XPR-1
Introduction
The XPR-1 Reference Mono-block Power Amplier embodies everything we’ve learned about
designing audiophile ampliers in one stunning package: virtually unlimited raw power, the
absolute best in sound quality, the latest technology, and elegant good looks. For the dedicated
audiophile, nothing competes with a true monoblock design - full isolation for each channel with
no compromises and no distractions. For the truly discerning music lover, nothing competes with
the XPR-1.
The XPR-1 can effortlessly deliver 1000 watts into 8 ohms and 1750 watts into 4 ohms, at less
than 0.1% THD. At 1 watt, the distortion is a miniscule 0.0025%; and the S/N ratio is an amazing
118 dB below full power. The XPR-1 utilizes two high efciency Optimized Class H™ power
amplier modules, operated in fully differential mode, powered by a massive 2.5 kVA toroidal
power supply with 240,000 microfarads of energy storage.
An advanced ARM-7 microprocessor with a custom operating system continuously monitors
operation, runs the high performance LED metering system, and controls the acoustically
transparent high-speed protection circuitry. Gold-plated, machined, heavy duty input and output
connectors ensure that signals are transferred with the utmost delity.
The XPR-1 faceplate, made of 25 millimeters of solid machined aluminum, sports a high-
gloss black nish, and is tooled and polished like ne jewelry. A smoked polycarbonate display
window conceals the congurable LED display when it’s not engaged, and the Emotiva logo
laser engraved on the faceplate proudly proclaims the XPR-1’s place in Emotiva’s superlative
new Reference amplier line. A reinforced solid steel chassis keeps everything rmly in its
place. Concealed blue accent lighting completes the picture of cool elegance and effortless
performance.
This philosophy of raw power, quality construction, and precise control is at the heart of every
component in the new Emotiva Reference Series. More important, however, is how the
XPR-1 sounds: simply perfect.
The Emotiva XPR-1: classic good looks; limitless power; precise control.
Is it the ultimate monoblock amplier?
We think so.
The Emotiva Team
Happy listening!
