Amps

The Amplifier: Boosts your Preamp/Processor Signal to Match the Power of Loudspeakers    An amplifier takes the signal coming from each channel of a preamp or processor and boosts it so it can power loudspeakers. For most systems, you will need one amplifier channel for each speaker connected.    We, like most audiophiles, agree that an amplifier should do nothing more than boost the signal, without adding any sound of its own. That’s what we design Emotiva’s to do.   Modern amps are typically “power amps,” which means they don’t have many controls - simply a power switch, and maybe an input selector. These include our A-300, A-500, and A-700 amps.   Higher-end amplifiers, including our XPA and XPA-DR models, offer both balanced and unbalanced inputs, and have a trigger input so they can be switched on and off remotely by your preamp or processor.
