Emotiva home entertainment systems shake up the UK

Karma AV is bringing a new specialist AV brand, Emotiva,  to the UK that promises outstanding performance and price. Karma AV’s Emotiva range includes the state-of-the-art ‘X-Series’ comprising AV processor, audiophile balanced preamp/monoblocks, compact phono preamp and a two-to-seven channel Class A/B modular amplifier, together with a competitive mid-market ‘BasX’ line of  processor, multiple pre/power combinations, CD Player/transport and multi-zone amp.

Emotiva has used its considerable experience in designing for other brands to identify and remove manufacturing inefficiencies while applying its expertise to deliver a compelling blend of high performance and value for money. The result brings enhanced access to favourite music and films for a much reduced outlay, creating a peerless blend of amazing audio, video and price.

Commenting on the introduction Karma’s Ian Severs said, “We’re aiming Emotiva at discriminating film and music fans looking for genuine high-end quality at entry-level prices. Emotiva delivers excellence in every measure combined with jaw-dropping value, and therefore offers AV lovers the perfect lower cost upgrade path.”

One of the features that sets Emotiva out from the crowd is its commitment to testing products thoroughly. Using top quality Audio Precision equipment, the company tests amps with all channels driven. For example, the XPA-5 is rated at 200 WPC into 8 ohms. This means that it produces 200 WPC with all channels running and driven to the limits, continuously, for the duration of the test.

Today's audio systems are complex. Surround sound requires costly test and development gear to keep up with changing standards, and even power amps need microprocessor control to ensure highest performance and longest life. Emotiva makes the investment in equipment, design, and staff to ensure we can create great, modern components. At the same time, the company's dedicated engineers are recognised leaders in their fields—and they are part of a complete user experience team who create the overall system with thoughtful design, intuitive ergonomics, superior ease of use, and exceptional performance and reliability.
