What kind of amplifier is the emotiva xpr-1?

What kind of amplifier is the emotiva xpr-1?

There is a preamp stage consisting of high quality op-amp amps that gets bypassed when using the amplifier’s differential (balanced) input. The Emotiva XPR-1 is quite an innovative amplifier design. It is a class A/B amplifier topology with a Class H modulating power supply.

How many watts does an emotiva xpa-1 monoblock amplifier have?

It’s all about control, and the XPA-1 is a control freak. 500 watts RMS into 8 ohms, 1,000 watts RMS into 4 ohms. All the performance you’d expect to see from an audiophile reference level amplifier. But what about the sound?

What kind of power supply does emotiva use?

It is a class A/B amplifier topology with a Class H modulating power supply. Unlike many of the high-efficiency Class H pro amps that utilize SMPS power supplies, Emotiva spared no expense and instead employed a much cleaner traditional linear power supply with a 30lb 2.5kVA transformer and 24 10,000 uF capacitor bank.

What is the signal to noise ratio of emotiva?

Signal to Noise Ratio (8 Ohm load): 118 dB at rated power (A-weighted). / 93 dB at 1 watt (A-weighted). Speaker Output Connections: Super heavy-duty custom Emotiva speaker binding posts – with clear acrylic insulators and heavy duty gold plated contacts; designed to accept heavy-gauge bare cables, lugs, or banana plugs.

How many watts does emotiva xpa-1 monoblock power amplifier?

The specifications are quite impressive: 500W RMS into 8 Ohms, 1000W RMS into 4 Ohms. As we’ll see later in the measurements section, these are very conservative ratings.

What is the purpose of an emotiva amplifier?

We, like most audiophiles, agree that an amplifier should do nothing more than boost the signal, without adding any sound of its own. That’s what we design Emotiva amplifiers to do effortlessly and dynamically. Still need help? Still need help? Start a chat or call us.
