the front panel.  Input 5 (TAPE IN) is deliberately not available 
through the tape output connection.  The tape input is designated 
for use with a tape recorder if  you have one, and we have arranged 
that it will not place its output on the tape out, which will prevent 
you from accidentally creating a feedback connection with your tape 
machine.
The main outputs are located at the left-hand side (viewed from the 
rear) of the rear panel, two male XLR connectors, and two RCA 
connectors, “R” (right) and “L” (left).  The RCA connectors’ ground 
is in parallel with pin 1 of the XLR outputs and the RCA hot is fed 
from an independent summing junction that maximizes the X circuit 
benefits.  The RCA, single-ended outputs are buffered from the balanced 
outputs.  You may use both the single ended and balanced outputs at the 
same time.  On the XLR, pin 1 is ground, pin 2 is positive, and pin 3 is 
negative.
The rear 5-way binding post can be used to turn on any X series 
power amplifier. 
In application the X2.2’s front panel controls and simple LED 
displays are quite straight forward, and intuitive.  We encourage you 
to become familiar with their operation prior to establishing any 
input connections with this unit. Experience indicates that engaging 
in a few minutes of  exploration and playtime will add much to your 
ultimate enjoyment of  this exceptional Pass Labs product.
The front panel of  the X2.2 has all its control functions moderated 
by five momentary pushbuttons.  From left to right these buttons are 
labeled input, tape, volume (down), volume (up) and mute.
The input button has four associated blue LED’s located directly 
above the input switch.  When the uppermost blue LED is lit it 
indicates that you have selected input number 1.  With an additional 
push of  the input selector button the second uppermost LED will 
be on,  indicating you have selected input number 2.  So it goes, the 
same pattern follows with input 3 and 4.  An additional push of  
the input selection button when you are on input 4 will cycle the 
preamplifier back to input 1.
The second button from the left controls the tape loop, a blue LED 
directly above this switch indicating the status of  this particular 
function.  When the tape loop is active, this LED will be lit. 
Immediately to the right of  the tape loop control are the two volume
