Emotiva XPA HC-1 Overview
If you have been looking for a single high-performance mono amplifier to power a critical center channel, or a pair of monoblocks to power your front left and right speakers, then the XPA HC-1 should be at the top of your list. Like all of our XPA Gen3 amplifiers, the HC-1 delivers outstanding performance and sound quality.
The XPA HC-1 is available with both balanced and unbalanced inputs, and audiophile-quality gold-plated five-way speaker binding posts. There's also a choice of trigger ports, which can be connected to other trigger-enabled devices, and a removable power cord.
Emotiva XPA HC-1 Features
Featuring Soft Switch Technology to increase power efficiency, the XPA HC-1 delivers low noise and distortion levels while maintaining high performance. This allows the XPA HC-1 to run at a lower wattage and deliver more sonic punch from a smaller amplifier, saving you money over the long term.
The HC-1 is a true monoblock amplifier powered by its own massive switch mode power supply. This enables it to operate on a standard IEC power cable without any loss of sound quality.
Designed, assembled, and tested at our plant here in Franklin, Tennessee, the XPA HC-1 is a full-blown audiophile-grade monoblock power amp. It combines a fully discrete, dual differential, high current, short signal path Class A/B amplifier section, Optimized Class H(tm) power supply topology, and microprocessor-controlled fault protection.
As with the XPA Gen3 amps, the HC-1 features solid machined gold-plated RCA input connectors that are compatible with a wide variety of audio interconnects. There's a choice of both balanced and unbalanced inputs, controlled by a reliable metal toggle switch.
Emotiva's unique modular system of matched chassis means that you can add more channels, or more power, to any XPA amplifier as your needs change. You can even use multiple XPA amplifiers to power a multi-channel surround sound system. With a full range of models to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect XPA amplifier for your home theater or music system.
