XPR-1

Features

The XPR-1 Reference Mono-block Power Amplifier is a truly exceptional performer. It 

combines the power, reliability, and superb sound quality of a great audiophile amplifier with 

the features and aesthetics of a true audio showpiece. 

Some of the features offered by the XPR-1 include:

•  Fully balanced; fully differential - for the ultimate in audio purity and performance.

•  Superb sound quality - as with all Emotiva amplifiers, the XPR-1 was designed first 

and foremost to deliver outstanding sound quality.

•  Massive output power -1000 watts into 8 ohms; 1750 watts into 4 ohms,  

of real continuous power.

•  Optimized Class H™ operation - with independently tracking power supply rails, 

provides better efficiency and cooler operation than Class A/B (and even other types of 

Class H designs), with no sacrifice in sound quality.

•  Huge power supply - with an enormous 2.5 kVA toroidal power transformer and 

240,000 microfarads of energy storage, ensures stunning dynamic capabilities, and no 

loss of power under virtually any signal or load conditions.

•  Totally stable - with virtually all real-world speaker loads.

•  Attractive styling - which harmonizes well with virtually any audio system or room 

decor. The cool blue accent illumination and blue meter LEDs complement the high-

gloss black of the front panel and trim; the accent lighting and meters can each be 

independently switched off (or dimmed in multiple steps) for times when you’d rather 

avoid distractions from your music or movie; the meters can be operated vertically or 

horizontally (and in left - right horizontal mode for symmetrical pairs).

•  Super heavy duty audiophile speaker binding posts - with clear acrylic insulators 

and heavy duty gold plated contacts; designed to accept heavy-gauge bare cables, 

lugs, or banana plugs.

•  High-quality gold-plated RCA input connectors - ensure a perfect connection,  

and provide a rock-solid connection for even heavy audiophile interconnects. 

•  True audiophile-grade fault protection - is entirely transparent under normal 

conditions, yet protects the amp and your other equipment from virtually all common 

fault conditions. 

•  Trigger Input and Trigger Output - for linking to other trigger-enabled equipment.

•  Universal AC line voltage operation -115 VAC or 230 VAC (auto-switching). 

•  Fully transferable five-year warranty - ensures that you’ll be able to enjoy your  

XPR-1 for years to come.
