Great explanation. It would be great to see a balanced Emotiva 2 channel pre amp 👍🏻🔈

Thank you for a great, easy to understand explanation. I have an ERC-3, XSP-1 Gen2 and DR1 monoblocks. So yes, differential referance system. I absolutely love this system.

Great to see you Lonnie! Love the explanation. People need to get their head out of there collected semi summed minds, and watch this. I remember you explaining this me a long time ago. Great timeless explanation. Thank you Lonnie.

This is great Lonnie! Very informative.

Simply Awesome Explanation. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the great explanation of Differential Reference, Lonnie. I learned something new today! Steve

Explained in a none bs way . Thankyou .

I literally sent an email today about this and a couple of hrs later this video is here. I don’t know if this is just Devine timing or an answer to my email. However I appreciate this video all the same. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

Great explanation 👌 👍 That's why I have the dr3

well done, thanks.

In an perfect world that sounds great. But all electronic and all components have it's tolerances and deviations. That means that the signal paths wold be slightly different, the 0 and the 180 path (+/- paths). What will that do at the end of the signalchain? Mayby nothing, but I cant help but wonder. To me balanced makes most sence were it was originally used and necessary, were long signal kables were needed. Like frome a stage, to FOH and back to the amp-racks, of an consert venue.

So I am looking at the HC1s and the DR2 to run my ATC SCM19s. Aside from the power difference because both would be enough power, which choice would be best?

So each channel has 2 complimentary signal paths in it? One channel to handle the inverted wave of the other? 2 devices, either discrete or chip, for each active process operation, e.g. gain, EQ, ... Are analog volume controls used? 2 needed for each of the channels?

Hello Lonnie Than you for a very simple yet detailed explanation. Do you know if the following $7000 amps are fully differential or not.. 1. Parasound JC - 5 2. Michi S5 Thanks

So XPA amps aren't fully balanced internally but XPA-DR are?

HELLO 👋 Emotiva I have MC-700 it's a unbalanced if I used a balance output adopter on a XPA amplifier. Will this improve my the MC-700 unbalanced to balance output adopter? Currently I'm using a Emotiva basx5175 upgrading to XPA amplifier is my dream!😊😊

What Emotiva products are not Differential balanced? Which are?

Are there any plans for Emotiva to make a 2 channel preamp with at least 1 balanced input and balanced preout to pair with the differential 2 channel amp? Love to hear what that would sound like through the T3 towers

Is it true we need a 20 amp circuit for the DR3?

By this logic all you need is a DR amplifier. doesn't matter what precedes it.

Great breakdown, but still all Greek to me 😮

Good explanation, but absolutely the WRONG guy to put on the white board.
