The NC 2125v2 is a stereo power amplifier from Parasound, built into a compact NC-series chassis with substantial output power. The NC 2125v2 brings Parasound's considered engineering to dedicated Class D stereo power amplification.

Key specs that matter

Input sensitivity is 1,000mV, with input impedance at 33,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is 150W into 8 ohms, rising to 225W into 4 ohms. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 114dB, with damping factor exceeding an exceptional 150. At 437 x 406 x 107mm and 12.3kg, the NC 2125v2 maintains a manageable power amplifier chassis reflecting Parasound's considered NC-series engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean amplification reflecting the strong 114dB signal-to-noise figure combined with the exceptional over-150 damping factor, consistent with Parasound's broader considered Class D engineering philosophy.

Pairing

The exceptional over-150 damping factor suits demanding loudspeaker loads with excellent bass control.

Alternatives

Parasound's own NC 2250v2 offers a more powerful alternative within the same broader NC-series catalogue.
