XPA-DR3
• Fully balanced, fully differential, fully awesome.
• The ultimate choice for the front three channels of a surround sound system.
• Pair with an XPA-4 for a powerful 7.1 channel system.
• A great way to improve the performance of a really high-end AVR.
The XPA-DR3 is a high-powered three-channel audiophile power amplifier that combines the exceptional accuracy and finesse of a true balanced differential design with the power you need to deliver musical crescendos and movie special effects with stunning realism and impact. Whatever your listening preferences, the XPA-DR3 will give you the combination of detail and power than only a fully differential amplifier can provide.
The XPA-DR3 features three of Emotiva’s Differential Reference™ Amplifier Modules and is the ideal choice to power the critical front three channels of an absolutely awesome surround sound music or home theatre system. The XPA-DR3 delivers 450 watts RMS into 8 Ohms, and 600 watts RMS into 4 Ohms, all three channels driven, with less than 0.1% THD.
