About the Emotiva XPA-11 Gen3 Eleven Channel Power Amplifier

Product Description

Emotiva XPA-11 Gen3 is an eleven-channel audiophile power amplifier that delivers exceptionally accurate and dynamic renditions of all types of music.

The XPA-11 Gen3 offers the rare combination of excellent technical performance and superb sound quality, which makes it the perfect solution for listening to your favourite multi-channel music or for listening to movie soundtracks in a high-end home theatre system.

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. All seven module slots in the XPA-11 Gen3 are already populated.

Quality Construction

Top quality parts and construction are used throughout for years of reliable trouble-free service. Heavy steel 4RU chassis with milled aluminium faceplate offers strength and rugged good looks. Solid machined gold-plated RCA input connectors provide a reliable connection with a wide variety of audio interconnects. Fully modular construction allows you to purchase as many channels as you need today, and then add more channels later when and if you need them.
