How do X3R, X3SR, and X6R headstages differ?

The X3R is an ultra-small headstage supporting 32ch or 64ch of high-speed neural recording.  The X3SR is electrical stimulation-capable with 32ch per chip and up to 64ch can be configured per headstage. The X3 line has a base dimension of 8.5x8.5x5mm.


X6R is designed for an even higher channel count of experiments and starts at 128ch with a base dimension of 10x10x5mm. It can be configured and customized to drive up to 448ch with a single cable. Contact us if you are interested in such a configuration.


Under the hood, the X3R is powered by the Intan RHD2132, the X3SR is powered by the Intan RHS2116, and the X6R is powered by the Intan RHD2164.
