Heat and Ventilation - These amplifiers consume a lot of power (around 1000 watt for the Xs 300 & around 500 watts for the Xs 150) and most of this is converted it into heat. Pick a location where the amplifier can get some fresh air to remove the heat.

Operation - After connection you can turn the amplifier on via the breaker and switch on the power supply front panel or by placing a positive voltage on the remote turn on terminals on the back of the power supply. The power supply LED will light up, the meter will light up, and the meter will slowly move to near the center position of the dial.

Comments by Pass It seems like yesterday..No, actually it seems like eighteen years ago that I got a patent on the “Super-Symmetric” circuit. That’s actually a pretty long commercial run for an amplifier design - how many do you know that are still on the market after that much time?

so at a lower current level. This improved the performance at low power levels, but allowed the higher dynamics afforded by balanced push-pull operation at higher power levels. This approach was so successful that we naturally looked to a greatly expanded version for the Xs amplifiers.

Class A bias setting, you will see the needle bounce upwards. I think though, that the Xs amplifiers will set a new standard for musical reproduction. Nelson Pass 3/19/2012 nelson@passlabs.com Xs Owner’s Manual...
