About the XPA C
The Emotiva XPA C Compact Chassis Power Amplifier is a modular, high-performance audiophile-grade amplifier designed for home theater and stereo systems. It features a shortened 15-inch chassis depth compared to the standard XPA Gen3, making it ideal for shallow entertainment centers and tight AV racks while retaining the same power supply, output stages, and modularity. Users can configure it with high-power mono modules (300W into 8 ohms, 550W into 4 ohms) and stereo modules (typically 65W per channel into 8 ohms), supporting up to 5 bays for 1 to 10 channels. It employs Class A/B output stages with Soft-Switch Class H technology, a massive silent switch-mode power supply (up to 3kW), and delivers smooth, detailed sound with low noise and high stability. Connections include gold-plated 5-way binding posts, balanced/unbalanced inputs per channel, remote trigger in/out, and universal AC power (100-250V). Pricing varies by configuration, starting from module costs like $549 for stereo or $999 for high-power.
