XPA U 758

Published in July-August 2020 Issue

The Extron XPA U 758 is an ENERGY STAR qualified audio power amplifier delivering eight 75 watt channels in a half rack, 1U, convection cooled, plenum rated enclosure that includes rack mount hardware. The XPA U 758 offers unprecedented power and channel density with the ability to install units without using rack spaces for ventilation, conserving precious rack space. It features a highly efficient advanced Class D amplifier design with power factor correction, ultra low inrush current, defeatable auto standby with fast wake up, and our patented CDRS – Class D Ripple Suppression.

The XPA U 758 is reportedly the industry’s first eight channel, half rack amplifier. Since it doesn’t require empty rack spaces for cooling or external transformers, the XPA U 758 can deliver up to eight times the channels in two rack spaces compared to competitive amplifiers. This is made possible by Extron’s advanced thermal engineering, which includes fanless convection cooling, no chassis heatsinks, and Everlast power supplies. The cumulative effect of hundreds of precise design choices enables many XPA U 758 units to be placed in an equipment rack without the need to waste rack space for ventilation above the amplifiers.
