Pass Labs - XP-22 - Reference Preamplifier

The XP-22 is the quiet force behind a truly high-end system, delivering low noise, exceptional resolution, and transparency that never feels harsh or clinical. Rather than coloring the sound, it allows your source components and amplifiers to perform at their full potential with a natural, effortless presentation.

Its dual-chassis design helps create a wide, stable soundstage with impressive low-level detail and realism. Music feels more open and present, while backgrounds remain calm and silent, giving instruments and vocals room to breathe naturally within the recording.

The XP-22 excels at creating believable depth, precise imaging, and smooth note decay—especially with acoustic music and highly resolving systems. If your goal is a preamplifier that disappears into the system while revealing more of the performance itself, the XP-22 is built to do exactly that.

Available in Silver or Black finishes.
