Parasound ZC ZAmp V3

Small Amp, Big Personality Drop the ZAmp v3 into your setup and small speakers wake up. Voices snap into focus, bass gets taut instead of boomy, and the whole presentation feels lively and effortless—even in tight spaces. In a slim 1U chassis, it delivers 45 W x2 into 8 Ω (60 W x2 into 4 Ω) or 90 W bridged mono, using a fully discrete Class‑AB design with a toroidal transformer. Everyday integration is easy with 12 V trigger and audio‑sensing auto‑on, plus a front‑panel headphone jack and looping line outputs for flexible zones or bi‑amping. Praised by reviewers “…hardly a newcomer, but very feisty… I was really taken by its sound quality… a stellar bargain.” — Positive Feedback (John Marks). “Amp was a Parasound Zamp v3 that proved an excellent partner for the Mini A for a desktop system.” — Home Theater HiFi. Covered by Parasound's 1-Year Parts & Labor Warranty. Terms effective September 1, 2026.
