Parasound Halo Amplifier

THX Ultra2 certification guarantees that this amplifier meets rigorous standards for power output, distortion levels, and thermal stability. Essentially, it ensures the amplifier can handle the high-volume, dynamic demands of a large home theater room without compromising sound quality or reliability.

Yes, the Halo 3-channel amplifier is equipped with both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs. This gives you the flexibility to connect it to a wide range of pre-amplifiers or processors depending on your existing equipment.

Operating in high bias Class A/AB allows the amplifier to run in pure Class A mode at lower power levels, which provides the smooth, detailed sound characteristic of Class A designs. As power demands increase, it seamlessly shifts to Class AB to deliver the high-wattage output needed for loud, complex passages without distortion.

Absolutely. With a robust 1.5 kVA toroid power transformer and 400 watts per channel into 4 Ohms, this amplifier is designed to handle demanding speaker loads with ease. It maintains stability and control even when speakers dip into lower impedance ranges.

Yes, it includes an auto turn-on feature that can be triggered by either a 12V signal from your processor or by detecting an incoming audio signal. This allows the amplifier to power up and down automatically with the rest of your system.

This is a substantial piece of equipment weighing 65 lbs, so ensure your rack shelf is rated for the weight. It occupies a 4U rack space and measures 7.63 inches high, 17.5 inches wide, and 19.13 inches deep, so you will need to account for adequate ventilation around the chassis.
