Sonically Transparent Performance

The PCH X2 is engineered to deliver an exceptionally flat and accurate frequency response, ensuring your signal remains true to its source.

From deep low frequencies to extended high-end detail, the unit maintains clarity across a wide range, avoiding the distortion and tonal loss often found in conventional direct boxes.

This makes it ideal for instruments such as bass guitar, where low-frequency integrity is critical, as well as full-range sources like keyboards and playback systems.

Custom Transformer Isolation

Each channel features its own custom audio transformer, providing true galvanic isolation.

This design helps eliminate ground loop issues and reduces unwanted noise, ensuring a clean and reliable signal path in any environment.

Flexible Signal Control

The PCH X2 includes a range of practical features for real-world use.

• Independent ground lift switches for each channel
• Three-position high-pass filter with settings for low-frequency control
• 80 Hz option for reducing rumble
• 240 Hz option for more aggressive low-end shaping

These controls allow you to adapt your signal quickly to suit different stages, rooms and mixes.

Mono and Stereo Versatility

With its built-in Sum function, the PCH X2 can combine stereo inputs into a mono output when required.

This makes it easy to adapt between mono and stereo setups without needing to reconfigure your rig.

A phase reversal switch is also included for additional flexibility when working with multiple signals or complex setups.

Additional Routing Options

A non-buffered Thru output allows you to send your signal to an amplifier or monitor while simultaneously feeding a balanced output to a mixing console or recording system.

This ensures maximum flexibility in both live and studio scenarios.

Built for Professional Use

Constructed from a robust extruded aluminium chassis, the PCH X2 is designed to withstand the demands of touring and regular studio use.

Its compact size makes it easy to integrate into any setup, while its durable construction ensures long-term reliability.
