The XP-22 measures spectacularly well — but it really stands out sonically. The new design uses double-shielded low noise toroidal transformers in an external supply connected via aviation-grade circular connectors using silver over oxygen-free copper. The power supply is dual mono with two transformers with lower radiated and mechanical noise. Noise is the most prominent part of THD+N at low levels, so by lowering noise, better resolution and dynamics are achieved.
The gain circuitry continues to use our favorite transistors from Toshiba but has a larger, higher biased, output stage like the Xs Preamp, and includes auto bias.

The new design uses double-shielded low noise toroidal transformers in an external supply connected via aviation-grade circular connectors using silver over oxygen-free copper. The power supply is dual mono with two transformers with lower radiated and mechanical noise. Noise is the most prominent part of THD+N at low levels, so by lowering noise we get better resolution and dynamics.
The gain circuitry continues to use our favorite transistors from Toshiba but has a larger, higher biased, output stage like the Xs Preamp, and includes auto bias.
The larger output stage makes longer, and multiple cable runs easier to drive and gives us the advantage of simplifying our single-ended output circuitry while increasing performance.
The volume control is a single stage instead of two stages and has more range; it is quieter and more accurate. This is the same volume control as used in the XP-30.
Overall this makes for a quieter, more neutral, musical, and versatile control center for your system.
The XP-22 measures spectacularly well — but it really stands out sonically.
The power supply circuitry itself is also lower noise and has additional filtering, a little more complicated but worth it.
The XP-22 uses the single-stage volume control borrowed from the XS line preamp. This gives Pass Labs one hundred 1 dB steps with lower noise and distortion while removing some signal path parts.
The gain circuitry continues to use Pass Labs' favorite transistors from Toshiba but has a larger higher biased output stage similar to the XS preamplifier auto bias. This makes longer and multiple cables run easier to drive and gives them the advantage of simplifying their single-ended output circuitry while increasing performance.

1. Leave it on or turn it off: The product is designed to be left on all the time. The exception to this might be a case where the preamp will not be used for an extended time - in that case it can be turn off.
2. Cleaning: The finish can be damaged by harsh cleaners and abrasive cloths. We find a damp soft cloth works best. You can also use a mild solution of windex or white vinegar but be careful to avoid the acrylic window. The acrylic window should only be cleaned using “plastic cleaner & polish”.
3. Remote batteries: The two AAA batteries should be replaced every six months at least. The batteries are located under the remote back. This is held in place with four 4-40 phillips fl at head screws. Please note the polarity of the batteries, putting them in wrong could cause damage.
4. Replacing the fuse: The fuse should only be replace with the same type and size as indicated on the rear. Audio Specialty FUSE: NOTE: The “Overload” and “Time Delay characteristics” will differ slightly (due to the different metallurgy of the fuse elements) between commercial grade and audio grade fuses. We can’t guarantee that your audiophile grade fuse, won’t blow at a different in-rush current threshold, than your stock commercial fuse. Use of other than approved fuses, may invalidate your product warranty and result in product damage.
