Parasound is a San Francisco based manufacturer of high-end audio and custom installation components

At Blue Smoke Entertainment Systems, we are certified to represent Parasound's premium brand of high-end audio and video components, Halo by Parasound. With attractive silver-finish front panels and upgraded audio circuitry, Halo by Parasound provides a design-conscious step-up from the company’s ongoing traditional product line, known as Parasound Classic.

The Halo series incorporates professional audio technologies such as fully-differential balanced circuits with XLR type connectors. It also follows and refines proven Parasound design elements like the use of pure Class A JFET input and MOSFET driver stages, DC servos to eliminate capacitors in the signal path, and the use of Class A/AB power amplifiers that operate Class A at virtually all reasonable listening levels.

Come hear the Halo products in our state-of-the-art listening room.
