Thank You for your BPA-1 Purchase

Dear Home Entertainment Enthusiast,

Thank you for purchasing the Emotiva BPA-1 Power Amplifier. We sincerely believe that it offers you outstanding performance and value. Emotiva products are engineered and produced with the high- est quality materials and incorporate the latest technology. We think you will find the Emotiva BPA-1 meets or exceeds your expectations.

The Emotiva BPA-1 is specifically designed for multi-channel home theater applications. Due to its excellent size to power ratio and stereo/mono capability, it can fit into any application. It is ideal for driving second zone speakers and passive subwoofers.

The narrow width chassis is designed for convenient shelf or system rack mounting. These units will fit in the space that one stereo component amplifier normally would use. As such, it allows you to use one BPA-1 amplifier as left and right stereo front speakers, a second BPA-1 amplifier used as left and right (surround) speakers and a third BPA-1 amplifier used for center channel. Full range bridge mode capability allows the use of the two channels connected together to form one high power ampli- fier channel, providing 100 watts into 8 Ohm minimum load to something like a center channel (with a single BPA-1) or a discrete left and right setup (with two BPA-1’s).

The BPA-1 can also be configured for use as a subwoofer amplifier with an adjustable electronic crossover. With crossover switch in the OFF position it is a full range amplifier, but when switched to LOWPASS, it will function as a subwoofer amplifier.

The power ratings for the Emotiva BPA-1 Power Amplifier are obtained using industry standardized measurements and Emotiva’s own rigorous QC pass/fail testing process. The Emotiva BPA-1 Power Amplifier has been specially designed to drive any modern loudspeaker system with a rated nominal impedance of at least 4 Ohms.
