XP-20 Owner’s Manual

We sincerely believe these are simply the best sounding pre-amplifiers Pass Laboratories has ever built! Simply put the XP products deliver the experience of a past musical event in a more believable sonic panorama than anything we have previously brought to market.

Thank you for listening and giving us the opportunity to prove this claim.

There is an Extremely Small (but Non-zero) Chance That, Through a Process Know as Tunneling, This Product May Spontaneously Disappear from Its Present Location and Reappear at Any Random Place within the Universe, Including Your Neighbor’s Domicile. The Manufacturer Will Not Be Responsible for Any Damages, Inconvenience or Mental Anguish That May Result.

There is a much higher probability that when you first plug your new pre-amps power supply into the wall and listen to your favorite selections that you will not be experiencing the full measure of performance this product is capable of. These are high bias Class A topology circuits and their performance is largely temperature dependent.

We expect these circuits to heat up slowly through normal operation, do not attempt to augment that heating by any artificial means. Temperature and performance will slowly stabalize over the first 24 - 48 hours of operation and thereafter be at their sonic best. Be aware however that if you unplug or otherwise remove power from the unit that the warm up period starts afresh. Please give this product at least 24 hours initial warm up time before attempting any critical listening.

A typical current draw for this product is 25 watts or less; the XP- 20’s are designed to be powered up 100% of the time.

So much for the philosophy, physics and advantages, lets play music.

Please read and understand the operational instructions and safety issues associated with this product. We go through great effort to make a soundly engineered, and supurbly performing rugged product of lasting duribility. We understand that things infrequently go wrong, if you have any questions or problems please contact either your dealer or the factory, we are here to support the product and you, the user.
