On the digital platform - new technologies have changed the ways audiophiles connect to and enjoy their music. So, that's why Parasound included a new high quality DAC (ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC) in the P6 to widen your software playback options. Not only does in now include support for DSD files and playback, it also has more extensive intuitive drivers and integration for the P6's USB connectivity too. Finally; to increase digital connectivity options a little further - they have also included another optical input as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnectivity on the analogue front with the P6 is in abundance too with a plethora of analogue balanced and unbalanced inputs for a myriad of sources. Most importantly on the 'purest' analogue stage, as turntables are still enjoying a healthy resurgence, Parasound have responded by improving their embedded phono stage to accommodate MM \u0026amp; MC cartridges with a wider choice of load impedances (phono input loading - MM: 38 dB \/ 47 k Ω \u0026amp; MC: 52 dB \/ 47 k Ω or 100 Ω).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beautiful remodeled front panel hosts a brand new volume control section too, featuring both a new Burr Brown analogue resistor ladder volume control coupled with a new ball bearing supported solid aluminium volume knob. In conjunction with these new improvements the volume control now has a digital display alongside programmable settings for turn on volume - or favourites. On the front of the P6 Parasound have reliably (as ever!) kept nice features such as the dedicated 3.5mm auxiliary input, along with treble and bass controls to suit your system requirements - and the front also features the useful dedicated headphone connection as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the P6 has a dedicated sub-woofer channel - with 2 output jacks for dynamic 2.1 listening and seamless integration with your home cinema surround sound system. This attention to detail you see from Parasound in terms of system accomodation also sees the deployment of a balanced XLR sub-woofer output and variable low frequency and high frequency crossovers makes the Halo P6 a highly adept pre-amplifier that really punches above it's weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the fact that the P6 has possibly some of the most extensive feature sets in terms of connectivity and system integration options, at its heart - it is a product that has been designed to perform to the highest sonic standards.

Remember - again the A21+ has the same high bias class A\/AB operation of all John Curl's classics, and also has the benefit of the directly coupled design which means that there are no capacitors or inductors in signal path, which gives the utmost accuracy for the amplifier to work with. This balance of clarity and 'clout' means that it has real dynamic headroom for the best depth of field, aural texture and also finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe A21+ can be used to stunning effect with the Parasound range of pre-amplifiers such as the JC2 BP, JC3+, the new improved P6 or the larger and flexible P7.

As with any Parasound product, internal components are 'selected' and chosen for these key principles, they are just not assembled to meet the lowest common denominator of production criteria. Often 'Class D' amplifiers can be overly clinical and to an an extent unmusical - but the ZM2 excels with deep enveloping performance and very adept dynamics more akin to a class AB amplifier, and yet has the benefits (especially within custom installation) of low heat and low power consumption.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe ZM2 also has a very adaptable dedicated sub-woofer output, so that it can be the perfect amp for high quality installs where 2.1 set up's are required. Building upon connectivity for sub-woofers,the ZM2 also has an in built 80Hz low pass filter in bridged mode which means it is ideal for driving in-wall\/in-ceiling woofers\/passive sub(s). So in effect the ZM2 is a little bit like a 'swiss arny knife' for higher end custom intallation projects, so you can keep everything under one banner effectively - which means that the ZM2 can be called upon at all times to be flexible and yet bullet proof in a host of scenarios.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother highly adaptable feature is the provision of a mono mode, that combines L and R for single speaker applications. This easily overlooked feature means that it can be used highly effectively in corridors, semi commercial installations where stereo imaging is not beneficial and finally a potential 'get out of jail card' for 'compromised' installations too. The ZM2 also features as a consequnce a full range mono RCA output too, so amps can be stacked together and looped together very simply, and with the best level of interconnectivity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis continuance of 'real world'  custom installation credentials can be further seen with automatic on\/off by 12 V trigger (with loop) and also automatic on\/off by audio signal with adjustable sensitivity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLevel controls for each channel are rear mounted and the unit has g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eold-plated RCA input jacks and looping line output jacks.

This increased footprint is not just aesthetic either, this increased size comes with more bang for buck too in true Parasound fashion! The ZM4 will deliver 120 watts of sonically superior audio quality per channel into 8 Ω and up to 150 watts per channel into a 4 (and yes it's high current design even enables powering loads down to 2 ohm as well). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis power and flexibility is of course bridled with deceptively high fidelity, as can be seen in the ZM4's Class AB input stage plus premium Class D power stage - which is of course the key point of any Parasound product. As with any Parasound product, internal components are 'selected' and chosen for these key principles, they are just not assembled to meet the lowest common denominator of production criteria. Often 'Class D' amplifiers can be overly clinical and to an an extent unmusical - but the ZM4 excels with deep enveloping performance and very adept dynamics more akin to a class AB amplifier, and yet has the benefits (especially within custom installation) of low heat and low power consumption.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother highly adaptable feature seen on the rear of the ZM4 is the provision of a mono mode, that combines L and R for single speaker applications. This easily overlooked feature means that it can be used highly effectively in corridors, semi commercial installations where stereo imaging is not beneficial and finally a potential 'get out of jail card' for 'compromised' installations too. The ZM4 also features as a consequnce a full range mono RCA output too, so amps can be stacked together and looped together very simply, and with the best level of interconnectivity. The ZM4 also features a useful 'bus' input if required too for simple cohesive zonal or speaker grouping.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis continuance of 'real world'  custom installation credentials can be further seen with automatic on\/off by 12 V trigger (with loop) and also automatic on\/off by audio signal with adjustable sensitivity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLevel controls for each channel are rear mounted and the unit has g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eold-plated RCA input jacks and looping line output jacks.

