Executive Overview
Pass Laboratories exhibited its
high-end XP-10 and XP-20 2-channel preamplifiers which feature Pass Labs
signature beveled billet aluminum front panels. Building upon the XP-10, the
XP-20 upgrades to an isolated power supply to further enhance its performance.
Both the XP-10 and XP-20 are housed in sleek chassis of brushed aluminum,
measuring 17 inches wide by 12 inches deep by 4 inches high. The XP-20 has a
second matching chassis for its external power supply, which can be turned on
using the remote control. Both preamps furnish two balanced and three
single-ended inputs. Like all Pass Laboratories designs, these products
minimize the number of components and stages in the signal path, a design
choice that is intended to reproduce the purist fidelity possible.
