If you disregard all of the technical mumbo jumbo it just boils down to this: the audio running through your direct box is often being treated poorly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur phantom-powered and transformer-isolated \u003cstrong\u003ePCH X1 (mono)\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eX2 (stereo)\u003c\/strong\u003e active direct interfaces are di\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eerent. Designed to be pristine-sounding before any other feature, these are units that you can trust implicitly to handle your audio, no matter what kind of signal it is. Other direct boxes can distort low frequencies to the point where a low B on a bass guitar barely resembles the input, but the PCH X1 and X2 remain flat from far lower than that (10Hz) to well above what dogs can hear (80KHz) within a half of a db, as well as remaining clean and quiet throughout that range. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature Rich \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlong with pristine audio, PCH X1 and X2 were designed with a host of real-world features that make them ideal as direct interfaces and line isolators. Housed in a bulletproof 3mm extruded aluminum chassis for protection, it doesn’t matter if you’re using them on a loud stage or in a quiet world-class recording studio, X1 and X2 balance your audio perfectly - and they’re small enough to fit just about anywhere. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eX2 is really two X1’s in the same enclosure, so their audio performance and behavior are largely identical.
