Introduction Nelson Pass has been designing audio electronics professionally since about 1971, first with ESS (remember Heil Air Motion transformers?), and then forming a new company, Threshold in 1975. Threshold pioneered the design of high power Class A power amplifiers and later, high power amplifiers using only local feedback (the Stasis series). Pass sold Threshold and created Pass Laboratories in 1991, where he concentrated first on elevating single-ended Class A power amplifiers to

the distortion as identical as possible on both polarities of the balanced output. It is easier to make distortions in the two halves more identical than to remove them with feedback, and this is the operating principle of X amplifiers. Since the X1000, Pass Labs products have continuously evolved toward higher performance. The Class AB “X” series was joined by the Class A “XA” amplifiers. Subsequent improvements to the Class AB “X” amplifiers resulted in the “X.5” products, and their ph

For maximum safety we suggest that the power cord should be the last cable installed on your power-amplifier. You may, if you wish, substitute a 15-amp aftermarket power cord for the one we have supplied. Only use polarized power cords, which meet all local safety standards and carry acceptance marks from the local regulatory authority. The power cord should be attached to the amplifier prior to plugging into house power. Always place the rear-mounted switch in the off (down) position

So the amplifier is sitting there unconnected. Make sure that the rear panel power switch is off (down). Plug the AC cord into the back of the amplifier, and then into the wall. Then turn the power switch on (up). The lights in your house may dim for a moment as the power supply charges the capacitors. Please note that this switch is not a “safety device” or “emergency disconnect” for this product. This switch does not provide personal shock protection in the manner of a ground-fault

Choose either XLR or RCA inputs. If you run both at once on a single input from different components, the sound is not likely to be optimal, but it shouldn’t cause damage anywhere. Now that the source components and loudspeakers are connected into the amplifier; plug the power cord back into the wall, and turn on the rear power switch. Push the front panel power button to activate the amplifier and turn the volume control down (counter clock-wise). The front panel display should now be

We go to a lot of trouble to make products reliable, and the failure rate of our amplifiers is very low. This is small comfort to the few, but take it easy and give us a call if you have problems. People are interested in how long it takes for these amplifiers to break in. Depending on the resolution of the rest of your audio chain, you may or may not notice any break in of the amplifier beyond the first few hours of operation. You will very likely notice the difference in sonic character

Speaker cables should be firmly tightened down at the speaker output terminals, but not with a wrench. Output terminals will not withstand the levels of torque that may be easily applied by wrench. Hand tightening without excessive force is plenty. Cleaning contact surfaces with one of the commercially available electronic contact cleaners should be part of your annual system maintenance. So how long should this hardware last? It is our experience that, barring Product Life abuse or th
