    Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of this precision Parasound audio component. The Parasound Model 5250 is the latest generation of popular and proven audio power amplifi- ers dating back to 1981. It has been designed for a wide variety of applications, establishing a new standard for audio performance, user-friendliness and utility in custom installations.

    The Model 5250 occupies four rack spaces in a standard 19” equipment rack. For rack mounting, you must use the Parasound RMK44 rack mounting kit (purchased separate- ly). We recommend that you use the 8 insulated shoulder washers with the four mounting bolts which are included with the RMK44.

Even with the same 250w/channel power rating, the 2250 has a performance edge over the 5250, with superior channel separation and lower channel-channel crosstalk.

Note: The Model 5250 trigger circuit draws a negligible 15 mA from the controller. The total load on your controller’s trigger output(s) is the sum of the trigger current drawn by each of the com- ponents you’ve looped together.
