Three Channels for Exceptional Sound

The Emotiva XPA-3 Gen 3 is a powerhouse of a 3-channel amplifier. It is perfectly suited to drive the Left, Centre, and Right channels in your 3.1, 5.1, or larger home cinema setup. By directing ample power and top-notch quality to these crucial channels, it creates a truly immersive and convincing home cinema audio experience.

Unmatched Power

Thanks to innovative advancements in power supply technology, the XPA-3 Gen 3 strikes a harmonious balance between power, quality, and cost-efficiency. It incorporates a regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) and seamlessly integrates traditional Class A/B and Class H technologies, delivering a masterful fusion of quality and power. With a robust 300 watts per channel (490 watts into 4 ohms) in stereo mode, the XPA-3 Gen 3 is always ready to meet your power demands. Even when all three channels are in operation, this power amplifier still provides an impressive 275 watts per channel, ensuring compatibility with even the most demanding speakers.

Purity Complementing Power

Setting it apart from digital-only power amplifiers, the XPA-3 Gen 3 features an analog Class A/B amplifier stage. This design preserves the emotional depth and musical fluidity that can be lost in many digital amplifiers.

Modular Construction for Future-Proofing

The modular construction of XPA power amplifiers allows for configuration from 2 to 14 channels. This not only helps manage costs but also provides the flexibility to upgrade the power amplifier as needed. You can return the amp to Emotiva's US base to have additional channels or higher-quality DR (Differential Reference) modules added, all without replacing your existing amplifier.

Versatile Connectivity

For optimal system flexibility, the XPA-3 Gen 3 offers both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA phono inputs. To achieve the best results, pair it with an Emotiva processor and utilize the balanced XLR connections for enhanced synergy and heightened resistance to electrical interference. The RCA phono inputs offer a well-balanced sound, making this power amplifier suitable for use with AV processors from other brands as well.

Crafted in the USA

Designed and meticulously crafted in-house in the USA, the Emotiva XPA-3 Gen 3 upholds consistently high standards of quality and performance. Encased in a robust steel chassis, it not only delivers room-filling sound but also possesses the visual presence to match its sonic prowess.
