Emotiva XPA DR3 - Differential Reference Three Channel Power Amplifier

The XPA-DR3 features three of our 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 theater 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.

Audio Specifications

• The XPA-DR3 features three Differential Reference™ Amplifier Modules.  

   

  • Power Output (all three channels driven):
    450 watts RMS, per channel, into 8 Ohms, at <0.1% THD.
    600 watts RMS, per channel, into 4 Ohms, at <0.1% THD.

  • Power Bandwidth (at rated power; 8 Ohm load): 20 Hz to 20 kHz (+ / – 0.1 dB).

  • Broad Band Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 50 kHz +0/-2 dB.

  • THD + noise: < 0.008%; at 100 watts RMS; 1 kHz; 8 Ohms.

  • Signal to Noise Ratio (8 Ohm load):
    > 120 dB; ref FTC rated power; unbalanced input (A-weighted).
    > 96 dB; ref 1 watt; unbalanced input (A-weighted).

  • Minimum Recommended Load Impedance (per channel): 4 Ohms
    (which equals one 4 Ohm load or two paralleled 8 Ohm loads).

  • Damping Factor (8 Ohm load): > 500.

  • Input Sensitivity (for rated power; 8 Ohm load): 2.0 V.

  • Gain: 29 dB.

  • Input Impedance:
    33 kOhms (balanced).
    23.5 kOhms (unbalanced).

  Input And Output Connections

  • Input Connections:
    Unbalanced (RCA); balanced (XLR); one each, per channel, user selectable.

  • Speaker Output Connections: Audiophile grade, gold plated, 5-way binding posts.

  • Trigger:
    Trigger Input: 5 – 12 V (AC or DC); <10 mA input current required.
    Trigger Output: 12 VDC; can drive any load up to 120 mA.

  Power Requirements

  • Between 100 VAC and 250 VAC @ 50 / 60 Hz (automatically detected).

  Front Panel Controls and Indicators

  • Standby: push button (halo ring changes color to indicate Standby or On).

  • Status LEDs: one per channel; blue.
    Status LEDs change to red to indicate a fault condition.

  Rear Panel Controls

  • AC Power switch: rocker switch (switches AC main power).

  • Status LEDs switch: disables front panel Status LEDs and dims Standby button halo.

  • Input selector switches (one per channel):
    metal toggle switches; select between balanced and unbalanced inputs.

  • Circuit Breaker: press button to reset circuit breaker.

  Protection

  • The XPA-DR3 is protected against excessive operating temperature, shorted speaker connections, ground faults, and other common fault conditions.
