Strymon PCH-X2 Stereo Active DI Isolator

The Strymon PCH-X2 Stereo Active DI Isolator is a high-end, studio-grade interface designed to deliver an ultra-clean, noise-free connection between pedalboards, instruments, and professional audio systems. Built for demanding live and recording environments, it ensures your tone reaches a mixing console, audio interface, or FRFR system exactly as intended—without coloration, hum, or signal degradation.

Engineered with precision transformer isolation and ultra-wide bandwidth circuitry, the PCH-X2 maintains an exceptionally flat frequency response from sub-bass depths to ultrasonic range, making it ideal for everything from guitar and bass to synthesizers and full stereo pedal rigs. Its active design provides enormous headroom, allowing even complex, high-output pedalboards to pass through without distortion or clipping.

Designed as a true stereo solution, the PCH-X2 offers independent left and right channels with comprehensive routing and control options, making it equally suited for simple mono setups or elaborate stereo performance rigs. It also integrates practical real-world tools for stage and studio use, including ground lift switches, phase correction, filtering options, and flexible summing capabilities.

Features

• High-performance stereo active DI and line isolator for pristine signal transfer in live and studio environments
• Ultra-wide frequency response (10 Hz – 80 kHz) for full-range, transparent audio reproduction
• Dual-channel transformer isolation for eliminating ground loops and reducing noise with true galvanic isolation
• Independent left and right channels for full stereo rig compatibility or dual mono operation
• Per-channel ground lift switches to eliminate hum and interference on stage or in the studio
• Phase inversion control (left channel) for correcting polarity issues in complex stereo setups
• Summing mode (mono/stereo switchable) allowing instant stereo-to-mono conversion without rewiring
• Selectable high-pass filtering (80 Hz / 240 Hz) for tightening low-end or carving space in a mix
• Non-buffered thru outputs for sending signal simultaneously to amps, monitors, or additional effects chains
• Ultra-low distortion, high-headroom active circuitry for handling powerful pedalboard output levels cleanly
• Compact, road-ready aluminium chassis built for touring durability and studio reliability
• Phantom-powered operation (+48V per channel) for simple integration with professional audio systems

The PCH-X2 is designed as a “last stop” utility device in a modern rig—especially for players running stereo effects, amp modelers, or complex pedalboards. It preserves every detail of your tone while solving real-world problems like ground noise, phase issues, and inconsistent stage monitoring, making it a dependable bridge between your pedalboard and any professional audio system.
