Pass Labs XS Preamp

This large, dual-chassis preamplifier is built in true dual-mono arrangement. Each channel has its own power supply board with over 100,000uf of capacitance for unfettered transient response. Noise levels have been dropped from the already low-noise XP30. Refined circuit design and layout, new gain-stages with auto-bias and DC compensation all combine for optimal performance. But it all comes down to sound; once you listen to the Xs preamplifier, there is no going back.

Pass Labs XP-30 3 Chassis Reference Preamp

The XP-30 is a three-piece modular preamplifier consisting of one control/power supply chassis and two additional gain chassis each containing analog signals of a single channel. The XP-30 generates less noise, crosstalk and distortion while delivering greater dynamic range, gain, output voltage and output current. But it is the sound, not the technical excellence, that truly makes this a breakthrough instrument.

Pass Labs XP-22 2 Chassis Preamp

The new design uses double shielded low noise toroidal transformers in external supply connected via aviation grade circular connectors using silver over oxygen free copper. The power supply is dual mono with two transformers with lower radiated and mechanical noise. Noise is the most prominent part of THD+N at low levels, so by lowering noise we get better resolution and dynamics.

Pass Labs XP-20 2 Chassis Preamp

With a separate power supply electrically isolating delicate analogue signals in the preamplifier, this cosmetically-matched dual-chassis reference line-stage preamplifier offers significant gains in detail retrieval over the XP-10 without loss of musical soul. How does this translate into the sonic fidelity you really care about? Instruments and voice are presented in a more refined soundstage, and with better spectral balance. Fine nuances and details, which frequently go un-noticed, now become beautifully apparent -- even in loud and highly complex musical passages.

Pass Labs XP-12 Preamplifier

The new XP-12 starts with a new power supply. It uses an efficient toroidal design with both an electrostatic and Mu metal shield along with vacuum impregnating and epoxy fill. This gives us a very quiet transformer both electrically and mechanically.

Pass Labs XP-10 Preamp

Designed with considerable technical improvements over past preamplifiers, the XP-10 showers the listener with a more dynamic sound, cleaner and more accurately delineated bass lines and a greatly refined spatial envelope. Though the current entry-level line-stage preamplifier, this descendant of the highly acclaimed and successful Pass Laboratory's X series preamplifiers sounds and measures significantly better than its predecessors.
