Reviews
"And you can tell everyone at Parasound that we are super impressed by the 4 DAX as it transforms a commercial setup combined with several Sonos connects and a Parasound ZoneMaster 450, 650 or 1250. The sound is obviously much more clear, dynamic and involving in these challenging environments..."
