Each channel’s audio passes through a custom transformer, eliminating most ground loops and offering true galvanic isolation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eX2 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eX2 features 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned For Transparency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCustom audio transformer per channel.\u003cbr\u003eRuns on phantom power (each channel requires power).\u003cbr\u003eGround Lift Switch per channel.\u003cbr\u003eThree-position high pass filter on each input.\u003cbr\u003eDefeatable Sum feature merges the Left and Right inputs and sends them to the Left outputs.\u003cbr\u003eExtremely flat frequency response.\u003cbr\u003eExtremely low total harmonic distortion (THD).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThick 3mm extruded aluminum external shell with 5mm ribs for bulletproof protection.\u003cbr\u003eShell awning design protects switches while allowing easy access.\u003cbr\u003eHigh quality long life jacks and switches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn\u003cbr\u003eInput Impedance: 2 MΩ , (when SUM enabled: 4 kΩ)\u003cbr\u003eMax Input Level: +20.5dBu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eXLR Out\u003cbr\u003eOutput Impedance: 100 Ω\u003cbr\u003eGain Relative to Inputs: -20dB\u003cbr\u003eMaximum Output Level: +0.5dBu\u003cbr\u003eNoise Floor: -123 dBu (10-22kHz no A-Weight)\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response:\u003cbr\u003e+\/- 0.25dB, 20Hz – 30kHz (13.6KΩ load, HPF off)\u003cbr\u003e+\/- 0.5dB, 10Hz – 80kHz (13.6KΩ load, HPF off)\u003cbr\u003e+\/- 0.5dB, 20Hz – 20kHz (600Ω load, HPF off)\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response (HPF 80Hz, 240Hz)\u003cbr\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion and Noise:\u003cbr\u003e1kHz: 0.0007% (-10dBu out)\u003cbr\u003e100Hz: 0.0035% (-10dBu out)\u003cbr\u003e50Hz: 0.0125% (-10dBu out)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThru\u003cbr\u003eGain Relative to Inputs: +0dB, (when SUM enabled: -6dB)\u003cbr\u003eOutput Impedance: 0Ω, (when SUM enabled: 1 kΩ)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower Requirements: 5mA @ +48VDC (per channel)\u003cbr\u003ePCH X2 Dimensions: L – 3.66″ (93mm) x W – 4.20″ (107mm) x H – 1.54″ (39mm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strymon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47532947996850,"sku":"ACSTRPCHX2","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0084\/0659\/7712\/files\/a7cc9c2d-dd6c-40d0-9ed3-cc7619e81ab1.jpg?v=1779968878","url":"https:\/\/www.citymusicannex.com\/products\/new-strymon-pch-x2-active-stereo-di-isolater","provider":"City Music Annex","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
