can be combined in the same chassis, offering you unheard-of flexibility to build the exact amplifier configuration you need.
Modular Construction
The XPA Gen3 modular power amplifier is comprised of a heavy-duty chassis, which houses the oversized power supply, and up to seven amplifier modules. The XPA Gen3 can be purchased with anywhere between two and seven amplifier modules installed, and additional amplifier modules may be installed as more channels of amplification are needed (up to a maximum of seven modules). The front panel display and protection system are designed to work with the maximum number of channels and so need not be updated when the XPA Gen3 is expanded; on the rear panel, slots not occupied by amplifier modules will be covered with protective cover panels.
Configuration
The new XPA-3 is a three-channel audiophile quality power amplifier, and is perfect for powering:
-
The three important front channels of a 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel home theater system.
Connecting an XPA-3 to the preamp outputs of your current high-quality AVR is a great way to upgrade the performance and sound quality of the three critical front channels.
Configuration:
3 x High-Powered Single-Channel Modules
(four module slots remain available for future expansion)
Power output:
275 watts/channel RMS into 8 Ohms; all channels driven
300 watts/channel RMS into 8 Ohms; two channels driven
490 watts/channel RMS into 4 Ohms; two channels driven
