The Pass Labs Xs Pre 2 is a state-of-the-art reference preamplifier featuring an ultra-low-noise, three-chassis architecture designed to completely isolate sensitive audio circuits, power supply regulation, and control systems. Operating with high Class A bias in its output stages, it delivers exceptionally low residual noise (<15 µV) and negligible harmonic distortion (≤0.001% THD @ 1 V), establishing an extraordinarily dark background and true-to-life dynamic contrasts. Providing 10.5 dB of balanced gain with low output impedance (30 Ω RCA, 60 Ω XLR), it ensures effortless drive and ideal matching with any power amplifier. Weighing 85 lbs across its three chassis and drawing 110 Watts, the Xs Pre 2 sets an ultra-refined benchmark for transparency, spatial realism, and signal purity.
