No electronics. No power. No distortion. Just a 2-way switch and a potentiometer.Huh? Why would you want such a thing? Well, if you've ever wanted to use one of our DACs with powered monitors, Sys puts the volume control right at hand. Same goes for using two sources with one of our headphone amps—use Sys to switch between a DAC and a phono preamp, for example. And, you don't have to use Sys with our gear at all. It's a simple, high-quality, passive preamp that works with pretty much any line-level source.Designed and Assembled in USA By “designed and assembled in USA" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of SYS—chassis, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made minutes from our facility. Our PCBs are done just over the hill from us, or done in NorCal. You get the picture.2-Year Warranty SYS is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labor for two years. That’s 2x the warranty of most of the products in this price range. ## Features - It's a 2-input passive preamp that adds no distortion, and gives you complete volume control. - Works with pretty much any line-level source. - It's just a 2-way switch and a volume knob. That's all. - Designed and assembled in the USA from high quality components. - For those times when you want to switch sources without unhooking one and rehooking up another. Hook them both up to SYS and have full control over which one you're listening to and at what volume. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00K6Q2A4C | | Amplifier Type | Passive | | Best Sellers Rank | #49,292 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #30 in Audio Component Preamplifiers | | Brand | Schiit | | Built-In Media | SYS | | Color | Silver | | Compatible Devices | any line-level source audio devices, including DACs, phono preamps, headphone amps, and powered monitors | | Connector Type | RCA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (356) | | Enclosure Material | Metal, Plastic | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Schiit | | Mfr Part Number | SCH-13-FA | | Model Name | Sys | | Model Number | SCH-13-FA | | Number of Items | 1 | | Output Channel Quantity | 2 | | Power Source | Passive | | UPC | 640265321399 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Schiit - **Color:** Silver - **Item Weight:** 16 ounces - **Material:** Metal, Plastic ## Images ![Schiit SYS Passive Preamp Volume Control and 2-Input Switch (Silver) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zgA+hh63L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do I plug this in after the DAC and before the AMP ? Tks a lot :D** A: Yes, if you're using your computer as a source.The DAC is always the first stop out of the computer -via a USB.(i just read the 4 other responses to you and we all seem to be on the same page.)The thing works fine - like all Schiit (expletive deleted.)i just wish they would have made it able to accommodate a few more devicesEG: I have a computer, a radio tuner, a cd player and a tv. (4 items, nothing extravagant)So , i feed the 2 ' excess' items into the sys via 'y' type rca splitters.i just power off the device that's not in use. seems to work fine, ie, no damage to components.it works, but it's more rube goldberg than it needs to be.the ever-venerable valley churls, given their undisputed brilliance - should have factored in my OBVIOUS complaint before they before they put this thing on their menu.I'm completely sold on Schiit, or this would have been a one line response.later **Q: My integrated amp uses 220volt/60hz electricity, will this be compatible with that condition?** A: Yes. The Sys uses no power. It's essentially a switch/ volume control, so the AC power of your amp should not matter. Hope this helps. **Q: Will it work to increase the line input from an auxiliary source** A: I don't think so. It's essentially a volume control, not an amplifier, so the maximum level is that of the input.Pretty handy, though. **Q: will htis work with a turntable with built in phono pre amp?** A: Yes, it will work with a preamp output. The volume control attenuates the output so you will need to connect this box up to an amp or powered speakers. ## Frequently Bought Together - Schiit SYS Passive Preamp Volume Control and 2-Input Switch (Silver) - Monoprice 1.5ft Premium 2 RCA Plug/2 RCA Plug M/M 22AWG Cable - Black - CESS-075-6i Heavy Duty Waterproof RCA Cable, Phono Male to Male (6 in) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1520976-schiit-sys-passive-preamp-volume-control-and-2-input-switch](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1520976-schiit-sys-passive-preamp-volume-control-and-2-input-switch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
