A stereo preamp with HT bypass and both single-ended and balanced inputs.
With six inputs, two of which can be switched from RCA to XLR, and assignable HT bypass the Parasound Halo JC 2 BP brings high-end sound that integrates into living room stereo and cinema setups.
A home theater bypass lets you share your stereo system speakers with your home cinema system. The JC 2 BP offers HT bypass on both unbalanced and balanced inputs and outputs, and it can be assigned to any input.
Dual-mono left and right channel circuits minimize crosstalk, and the preamp is direct DC servo-coupled, no capacitors in the signal path. It uses hand-matched complementary FETs and there are separate TKD brand analog gain controls for the left and right channels.
Premium 4-gang motor-driven analog master volume control offers hi-fi-grade attenuation, and there is 3/8" thick aluminum shielding around audio boards, as well as an aluminum chassis rear panel. All connector and wiring brands are top-shelf: Vampire 24k gold-plated RCA jacks, Neutrik premium XLR connectors, Canare brand internal wiring.
The JC 2 BP uses a high-capacity R-core audio power transformer and inductor with hyper-fast soft recovery audio bridge rectifier diodes. There is an independent power supply for the controller, relay coils, triggers, and LEDs, keeping noise away from audio signals.
