FRANKLIN, TN — Emotiva Audio Corporation, the company whose passion for impeccable sound is manifested in every product bearing its name, today announced the immediate availability of the XSP-2 Differential Reference® Stereo Preamplifier, an update of its acclaimed XSP-1 model.
The XSP-2 (SRP: $1,599.00) is a fully differential, fully balanced analog stereo control center. Created as an all-things-to-all-people preamp, the XSP-2 features fully balanced bass management for 2.1 or 2.2 systems, with high-pass and low-pass choices at 40, 60, 80, or 100 Hz, plus stereo or summed mono subwoofer outputs.
An on-board MM/MC phono section provides a clean and easy hook-up for any turntable, and a dedicated headphone output with a current-mode feedback amplifier that drives demanding headphones with ease. And, its external processor loop and Home Theater Bypass allow for seamless integration with mixed media systems, making it the perfect match for nearly any source or amp on the market.
“The XSP-1 is one of the most popular products in the history of the brand,” says Dan Laufman, President, Emotiva Audio Corporation. “It’s famous for being a highly flexible preamp that performs well above its price.
“After years of focused R&D, we’re finally ready to launch a worthy successor that retains the sonic benefits that made the original a hit, but with added flexibility across the board.”
The XSP-2 improves upon the original with expandability, thanks to two rear panel expansion slots, and it ships with a fully balanced ESS based DAC module installed, adding inputs for HDMI-ARC, USB, coax, and optical inputs. Specially designed shielding keeps the digital section isolated from the pure analog signal path.
A fully balanced (two-signal, noise-rejecting) layout lowers noise and preserves detail. Voices are lifelike, bass stays tight, and dynamics feel effortless.
Adds Mr. Laufman: “The XSP-2 is not only a best-in-class preamp for today’s consumers, but it’s also ready for whatever comes next, including a streamer module that is currently in the works. When it launches, all it will take is a few easy steps to add it to the XSP-2.”
