Emotiva A5 Overview
The latest in Emotiva's lineup of high-end audio components, the A5 aims to please the budget-conscious aficionado. Featuring a beefed-up linear power supply, high-quality Class A/B amplification, transparent fault protection, and trigger input and output, this model is designed to take the cake for best-of-breed audio performance.
Emotiva A5 Features
As with all Emotiva products, the A5 is made up of well-chosen components that have been assembled to deliver a powerful and smooth performance. A heavy-duty, all-analog linear power supply delivers 95 watts per channel into 8 ohms or 130 watts per channel into 4 ohms. A high-quality Class A/B amplification circuit uses a patented XLFO circuit to deliver a smooth and realistic sound.
The A5's smallest and most understated design feature is its clever little 'hide-aways', which include two oversized front panel buttons. Each button is positioned in the middle of its faceplate, with an illuminated button on its right side, and a smaller, hidden button on the left.
A clever, albeit small, touchpad on the right-hand side of the front panel is also a welcome addition. It's a great way to activate and deactivate various functions on your device while you're watching a movie, or interacting with your favorite streaming services.
