Pass Labs XP-10 owner manual

XP-10 Owner’s Manual

Pass Laboratories has redesigned the remote control to allow direct access to the most frequently wanted control functions, thus simplifying and enhancing product operation. The new remote control codes have been carefully selected to minimize the impact on other remote controlled electronic devices, allowing for more carefree product placement. Volume control steps on the new pre- amplifiers are more numerous and generally of smaller increments, giving the listener a wider choice of listening levels to better accommodate the wildly-fluctuating levels of current, verses legacy, recordings.

Changing lifestyles dictate that many audiophiles now share family space where music may be an adjunct to other activities. To better serve the needs of these listeners, these new pre-amplifiers allow for significantly more precise volume steps and greater attenuation at the very lowest volume levels.

So that these very low-volume listening levels have real world practicality, the noise floor and very fine detail retrieval of these new pre-amplifiers is dramatically superior to our previous product.

Frequently, the perception of increased detail comes at the cost of equally increased grain or edginess in the music. With this new pre- amplifier, hundreds of hours of thoughtful listening and careful adjusting have produced a product where the enhanced detail simply comes through as greater spatial refinement and dynamic accuracy; without any loss of musicality. Bass definition is better than in pervious models, highly dynamic passages typically have more weight, a more accurate leading edge with increased control and the spectral balance is more finely integrated top to bottom.

We sincerely believe these are the finest pre-amplifiers Pass Laboratories has built to date, without question!

Thank you for your purchase of the XP- 10.
