Power amplifiers stereo — Parasound NC 275v2

The NC 275v2 is a stereo power amplifier from Parasound, sitting below the NC 2125v2 with more modest output power. The NC 275v2 brings Parasound's considered engineering to an accessible Class D stereo power amplification format.

Key specs that matter

Input sensitivity is 800mV, with input impedance at 33,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is 90W into 8 ohms, rising to 150W into 4 ohms - more modest than the NC 2125v2's 150W/225W. Signal-to-noise ratio is 110dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.35% at 100% global feedback. Damping factor exceeds an exceptional 150. At 437 x 406 x 63mm and 9.1kg, the NC 275v2 maintains a compact, accessible power amplifier chassis within the NC-series catalogue.

Sound and use context

Expect surprisingly clean amplification reflecting the strong 110dB signal-to-noise figure, representing accessible value within Parasound's broader NC-series Class D engineering philosophy.

Pairing

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

Alternatives

Parasound's own NC 2125v2 offers a more powerful alternative within the same broader NC-series catalogue.
