The Ultimate High-Performance Mono Power Amplifier

The JC1+ represents the pinnacle of Parasound's engineering, delivering exceptional performance for the finest loudspeakers and surpassing even the most expensive competitors. This masterpiece was developed by Parasound’s renowned design team, led by legendary audio designer John Curl—the "JC" behind critically acclaimed models like the JC1, JC2BP, JC3+, and JC5.

Powerful and Precise Performance

The JC1+ is the result of five years of intensive design and testing, achieving advancements in every respect over the iconic JC1. With power ratings of 450 watts RMS into 8 ohms, 850 watts RMS into 4 ohms, and 1,300 watts RMS into 2 ohms, alongside a peak current capability of 180 amperes, the JC1+ brings your speakers to life. The first 25 watts are delivered in pure Class A, ensuring an exceptional listening experience.

Even More Impressive Than Its Predecessor

Building upon the success of the original JC1, the JC1+ is 30% heavier, with a 2.4kVA main power transformer that’s 26% larger. This increased capacity, alongside a 50% greater main power supply filter, provides effortless handling of demanding music. The JC1+ boasts 33% more Sanken high voltage/high current output transistors, producing a commanding, dynamic sound that immerses you in the music.

Sonic Refinement Beyond Measurement

While technical specifications show the JC1+'s power, its sonic refinement is something that must be experienced. This level of detail, clarity, and emotional resonance is instantly recognizable to the discerning listener.

Exclusive Technology for Superior Sound

The JC1+ incorporates Bybee Music Rails™ to eliminate power supply noise, resulting in sound that is remarkably authentic to the source. Its independent ± 112V input stage power supply keeps the input stage voltage stable, regardless of output demands, avoiding distortion common in most amplifiers. Additionally, a custom R-core transformer filters out noise from the AC power line for pristine sound quality.

Uncompromising Component Quality

Parasound selected only the finest materials for the JC1+. The input/driver circuit board is made from FR408, a material used in supercomputers and aerospace for its superior high-frequency performance. Premium REL capacitors, immune to vibrations, and 24k gold-on-gold internal connectors ensure unmatched signal purity and durability.

Additional Features for Superior Performance

  • Fast-start bias circuit for optimal sound within minutes of power-on
  • Bias level selector for cooler operation without performance sacrifice
  • Two-position gain switch for compatibility with various preamps and speakers
  • Staggered turn-on delays for powering multiple units without electrical overload
  • Gold-plated Neutrik balanced XLR and Vampire RCA connectors for seamless connections