The new ZM12 builds on those solid foundations by boosting performance and power, to enable a slightly more dextrous approach and added flexibility required for more demanding installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe power output is upped significantly on this newer model - with zone 1 (Channels 1 \u0026amp; 2) being able to drive 120 watts x 2 @ 8Ω - with the added ability to drive harder at 150 watts x 2 @ 4Ω or 2Ω. This means that a larger zone, or a zone with more demanding floor standing speakers etc. can be easily prioritised to boost performance in a 'critical' listening area. Additionally, the increase is seen across zones 2 to 6 with the ZM12 being able to deliver 60 watts x 10 @ 8Ω 100 watts x 10 @ 4Ω or 2Ω.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis added flexibility means now you can easily and confidently use one product, in a 2U chassis to power all your zones in an installation - ideal for where budgets may be tighter along with rack 'real estate'. Parasound also is renowned for their products almost unconditional stability - and the ZM12 with it's ability to drive very low impedance loads - thanks to the ZM12's robust class D amplification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe ZM12 has A \u0026amp; B speaker outputs per zone - enabling a total of 24 speakers to be connected across your project and any zone can be switched to mono for single speaker applications such as bathrooms and hallways (stereo to mono 'mix-down'). Again, with the ZoneMaster ZM12 flexibility is key - as you can set up each zone for independent turn-off with its own 12v trigger or audio sensing trigger.  The ZoneMaster also has a speaker level input for integrating with AV receivers or existing stereo systems that don't have preamp output jacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis huge level of dexterity, flexibility and power really means that any requirement can be deftly executed for the best of systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Parasound ZoneMaster ZM12 is available in black only (includes rack ears).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eParasound ZoneMaster ZM12 - Twelve Channel Amplifier Features \u0026amp;

The NewClassic 200 PRE now has the Burr-Brown 192kHz-24 bit DAC from the Halo series P 5. As such, the 200 PRE now also boasts USB, Coaxial and Optical digital inputs to fully accomodate this new feature. Alongside the addiiton of the DAC and connectivity options for the digital relam - the 200 PRE also has four analogue inputs, one of which is selectable as a dedicated phono input (MM\/MC - selectable). All inputs also benefit from input level attenuation (source volume offset), accounting for a flexible amount of smoother source integration. Finally, as you would expect - nothing gets in the way of the audio purity internally - as the NewClassic 200 PRE enables pure analogue signal path from input to output.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs you would expect though - the input options are not where things stop.

Obviously, for home 'theatre' integration or more specifically 2.1 integration as well it also hosts analogue bass management with both a dedicated high-pass adjustable crossover and 80Hz low pass subwoofer output. The sub output can also be configured for usage as a dedicated mono output too. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom the fascia of the long and sleek chassis, or you can also access both an auxilliary audio input (that also has 12dB auto gain for front panel AUX to match levels of other sources) and also a dedicated headphone output (has a dedicated headphone amp internally too) if the need be in a more 'HiFi' set up.

Guided by their 34 year reputation for delivering the most 'bang for the buck' in high end audio - they did just that! They chose the best sounding parts and included the most current and useful features to bring you a superior integrated amp with the same performance as their highly acclaimed HALO separates. Their acclaimed P5 inspired its preamp stage and advanced feature set, while its power amp stage employs the same John Curl circuit topology found in the legendary Class A\/AB A21 and A23. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe result of all this hard work resulted in the highly acclaimed HALO integrated (HINT), and the HINT received accolades across the board and won many, many fans across the globe (press and customers alike) - and ultimately raised the bar in the conception of a modern integrated amplifier. In short, the first generation HINT set a new standard for integrated amplifiers...arguably for other proponents to follow.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHowever; Parasound's dedication to the art of creating and updating the 'modern integrated amplifier', meant that it would take only a matter of time before Richard Schram in tandem with the legendary John Curl - naturally evolved the HINT concept to step up yet another level! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eParasound: Developing the HINT 6\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe asked ourselves “Could we develop a next generation Halo Integrated that would not only surpass the finest integrated amplifiers but also outperform higher priced separate preamps \u0026amp; power amps?”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe began by upgrading key parts in the analog preamp circuitry to achieve exceptional sonic transparency.

The transformer has independent secondary windings and this provides more than ample voltage to each channel's power supply under the most strenuous operating conditions. Separate windings for each channel improves stereo imaging by reducing inter-channel crosstalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe HINT 6 uses a total of 40,000uF of Lelon electrolytic filter capacitors to provide a reserve of massive power sufficient to reproduce unrestricted bass.

