Description
The power amplifier performs the simple but critical job of boosting the output signals from each channel of your stereo preamp or surround sound processor to the level necessary to drive your loudspeakers. While this may seem trivial, a really good power amp is essential to having a great audio system, because any flaws in the performance of your power amp are going to limit the performance of your entire system. Every amplifier in the new Third Generation XPA series was carefully designed to deliver superb technical performance, unsurpassed sound quality, and an exceptionally accurate and dynamic rendition of all types of music, thus ensuring that your entire system will sound its absolute best. Each individual XPA amplifier is modular, and can be customized to provide exactly the power and number of channels you need today, and expanded later if your needs change; and multiple matching chassis enable you to add even more channels, or more power, for a near endless variety of options. The new XPA-11 is an eleven-channel audiophile quality power amplifier. The XPA-11 is populated with three of our High-Powered Single Channel Modules, and four of our Stereo Modules, for a total of three high-powered channels and eight lower-powered channels. This combination is ideal for a surround sound system that is used for both music and home theater listening, and includes height speakers. The three front speakers, which are the most critical for both music and home theater listening, are powered by the three high-powered channels. The surround channels, and the height channels, are driven by the lower powered stereo modules. Even though the channels differ in terms of maximum power output, they feature perfectly matched electrical characteristics, and the same superb Class A/B sound quality. The XPA-11 is perfect for powering:A 7.1.4 or 5.1.6 Dolby Atmos or DTS-X systemA 7.1 or 7.2 channel system that also includes two pairs of smaller speakers in other zonesConfiguration: 3 x High-Powered Single-Channel Modules4 x Stereo ModulesThe power output capabilities of the various channels on the XPA-11 were optimized to provide the best sound quality in real-world listening conditions; the front channels, which are the most critical for both dynamic music reproduction and crystal clear dialog, receive the most power. (This is especially the case if your system features large tower speakers in the front, a large center channel speaker, bookshelf or wall mounted surrounds, and ceiling mounted height speakers.)

Our new Third Generation XPA series power amplifiers are all designed from the ground up to perform a single critical task – to accurately reproduce every detail and nuance of your music. By focusing all of our efforts on that one goal, we’ve been able to design an amplifier that performs its job with remarkable precision, and avoids most of the compromises that limit lesser designs. Experience Meets Cutting Edge TechnologyWhen we set out to design the latest version of our XPA series of amplifiers, we analyzed everything in every amplifier we’ve ever made, from front to back, inside and out. By combining years of design experience, with a thorough understanding of recent advances in audio technology, we were able to determine several areas where we could improve on our previous designs. After carefully weighing all the options, we kept the best features of our previous models, added some new technology where we determined it would actually deliver significant improvements, and optimized several operating parameters to ensure that it would all work together flawlessly. The new Third Generation represents a significant improvement for our highly acclaimed XPA series of amplifiers – and delivers improvements in both technical performance and sound quality.All of the models in our new Third Generation XPA amplifier family are designed to reproduce today’s high definition movie sound tracks and music sources with awesome realism, amazing finesse and precision, and without the slightest hint of strain or signal compression. They deliver a listening experience that is far above anything you can achieve with multi-purpose components like receivers, or with other amplifiers in their modest price range. We’re talking about real-world power and fidelity that you can immediately hear and appreciate. Designed and Assembled in the USA with Globally Sourced ComponentsAll of our new Third Generation XPA power amplifiers, including the XPA-11, are designed, assembled, and tested in the USA. Assembling products here in the USA gives us exceptional control over every facet of the design and production process, which helps us build the highest quality products for our customers while minimizing unnecessary complications and production delays. Each Emotiva amplifier is carefully designed with premium components to deliver a stunningly capable, reliable, and refined system. Note: To ensure that amplifier channels are always installed properly, and function to our specifications, amplifier modules must be installed by Emotiva, or by your local authorized Emotiva service representative.FEATURED SPECIFICATIONSAudioPower output (High-Powered Single Channel Modules): 300 watts/channel RMS into 8 Ohms; two channels driven | 490 watts/channel RMS into 4 Ohms; two channels drivenPower output (Stereo Modules): 65 watts/channel RMS into 8 Ohms; two channels driven | 100 watts/channel RMS into 4 Ohms; two channels drivenAudiophile quality Class A/B output stage.Balanced and unbalanced inputs for compatibility with a wide variety of preamps and surround sound processors.Design TopologyClass A/B output stage; Optimized Class H power supply topology on High-Powered Single Channel Modules for improved efficiency.Regulated switch mode power supply combines massive power capability, high reliability, excellent performance, and reduced weight.FeaturesFully modular construction for optimum flexibility.Universal AC power automatically selects the proper line voltage for easy installation in a wide variety of locations.Comprehensive yet transparent protection circuitry protects from most common fault conditions without degrading sound quality.
