With the ever growing interest in home cinema and the desire not to compromise on sound quality, especially for those systems where the front left and right channels require to be used in high end home cinema systems and have the best stereo reproduction also, Parasound developed a brilliant product in the JC2 BP.

The pedigree of this unit is unparalleled as it uses the exact same circuit design and topology of the JC2 pre-amplifier, meaning that it has only the best quality of components internally to ensure the purest of reproduction. Internally, clarity of thought in design and application is reproduced in the units 3/8" thick aluminium shielding around the audio boards (shielding prevents noise from power supplies & control circuits), and this is followed through with separate output jacks for simultaneous normal & non-inverting polarity - and it ultimately benefits vastly as well from the direct DC servo-coupled design - so there no capacitors in the signal path.

The JC2 BP enables anyone to enjoy the best of both worlds with perfect analogue stereo and a seamless transition to digital surround.