This provides analog bass management as well as easy integration of subwoofers and stereo speakers. With the HINT 6 crossover network your subwoofer(s) is easily shared by two channel and multi-channel playback. This works in tandem with the Home Theatre Bypass input for a seamless transition whenever you select two channel or multi-channel operation, without any need for reconnecting the subwoofer from the HINT 6 to the AVR and vice versa.

Three years later they introduced the remarkable Parasound Halo JC 3 - which then earned rave reviews from the audiophile press and a legion of vinyl enthusiasts. During the design phase of the original JC 3, Curl had rejected variable load adjustment because potentiometers generally have higher thermal self-noise, which is an anathema to the creation of an ultra low noise phono stage. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe decision to bring the JC 3 to market with limited switched input load impedance choices disappointed some vinyl enthusiasts who consider input load fine-tuning to be essential for certain cartridges. Curl and circuit board designer Carl Thompson eventually consented to a 'redesign' with variable load impedance adjustments, but with these caveats for the potentiometers. The first consideration was that they must comply with stringent performance requirements, and the second key factor was that they must be manufactured by Vishay, a highly-regarded manufacturer of low-noise component parts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCurl and Thompson took this opportunity to make additional performance improvements. Curl has narrowed the spectrum of Johnson\/Nyquist noise in the resistor that loads the input stage. Circuit-board designer Carl Thompson tweaked the phono module board layouts to further optimize every performance parameter. The phono modules copper circuit board traces now have 24 karat gold-plating where each part is soldered to provide exceptional transparency and musical detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs a result of these changes, the MC signal to noise ratio is improved to 87dB, A-weighted. MM gain has been increased slightly to 48dB, while MC gain has been lowered from 68dB to 64dB so that extra-high output MC cartridges won’t cause the JC 3+ to overload the inputs of some line stage preamps or integrated amps. The JC 3+ power supply has also been significantly upgraded with 47 percent larger low-ESD power supply filter capacitors and an 82 percent larger R-core power transformer. This provides much greater current reserves for head-snapping dynamics. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe clever dual mono design (each audio channel is separately enclosed in its own extruded aluminium enclosure) minimises any hint of harmonic distortion and the separate high speed-soft recovery rectifiers, filter caps and voltage regulators for each channel underlay the dedication to maintaining the purest signal retention.

They are very proud of this latest achievement of Parasound engineering in concert with legendary audio equipment designer John Curl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTheir John Curl - designed Halo JC 1 mono block is acknowledged as the ultimate benchmark for amplifier performance and value.

Developing a stereo amplifier in this league was a formidable challenge for Parasound - the kind that they relish. As a consequence - they challenged John Curl to distill the essence of two JC 1 mono blocks into a single chassis stereo amplifier with a more attractive price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs a direct result, Halo JC 5 stereo amplifier is profoundly powerful and supremely musical. John Curl’s signature appears discreetly on its front panel honoring his considerable role in its development. The JC 5 will delight the ears and wallets of serious audiophiles and music lovers alike. With exquisite performance and compelling value, the JC 5 is the new amplifier benchmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJohn Curl has been designing for Parasound since 1989. He was already a legend in the '70s for designing and building mixing consoles for The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. He designed the iconic Mark Levinson JC-2, Vendetta and Constellation phono stages and mic preamps and master recorders for Wilson Audio and Mobile Fidelity. Curl’s inspired designs have earned Parasound world-wide acclaim and our stunning new JC 5 is certain to build on this storied heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat's inside matters!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePower amplifiers must eliminate input stage distortion in order to avoid output stage distortion which is especially irritating to a listener. In typical power amplifiers the input and output stages share the same power supply. When driven hard their output stages’ voltage will sag, dragging down the input stage voltage that’s critical for preventing these distortions. A signature feature of the JC 5 (and JC 1) is a separate independent input stage power supply for each channel that is always 10 volts higher than the output stage voltage. Maintaining input stage voltage prevents distortion even under the most demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh current is essential for uncompromised sound. The JC 5 output (current) stage uses 24 Sanken 15A output transistors, carefully hand-matched for maximum performance. Their 60MHz bandwidth eliminates slew-rate distortion that robs music of its nuances. They operate in pure Class A up to 12 watts per channel, eliminating distortion that blurs music at lower listening levels. Eliminating noise at the input stage is also critical. The JC 5 uses rare Toshiba 2SJ74 J-FETs which are highly coveted for their ultra-low noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEvery part within the JC 5 is carefully chosen for its accuracy, sound quality and long life. Its speaker terminals are new, developed in collaboration with CHK. Their ample size and wide spacing accommodates even the largest gauge speaker wire or spade connectors. High quality 24 K gold-plating on the speaker terminals, input connectors and internal audio signal connections assure sound quality that won’t be compromised by corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe new Parasound JC 5 with it's advanced circuitry, premier parts selection, unequaled sound quality, and stunning design is bound to secure this amplifier a place in audio history!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Parasound Halo JC 5 is available in black and silver finishes - please specify on order.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eParasound Halo Series JC 5 Reference Stereo Amplifier by John Curl - Features \u0026amp;
