Page 12: Input Connection Considerations
Input Connection Considerations Whenever possible, keep preamplifier level audio cables away from electrical power cords by at least a few inches. It’ s more important with amplifiers as the AC power cords are carrying much more current than other source and preamplifier components, which means there is a larger degree of noise or “hum”... -

Connection Diagrams 12V Trigger Connections The 12 VDC trigger connection shown can be used to turn the amplifier on when the preamplifier turns on. This trigger will actually trigger with any switched DC Voltage from 5-12 VDC; however, the majority of home theater components use a standard 12 VDC trigger connection for this function. -
Page 14: Series And Parallel Speaker Connections
Series and Parallel Speaker Connections Whenever connecting more than one speaker per channel to an amplifier (regardless of the brand), you must consider the way in which the amplifier will be impacted by adding the additional speaker(s). Additionally, speakers with dual voice coils also apply to this consideration. Two voice coils in a single speaker also cause different reactions from an amplifier depending on the way in which they connect to the amplifier. -
Page 15: Technical Note About Multiple Speaker Connections
• The negative output terminal of the right channel connects to the negative input post of the fi rst speaker and to the negative post of the second speaker. The total impedance of equal speakers in parallel is found by dividing the impedance of one speaker by the number of speakers. -
Page 16: Troubleshooting Guide
Troubleshooting Guide The Emotiva XPA-1 is expertly designed and built to provide years of trouble-free performance. Most problems that occur can usually be solved by checking your setup or making sure that the audio and video components connected to the amplifier are on and fully operational. -
Page 17: Turn-On And Turn-Off Thumps
• Plug the amplifi er into an un-switched AC outlet, and use the 3.5mm Trigger Input connection with a trigger between 5-12VDC from the source unit or preamplifi er (such as the Emotiva LMC-1 Preamplifi er/Processor). This should allow the amplifi er to turn on and off silently. -
Page 18: Other Probable Causes Of Noise
Ground loop isolators are available for audio lines and video devices. If you need assistance, contact Emotiva . Although this is not always an ideal solution, the grounding differences between certain home entertainment components sometimes require ground loop isolators. This is the exception rather than the rule. -
