XPA-3

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the new and improved second generation Emotiva XPA-3 three channel
power amplifier.
The XPA-3 is the perfect amplifier to power the front channels of a truly superb surround sound audio
system. The XPA-3 has it all: enough power to drive any speaker cleanly and effortlessly, incredible
clarity and detail, vanishingly low noise and distortion, and good looks that easily fit in with any room
decor.
Our new second generation XPA-3 carries on our tradition of cutting edge design, a massively over-
designed power supply and output stages, high quality parts and construction throughout, audiophile
sound quality, and exceptional value. This new generation adds solid machined gold plated RCA jacks
on the unbalanced inputs, high-quality metal toggle switches for input selection, and a more modern
design aesthetic. We've also added some circuit refinements under the hood to make the best sound
even better.
The new XPA-3 delivers 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 330 watts per channel into 4 ohms, all
channels driven, at less than 0.1% THD+N. It is absolutely stable into virtually every real-world speaker
load you'll ever encounter, and will never allow the slightest hint of strain or harshness to intrude on
your musical experience. The XPA-3 new generation, redefining a classic.
What does the XPA-3 sound like?
Music: nothing more and nothing less!
(We wouldn't have it any other way.)
Happy listening!
