Description
Strymon PCH X1 – Active DI Isolator
The PCH X1 active direct interface was engineered to deliver uncompromising transparency and professional signal integrity. Many direct boxes introduce unwanted coloration, distortion or poor low-frequency performance. The PCH X1 was designed to eliminate these problems and provide an exceptionally clean and reliable audio path.
Powered by phantom power and featuring a custom audio transformer, the PCH X1 ensures true galvanic isolation while maintaining an extremely flat frequency response from 10 Hz up to 80 kHz. This guarantees accurate reproduction of even the deepest bass signals and the most detailed transients.
Its compact and rugged 3 mm extruded aluminum enclosure protects the electronics in demanding environments, whether on loud live stages or in high-end recording studios.
