Parasound Z-Pre Brochure

Z Series Specialty Components

A fully-featured mini A/V preamp with remote

control. The Z-pre breaks through the bulkiness

barrier to provide all a preamp should: separate bass

and treble controls, four pairs of audio inputs,

priority switching, video switching, DC triggering,

control of our Z-series mini-tuner (the TDQ-150),

and even RS-232 control for home systems. Check

the impressive specs, and ignore the disgruntled

mutterings of lumbering prehistoric preamps – this

mini is mega where it counts!

What is Parasound's Z-Series? It's the highest-

fidelity set of matched miniatures available today.
