About the C2

The Parasound C2 is a sophisticated 7.1 channel home theater processor and preamplifier introduced in the early 2000s. It is THX Ultra2 certified and supports Dolby Digital EX, DTS ES, Dolby Pro Logic II surround, and multiple DSP modes including Surround Music and Party. The unit features patented hybrid bass management to prevent time smearing and automatic digital audio and video input selection. It offers nine balanced outputs, two balanced inputs with XLR connectors, eight digital inputs, two digital outputs, and 7.1 analog inputs with a pure analog path that bypasses DSP. Video connectivity includes multiple composite, S-Video, and component/RGB inputs and outputs capable of passing 1080i and 720p signals flawlessly. The C2 includes 100% automatic calibration of channel levels and delay times with a calibration microphone and supports dual zone control with analog audio and composite video outputs. It is fully upgradeable and controllable via a two-way RS-232 port and comes with a universal and learning remote control. The unit is rack mountable with a 3U chassis.
