The Pass Labs XP-22 is a dual-chassis, fully analog stereo line preamplifier with a separate power-supply chassis. It provides five stereo inputs—two balanced XLR inputs and three single-ended RCA inputs—plus a single-ended RCA tape loop. Outputs include one balanced XLR pair and two single-ended RCA pairs. The XP-22 uses Pass Labs’ Super-Symmetry circuit design, Class A operation, and a remote-controlled attenuator, with a 12-volt trigger for compatible equipment. It is a line-level preamplifier and does not include a phono stage.
