Pass Labs XP-12 Preamplifier

Description

Power Supply Design

The new XP-12 features an efficient toroidal power supply design with electrostatic and Mu metal shielding, vacuum impregnation, and epoxy fill, ensuring quiet operation both electrically and mechanically.

Noise Reduction and Filtering

The power supply circuitry incorporates advanced filtering and lower noise components, enhancing overall performance with reduced electrical interference.

Advanced Volume Control

Utilizing a single-stage volume control from the XS line preamp, the XP-12 offers precise adjustment with one hundred 1 dB steps, minimizing noise and distortion by simplifying the signal path.

Enhanced Gain Circuitry

The XP-12 employs high-quality Toshiba transistors and a larger, higher biased output stage akin to the XS preamplifier, enabling robust performance for longer cable runs and simplifying the single-ended output circuitry. This results in a quieter, more neutral, and musically engaging control center for your audio system.
