PARASOUND A52+

Parasound Halo A52+ er en femkanals forsterker til hjemmekinoen.
A52+ er basert på Parasound sin svært vellykkede A52, men med betydelige oppgraderinger i effekt, kretskort og leveres med siste Halo styling.
A52+ øker fra 125 til 180 watt per kanal i 8 ohm og 255 watt i 4 ohm, med alle kanaler drevet!​ Den har en større spesielt utviklet transformator for å støtte den høye effekten. Forsterkeren har fem RCA ubalanserte og fem balansert XLR innganger.
Forsterkeren har et svart anodisert ekstrudert frontpanel med nye faste aluminiums deksler som er malt og håndpolert. Disse representerer en frisk og raffinert Halo-estetikk.
The Halo A 52+ provided all the power that my speakers could handle, and did so with aplomb.

Omtaler av Parasound Halo A52+

The Halo A 52+ provided all the power that my speakers could handle, and did so with aplomb. The soundstage was consistent with no blurring of indi­vidual voices or instrumental details. The new Parasound showed its superiority in more graceful smoothness in the upper midrange and treble, and low bass that seemed better integrated with the upper bass. Overall, I really liked Parasound’s Halo A 52+ in every way.

Listening with the Halo A 52+ in my system was a pleasure. Parasound’s new five-channel amp delivers clear, dynamic sound and has plenty of headroom to handle the explosive effects in movie soundtracks. Stereo and multichannel music also sounded great with the A 52+, making it a versatile all-around performer for entry-level and advanced home theaters alike.

The control and immediacy of the A 52+ made another track shine: “Good on the Ground” by the Vijay Iyer Sextet. In this freeform jazz cut, the saxophone and piano struggle for dominance over a driving layer of standup bass and drums. When I listened with the Parasound and MartinLogan combination, all instruments were distinctly conveyed, and the drums in particular had a muscular presentation. The standup bass seemed a bit softened in attack compared with the sound put out by my reference amp on this track, but overall I was impressed by the bass control I heard with most music.
