11-channel power amplifier for immersive surround sound
The Emotiva XPA-11 Gen 3 is an 11-channel amplifier of exceptional talent and skill. Its 11-channel output offers excellent system flexibility. Use it to drive a Dolby Atmos/DTS:X 5.1.6 or 7.1.4 system. Alternatively, you can run a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound system, with multiple speaker pairs in other rooms.
The power to impress
With advances in power supply technology, the Emotiva XPA-11 Gen 3 perfectly balances power, quality and profitability. Using a regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) power supply, this amplifier combines traditional Class A/B and H-Class technologies for the perfect combination of quality and power. With up to 300 watts per channel (in stereo mode), the three main modules offer crushing power. For lower-effect speakers, channels 4 through 11 are powered by stereo modules that offer up to 65 watts per channel.
Purity to match power
Unlike some digital-only digital power amplifiers, the XPA-11 Gen 3 also uses an A/B-class analog amplifier stage. This preserves the excitement and “flow” of music in a way that many digital amplifiers struggle to transmit.
Modular construction for upgrade potential
Modular construction allows you to configure XPA power amplifiers from 2 to 14 channels. This not only helps reduce costs, but also allows you to upgrade the power amplifier in the future. Return the amplifier to the Emotiva Base of the United States and have additional channels or higher quality Differential Reference (DR) modules installed, without having to change the amplifier.
XlR balanced and unbalanced RCA phono inputs for system flexibility
For maximum system flexibility, the Emotiva XPA-11 Gen 3 is equipped with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA phono inputs. For best results, pair an Emotiva processor and use balanced XLR connections for strong synergy and high levels of resistance to electrical interference. RCA phono inputs and well-balanced sound make this power amplifier ideal for use with other brands of AV processors.
Designed and built in the United States
Designed and built, at home, in the United States, it means that Emotiva maintains consistency and high-quality control. The sturdy steel case has the visual muscle to fit the sound that fills the room.
Emotiva XPA-11 Gen3 is a high-quality 11-channel power amplifier. It offers a blunt growl where it is needed, and it does so efficiently. It has more than enough power to drive even the most demanding system, while it is also very sensitive.
The amplification of the XPA-11 is balanced and detailed, but it also produces a lot of head space, so even at large volumes, it is never distorted. It is not always the most refined amplifier, but the point is missing, and those looking for a powerful and muscular delivery will be happy.
It’s beautifully crafted, with an eye-catchingly designed chassis and a modular approach that allows owners to gradually add channels as their system expands. The Emotiva XPA-11 also has a competitive price tag, which currently makes it the 11-channel amplifier with the best value for money and the best final purchase.
