    This document summarizes the specifications and features of Parasound's High Current Amplifiers. [1] The amplifiers can output 85 watts RMS x 5 into 8 ohms or 125 watts RMS x 5 into 4 ohms across all channels simultaneously from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. [2] Key features include high bias Class A/AB operation, direct coupling without capacitors or inductors in the signal path, massive power supply capacity, and independent power supplies and protection circuits for each channel. [3] The amplifiers are designed for explosive power output while maintaining uncompromised sound quality for music and home theater applications.
