Description

Five Channels of Sonic Authority

The Emotiva XPA-5 Gen 3 is a 5-channel amplifier of exceptional capability and versatility. Harness its power to drive a 5-channel system, delivering equal and robust amplification to all your speakers. Alternatively, employ it as the primary amplifier in a more intricate home cinema setup.

Powerhouse Performance

Through cutting-edge advancements in power supply technology, the XPA-5 Gen 3 skillfully balances power, quality, and cost-effectiveness. It seamlessly combines a regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) with elements of traditional Class A/B and Class H technologies, achieving an ideal fusion of quality and power. With a formidable 250 watts per channel (all channels driven), the XPA-5 Gen 3 possesses the might to effortlessly complement any home cinema speaker configuration. Switch to stereo mode, and you'll enjoy an impressive 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms or a substantial 490 watts per channel into 4-ohm speakers.

Purity Aligned with Power

Distinguishing itself from digital-only power amplifiers, the XPA-5 Gen 3 incorporates an analog Class A/B amplifier stage. This design preserves the emotional depth and natural "flow" of music, a quality often challenging for digital amplifiers to convey.

Upgrade-Friendly Modular Design

The modular construction of XPA power amplifiers offers the flexibility to configure from 2 to 14 channels. This not only helps manage costs but also future-proofs your power amplifier. Simply return the amp to Emotiva's US base for the addition of extra channels or upgraded DR (Differential Reference) modules, all without the need to replace your existing amp.

Versatile Connectivity Options

The XPA-5 Gen 3 provides both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA phono inputs, ensuring maximum flexibility for your system. For optimal performance, pair it with an Emotiva processor and utilize the balanced XLR connections to achieve strong synergy and enhanced resistance to electrical interference. The inclusion of RCA phono inputs ensures a balanced and harmonious sound, making this power amplifier suitable for use with AV processors from other brands.

Crafted in the USA

Designed and meticulously crafted in-house in the USA, the Emotiva XPA-5 Gen 3 maintains unwavering standards of consistency and quality control. Encased in a robust steel chassis, it not only delivers room-filling sound but also possesses the visual gravitas to match its sonic prowess.
