Radial X-Amp Active Re-Amplifier with Class-A Signal Path and Ground Loop Elimination

The Radial X-Amp Active Re-Amplifier is a versatile, professional-grade audio tool designed to enhance the re-amping process in recording studios. Re-amping involves taking a previously recorded direct guitar or bass signal and sending it back through amplifiers, pedals, and other effects, allowing musicians and engineers to experiment with different tones and effects after the initial performance is captured. The X-Amp is a purpose-built device that allows you to seamlessly re-amp audio signals with full fidelity, clarity, and minimal noise.

The Radial X-Amp is a fully active re-amplifier featuring a Class-A signal path, which ensures optimal sound quality and low distortion. Designed for studio engineers and professional musicians who seek to experiment with sound without compromising the integrity of the original recording, the X-Amp makes it easy to achieve high-quality results during the re-amping process.

Re-amping has become a standard practice in modern recording, allowing guitarists and bassists to record clean, direct signals while retaining the flexibility to adjust the tone later in the process. The X-Amp is the key to unlocking this creative potential, providing a transparent, noise-free signal that is fed back into amplifiers and effects with perfect accuracy.

The X-Amp utilizes a Class-A signal path to ensure the cleanest, most transparent signal possible. This results in ultra-low distortion and pristine audio quality, preserving the integrity of the original performance while sending it back through amplifiers and pedals.

The X-Amp offers two isolated outputs that allow you to drive multiple amplifiers or effects chains simultaneously. This feature provides more flexibility when experimenting with different tonal options, letting you split your signal and send it to different amplifiers without experiencing signal degradation or noise.

One of the most important features of the X-Amp is its ability to eliminate ground loop hum. Ground loops are a common issue when re-amplifying signals, often causing unwanted noise in the signal chain. The X-Amp comes equipped with a ground lift switch that helps isolate and eliminate hum, ensuring a clean and noise-free signal.

The front panel features a variable output level control, allowing users to adjust the signal strength sent to the amplifiers. This ensures that the re-amplified signal can be fine-tuned to match the input sensitivity of the connected equipment, avoiding distortion or unwanted clipping.

The X-Amp accepts a balanced line-level input from any pre-recorded audio source, making it compatible with virtually any recording device or DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). This flexibility means that you can re-amp signals from various sources, including analog tape machines, audio interfaces, or digital workstations.

Both amplifier outputs are transformer isolated, which helps prevent noise and interference that can occur when connecting multiple devices in a complex setup. The isolation transformers maintain signal integrity and provide optimal impedance matching for professional audio applications.

Built with the durability Radial is known for, the X-Amp features a 14-gauge steel chassis that ensures it can withstand the rigors of professional use. The rugged design protects the internal components from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), while also standing up to the physical wear and tear of daily studio or stage use.

The X-Amp is designed to be both compact and portable, measuring 5.75" x 4.5" x 2" and weighing just 1.6 lbs. Its small size makes it easy to transport, whether for live use or in a studio environment where space is often at a premium.

The X-Amp is ideal for studio engineers, producers, and musicians who want to experiment with tone and effects without being locked into a single sound during the recording process. Common applications include:
