Strymon PCH X2 Stereo Active DI Isolator
The PCH X2 gives your rig a clean, dependable connection to the stage or studio. Built to preserve the sound you worked to create, this stereo active DI brings the depth of a bass, the detail of an acoustic guitar, and the width of a keyboard or pedalboard rig through to the mixing desk.
A custom transformer on each channel provides galvanic isolation, while independent ground lifts help tackle unwanted hum. Switchable low-cut filters let you tame stage rumble or make room in a busy mix. Running a mono setup? The Sum switch brings both inputs together without rearranging your cables, and a left-channel polarity switch gives you another useful tool when combining signals.
Compact enough to tuck into your setup and protected by a rugged aluminum enclosure, the PCH X2 is an easy piece of gear to leave connected and rely on, from rehearsals and club stages to recording sessions.
