Buletproof Real-World Features
Along with pristine audio, PCH X1 and X2 were designed with a host of real-world features that make them ideal as direct interfaces and line isolators. Housed in a bulletproof 3mm extruded aluminum chassis for protection, it doesn’t matter if you’re using them on a loud stage or in a quiet world-class recording studio, X1 and X2 balance your audio perfectly – and they’re small enough to fit just about anywhere.
Versatile Performance
X2 is really two X1’s in the same enclosure, so their audio performance and behavior are largely identical. Each channel’s audio passes through a custom transformer, eliminating most ground loops and offering true galvanic isolation. Each unit also features a ground lift switch per channel to combat hum, as well as a three position high pass filter that allows you to roll off low frequencies at two different points: 80Hz for taming rumble, and 240Hz for more dramatically carving out space in the mix for low frequencies on other instruments.
Reversal & Sum Switching
X2 features a phase reversal switch for reversing the polarity of the left XLR output, as well as a Sum switch that sums the inputs together and passes them to the left outputs (the right XLR output mutes to let you know Sum is engaged), allowing you to interface with both mono and stereo scenarios on the go without having to rewire anything.
Thru Output
Both the X1 and X2 feature a non-buffered Thru output in addition to the balanced XLR out, allowing you to feed the input signal to an additional device like an onstage monitor or instrument amplifier separately from the balanced output.
- - PCH X2 is really two PCH X1s in the same enclosure for nearly identical audio performance
- - Both feature a custom audio transformer per channel
- - Both run on phantom power (each channel requires power)
- - Defeatable Sum merges the Left and Right inputs and sends them to the Left outputs (X2 only)
- - Ground Lift Switch per channel
- - Three-position high pass filter per channel
- - Extremely flat frequency response
- - Low total harmonic distortion (THD)
- - Thick 3mm extruded aluminum shell with 5mm ribs for bulletproof protection
- - Shell awning design protects switches while allowing easy access
