Product Overview
Product Features
Compact 15-Inch-Deep Chassis
We've brought the XPA Gen3 modular platform into a 15-inch-deep chassis that plays nicely with modern AV furniture. It’s a practical upgrade that does not demand a dedicated equipment rack.
Best-Selling XPA Gen3 Modular Platform
Five module bays let you configure the channels you need, using a mix of mono and stereo modules. Start small, then expand or reconfigure later, keeping the same chassis.
Flexible Connections
Each channel supports balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA, so it pairs easily with an AV processor, preamp, or receiver with pre-outs.
Clean, Controlled Class A/B Sound
Fully discrete Class A/B output stages deliver smooth detail and strong speaker control when music gets dynamic. Translation: clearer dialogue, tighter bass, and less harshness when you turn it up.
Smart Power and Built-In Protection
A high-current switch-mode power supply with Soft-Switch Optimized Class H operation helps the amp stay composed on peaks while running efficiently. Microprocessor-controlled protection helps safeguard against common faults, and it is backed by a 5-year warranty.
