Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the new Emotiva Stealth SA-250 Studio Reference Power Amplifier.  

The SA-250 is truly a unique overachiever. The SA-250 offers superb audiophile sound quality, 

incredible performance, a full complement of professional features, and a cool stealth design 

aesthetic - and is equally at home in the demanding environment of a professional studio, or 

driving the critical main channels in a high-end home stereo or home theater system. 

The SA-250 was designed to be the the flagship amplifier for a new line of super-high-end studio 

equipment. Although it inherits its short signal path Class A/B architecture from our audiophile 

equipment, the SA-250 incorporates several circuit refinements and additions that raise its 

performance to a whole new level. The massively overbuilt power supply allows the SA-250 to 

drive any real-world speaker load effortlessly and with aplomb; it’s incredibly low distortion 

and amazingly low noise floor ensure that you’ll hear all the music, with nothing added or 

subtracted; and its heavy-duty chassis and faceted face plate - machined from a solid 1” slab of 

aluminum - contribute to its ruggedness and understated good looks. A full compliment of inputs, 

independent Gain and Ground Lift controls for each channel, and available rack-mount hardware, 

round out the list of features that make the SA-250 truly exceptional.

Happy listening!
