Seen the double wide design pitchure on the new Website ??  Maybe both on emofest ?? Are you sure that's what this is? I'm thinking not. But has anyone really answered the nomenclature on this picture? My totally uneducated guess is that it means: - THREE = 3 single wide 300wpc mono modules - 4s = 4 Stereo modules (2 x 75 wpc each) But again, that's just a guess. We know that double wides can't go in the same chassis as single wides or stereo. |

Why couldn't they do 2x150 for the stereo modules? I would assume that since the mono module has 300w, if you divide that power to two channels we can have 2x150. Other than that, since I'm interested in that option of "THREE.4s", can someone tell us what would be the output of ALL channels driven (on a 7.x.4 Atmos setup)?

I think that is the amp I want. Any word on a release date for the stereo modules?

It seems odd for the stereo modules to be 2x75. If this wpc is confirmed, it would be cheaper to get a BasX multichannel amplifier. I would assume that the stereo modules will be 2x150 wpc

It seems extremely out of place for the stereo blades to only be 75 watts a piece. Would make the most sense from both a usability and technical standpoint to be 150 watts x 2 per stereo blade.

75W/channel for side effect, etc. speakers seems like it would be more than enough. At least for most installations. I suppose if you're running full-range speakers for your side/height speakers then you'd want more ... but then just buy the bigger amplifier modules ... I think the 2 x 75W/channel amplifier blades are for the majority of theaters which don't expect to be needing large amounts of power for these channels ...

Casey I don't disagree with the logic, but why would someone prefer to buy a 14-channel XPA GEN3 which probably would cost more than 2x BasX A-700 amplifiers(and have more power)? The rack space would be exactly the same-4U height- and would cost way less AND have more power than the XPA GEN3. It simply doesn't make any sense. |

Don't know the answer to that since I haven't compared the specifications of listened to each other them. And that latter idea of listening to them wouldn't have even been in my lexicon a few months ago till I heard the Hypex Ncore NC400 Amplifier "kits" which I assembled and gaver to a friend. I'd always been of the opinion that any sufficiently well-designed solid-state amplifier should sound like any other well-designed amplifier. I.e. "straight wire with gain". So now we have to listen to amplifiers as well as speakers, etc. ... :-)

My thoughts too, these modules need to be 100W+ or don't bother. |

I saw a video of Dan saying that these modules are 75x2, so it is confirmed as other fellow forumers have said.

Maybe? Installers wanting a One-Box solution?
Tough to get more than 75x14s worth out of a wall unless you specify 20 amp service.
BTW, that is plenty of power given 'normal' HT speakers of medium to higher sensitivity and reasonable phase.

It simply doesn't make sense. |

Right, just like (7) of the 300W modules become 200WPC (with the given 15A main). There's still logic in a 2x150 module capability, but they're not building that. If the 75W modules could take advantage of available PS capacity for greater peak power, that would be advantageous. |

105 per channel from 75 continuous is 1.5db headroom. That's gonna be about IT.
don't forget that 10 watts per speaker is going to get LOUD and than you'd still have 10db dynamic headroom.

Just saw this in a CEDIA report, with 11 channels they must be using some of the stereo modules. Maybe they already demo'd these at EmoFest, but it does seem they're getting close (I know they reported "on the boat"). "Dropped in to visit Emotiva here at CEDIA and they were premiering a full on 7.4.4 Dolby ATMOS theater setup that was controlled by their upcoming RMC-1 Reference Processor. Power was provided by one of Emotiva’s modular XPA power amps configured with 11 channels of amplification." Here's the page I was reading: hometheaterhifi.com/features/show-reports-film-festivals-concerts/cedia-2017-show-report-day-1-coverage/ |
