REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS 

4

Connection Precautions

Disconnect the AC cord before making or changing any input, trigger, or speaker wire connections.
Make sure there is no strain or tension on any wires that could cause them to pull loose.

In Jacks

Connect the shielded audio cables from your preamplifier or system controller’s output jacks 
to the Model 2125’s L and R audio Input jacks. Use only the R channel jack for mono operation.

Loop Jacks

The jacks replicate the audio input signals to facilitate connections of other power amplifiers 
to the same preamplifier or system controller. Loop connection of multiple power amplifiers 
is called a “daisy chain.”

Note:

 You may loop the trigger connections of multiple Parasound power amplifiers without 

Note:

Note:

overloading the surround controller or preamplifier trigger outputs. 

R (Right) and L (Left) Level Knobs

You can adjust the listening level for each channel by turning its Level knob clockwise to 
increase gain or counter-clockwise to reduce gain. The maximum settings correspond to THX 
Reference Level where the gain is 29: 1 volt at the input jacks corresponds to a 28.28 volts at 
the speaker terminals. THX recommends this setting whenever the 2125 is installed with other 
THX-certified components. 

Note:

 You may wish to experiment with different gain settings on your preamp or a non-THX 

Note:

Note:

surround controller and on the Model 2125 to find a combination of gain settings where your 
system’s background noise is lowest. Sound professionals call these adjustments “gain staging.”

Note:

 Only the R channel Level knob is used for bridged mono operation.
