Pass Intros New Xs Amplifier Series
Pass Labs today introduced two new amplifiers ahead of the annual CES show next week in the form of the 300-watt Xs-300 and 100-watt Xs–150.
Part of Pass’s forthcoming Xs-Series of power amplifiers, they both use a double-stacked chassis where the power supply and current source are in one chassis and the input and main output stage are in the other. Pass Labs says the separate power supplies enable lower electromagnetic noise, twice as much storage capacitance as earlier Pass Labs amps, banks of high-speed/soft-recovery rectifiers, improved high-frequency noise filters, bigger and better transformers, improved passive decoupling, massive heat sinks and lower standby currents.
The Xs-300 and Xs–150 Amplifiers will be available in the first quarter of 2012 and will be priced at $85,000 and $65,000 per pair, respectively.
