Emotiva 5 Ch Power Amp for $399
UPA-500 Five-Channel Power Amplifier | Emotiva Audio | High-end audio components for audiophiles and videophiles, spanning 2-channel music systems, as well as 5.1 and 7.1 home theaters. Products include multichannel amplifiers, stereo amplifiers, and
SPECIFICATIONS
Topology: Fully discrete, dual differential, high current, short signal path Class A/B
Number of Channels: 5
Power Output
(rated power; THD < 0.01%):
120 watts / channel (4 ohms; all channels driven)
80 watts / channel (8 ohms; all channels driven)
Rated Power Bandwidth (at rated power; 8 Ohm load): 10 Hz to 20 kHz + /- 0.06 dB
Minimum Recommended Load Impedance (each channel): 4 ohms (which equals one 4 ohm load or two paralleled 8 ohm loads per channel)
Frequency Response: 10 Hz to 70 kHz (+ 0 / - 3 dB)
THD + noise: < 0.01%
Signal to Noise Ratio (8 Ohm load):
> 96 dB at 1 watt (A-weighted)
> 117 dB at rated power (A-weighted)
Damping Factor (8 Ohm load): > 500
Speaker Output Connections:
Full-sized 5-way binding posts; one pair per channel x 5
Power Supply:
0.85 kVA toroidal power transformer
40,000 uF of storage capacitance
Input sensitivity (for rated power; 8 Ohm load): 850 mV
Gain: 29 dB
Input Connections: Unbalanced (RCA); one per channel
Input Impedance: 47 kOhms
Trigger:
Trigger Input: 5 - 20 V (AC or DC); <10 mA input current required
Trigger Output: 12 VDC; can drive any load up to 50 mA
Power Requirements: 115 VAC or 230 VAC +/- 10% @ 50 / 60 Hz (automatically detected and switched)
Front Panel Controls and Indicators:
Standby; push button (changes color to indicate Standby or On)
Status LEDs (one per channel); illuminate blue for normal operation or red to indicate a fault (may be disabled by rear panel Status LED switch)
Rear Panel Controls:
AC Power switch; rocker switch (switches AC mains power)
Status LEDs switch; small slide switch on left rear (disables front panel Status LEDs and dims Standby button halo lighting)
Protection: The UPA-500 is protected against excessive operating temperature, shorted speaker connections, ground faults, and other common fault conditions. If a fault occurs, the UPA-500 will return to Standby mode, the Standby push button will light amber, and the Status LEDs will flash red.
Dimensions: 17 wide x 3.375 high x 16.5 deep (includes feet and binding posts)
Weight: 22.9 lbs (29.4 lbs boxed)
