PCH is a stereo active direct interface with a built-in headphone amplifier. It is designed to send a pedalboard's output signal to the line unchanged, and the built-in headphone amp lets you check your own sound at hand.
A stereo pedalboard DI with a headphone amp
A stereo active direct interface with a built-in console-grade headphone amplifier. It sends your pedalboard's output to the line unchanged while letting you monitor your entire rig's sound through headphones.
Headroom for hot pedalboard outputs
Pedalboards put out far hotter signals than a directly connected instrument, easily saturating the input of a typical DI. PCH internally boosts its 9VDC supply to 24V, securing the headroom to handle powerful inputs without clipping.
Stereo monitoring
The built-in headphone amp can drive high-impedance headphones, letting you hear your entire rig in full stereo regardless of pedal configuration. It also works for rehearsing while listening.
I/O built for the field
The two-channel design works in stereo or dual mono. The XLR outputs switch between mic and line level and support ground lift, and the internal power supply uses a galvanically isolated custom transformer to prevent ground loops.
