Warranty Information

All Pass Laboratories products purchased new from an authorized Pass Laboratories dealer in North America are covered by a transferable, limited 3-year warranty.

This warranty includes parts and labor charges incurred at the repair facility. Consequential damages are specifically not covered and damage due to modification or physical abuse is also not covered.

The customer assumes responsibility for shipping and insurance to and from the factory, or a factory specified repair facility.

Non-North American customers should consult with their original Pass Labs dealer or distributor for warranty repair instruction prior to contacting the factory or shipping product for repair. Non- North American product must be returned to the country of origin for warranty service. Foreign distributors are only required to offer warranty service on Pass Laboratories product that they have imported.

Conditions of warranty service and customer rights for product purchased outside the United States may vary depending upon the distributor and local laws. Please check with your local distributor for specific information.

Any modifications to Pass Laboratories products that have not received written factory approval nullify all claims and void the warranty. Should a modified product be returned to the factory for repair the owner will be required to pay all necessary charges for the repair in addition to those charges required to return the product to its original configuration.

In the case of safety issues, no product shall be returned to the customer without those safety issues being corrected to the most recent accepted standards.

Removal or alteration of original Pass Labs serial numbers voids the factory warranty. Product with altered or missing serial numbers will be suspected as counterfeit product. Pass Laboratories will not repair or in any way indemnify any counterfeit or cloned product.

Pass Laboratories does not offer products in voltages intended for international markets either to authorized Pass Labs dealers or to third parties located in the United States or Canada.

XA30.5 Owner’s Manual

Amplifier, 5XA30.5 specifications

Pass Labs has long been synonymous with high-performance audio amplification, and their 5XA30.5 amplifier is a testament to their commitment to quality and engineering excellence. The 5XA30.5 is an exceptional Class A amplifier designed for audiophiles seeking purity in sound reproduction. One of its standout features is its power output; delivering 30 watts per channel into 8 ohms and a doubled output into 4 ohms, it provides ample power for driving a range of loudspeakers with ease.

One of the key technologies employed in the 5XA30.5 is its Class A circuitry. Unlike other amplification classes that switch on and off to produce sound, Class A amplifiers operate continuously, ensuring that the signal remains uncorrupted. This results in a rich, warm sound that faithfully represents the original recording. The design eliminates crossover distortion, a common issue in other classes of amplification, thus enabling the 5XA30.5 to deliver detailed and smooth audio performance, even at lower volumes.

The amplifier's robust construction further enhances its performance. With a fully balanced differential input stage, the 5XA30.5 minimizes noise and distortion, ensuring that the sound remains crisp and clear. The use of custom-designed output transistors offers superior linearity and thermal stability. Additionally, the generous power supply, equipped with a hefty transformer and ample capacitance, allows the amplifier to handle dynamic peaks without strain, preserving the integrity of the audio signal.

Another notable characteristic of the 5XA30.5 is its elegant design. The aesthetics include a minimalist chassis, machined aluminum front panel, and dual meters that provide real-time performance feedback, allowing audiophiles to observe the amplifier’s operation. Furthermore, it features both single-ended and balanced inputs, offering compatibility with a variety of source components.

Importantly, the 5XA30.5 embodies Pass Labs' philosophy of "the art of amplifier design," resulting in a product that not only performs exceptionally well but also maintains a timeless appeal. Whether for critical listening or enjoying music in a relaxed setting, the Pass Labs 5XA30.5 amplifier promises an unparalleled auditory experience, fulfilling the demands of even the most discerning audiophile. In a landscape where many amplifiers prioritize features over fidelity, the 5XA30.5 remains a beacon of true sound reproductions, demonstrating that exceptional quality and craftsmanship can coexist harmoniously.
