Housed in a 3U chassis measuring 17.25 by 3.55 by 13.75 inches and weighing 19 lbs net, it draws only 12 watts in operation and 1 watt in standby, making it suitable for continuous use. AC voltage selection between 115 and 230 VAC is made via a switch on the chassis bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrequency response across the audio band is 20 Hz to 20 kHz within plus or minus 0.2 dB. Channel crosstalk is 72 dB at 1 kHz. For MM cartridges, input impedance is fixed at 47 kilohms; for MC cartridges, loading is variable from 50 to 550 ohms with a fixed 47-kilohm option also available. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 87 dB IHF A-weighted for both MM and MC configurations. Balanced XLR outputs follow standard pin 2-positive identification, and an external trigger input operates on 9-12 Vdc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports MM and MC cartridges with independent loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMC input impedance: 50-550 ohms variable, or 47 kilohms fixed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMM input impedance: 47 kilohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz, +\/-0.2 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSNR greater than 87 dB IHF A-weighted (MM and MC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable 115V\/230V operation, 12W operating power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standby: 1W Power On: 12W 115 or 230 VAC 50 - 60 Hz (Selected on Chassis Bottom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20Hz - 20kHz, +\/- 0.2dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio Crosstalk:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72dB at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e MM: 47kΩ MC: 50 - 550Ω variable, 47kΩ fixed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 mV for 1 V output Total Gain: 14 dB Maximum Output: 8 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal to Noise Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e MM:\u0026gt; 87dB, input shorted, IHF A-weighted \u0026gt; 78dB, input shorted, unweightedMC:\u0026gt; 87 dB, input shorted, IHF A-weighted \u0026gt; 67 dB, input shorted, unweighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Trigger Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e +9 Vdc to +12 Vdc, 5 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR Pin Identification 1 = Ground (Shield) 2 = Positive 3 = Negative (Return)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W x H x D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 17.25\" x 3.55\" x 13.75\" (438 x 89 x 350mm) (without feet)17.25\" x 4.13\" x 16\" (438 x 105 x 350mm) (with feet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Net Weight: 19 lbs (8.6 kg) Shipping Weight: 26 lbs (11.8 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Parasound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46346890019013,"sku":"PARA-JC3P-BL","price":3350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/JC3_2B_20black_20high_20angle-f.jpg?v=1781125735","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/parasound-halo-series-jc-3-phono-preamplifier-black","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
