Pass XP12

This demo Pass Labs XP-12 is an excellent opportunity to get a modern Pass preamp in excellent condition and with attractive pricing. The XP-12 is known as a special musical, silent and transparent line preamplifier, which plays both dynamic and refined.

 

The XP-12 is built around the latest generation of Pass input modules, with optimized power supply and discrete low-feedback topology. The result is a preamplifier that does not impose itself, but facilitates the musical power with precision and flexibility. Instruments and voices are released and of course separate from the loudspeakers, with surprising texture and spatial stability.

 

In combination with the XA series power amplifiers (e.g. XA30.8, XA60.8 or XA100.8) forms the XP-12 a seamless match, but also with high-quality solid-state or pipe end stages it retains its transparency, control and musical balance.

 

This demo XP-12 has played few hours, is technically and cosmetically very neat, and comes with original accessories and packaging. Ideal for those looking for a modern pass preamplifier without going to new prices.

 

Highlights of this demo set:

• Musical and neutral line preamp

• Transparent, silent and dynamic display

• Discrete low-feedback topologie

• Excellent match with Pass XA and X series power amplifiers

• Demo little played, excellent condition

• Complete with original packaging and documentation

 

The Pass Labs XP-12 is a preamplifier that adds nothing and leaves nothing out, but presents the recording with peace, finesse and authority. A particularly elegant Pass preamp with a very mature tone character.
