About the DRP-1
The Emotiva DRP-1 is the control center of the Differential Reference Design Series, featuring a fully balanced differential signal path for minimal noise and preserved detail. It uses hermetically sealed instrumentation relays for input selection, a studio-grade resistor ladder for precise volume control with perfect channel balance, and internal 80 Hz bass management (12 dB/octave crossover) with a dedicated balanced summed XLR subwoofer output. Designed for stackable integration in tight spaces, it supports both line-level and phono sources (MM and MC cartridges) with high gain and low noise. Outputs include one pair unbalanced RCA and one pair balanced XLR. It includes a full-function metal remote control (shared with DRD-1), trigger in/out (3.5mm, nominal 12V), and meets international low-power standby requirements. Currently manufactured and available directly from Emotiva.
