The Emotiva UPA-1 is a single-channel monoblock power amplifier using a fully discrete, dual-differential, high-current Class A/B topology. It delivers 200 watts RMS into 8 ohms and 350 watts RMS into 4 ohms at 0.1% THD, with a 5 Hz–150 kHz broadband frequency response and 32 dB gain. The amplifier provides balanced and unbalanced inputs, a 300 VA toroidal transformer, 80,000 µF of power-supply capacitance, six output devices, and a 4-ohm minimum load rating. It is built in a 17-inch-wide chassis and weighs approximately 26 pounds.
