The XPA C Gen3 is a fully modular audio power amplifier with a high-efficiency switch mode power supply (SMPS), independent, fully discrete,
dual differential, high current, short signal path Class A/B amplifier modules, Optimized Class H™ power supply topology, and microprocessor-controlled fault
protection.
The XPA C Gen3 is powered by a high efficiency, audiophile grade, Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS).

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
The XPA Gen3 is protected against excessive operating temperature, shorted speaker connections, ground faults, and other common fault conditions.
