Primare R15 Phono Stage

Primare R15 – Award-Winning MM/MC Phono Preamplifier

The Primare R15 is an award-winning compact MM/MC phono preamplifier, providing the ideal interface between the low-level output of a moving magnet or moving coil phono cartridge and the line-level inputs of your hi-fi system. If you are still using the built-in phono stage of an aging receiver or amplifier, now is the time to upgrade.

EISA Award Winner – Three Years Running

The R15 has been honored with a prestigious EISA Award for the third consecutive year — a remarkable achievement that reflects its exceptional performance at its price point. The EISA Hi-Fi panel recognized the R15 not only for its superior sound quality, but also acknowledged its design heritage rooted in the flagship R35 MM/MC phono preamplifier, identifying in each Primare's signature sonic character as a blend of weight, substance, detail, and resolution.

"It's the ideal interface between a high-quality record player and the line input of your amplifier." — EISA

Technology

The R15 is designed to amplify with honest fidelity the delicate signal from any cartridge it is paired with. Although housed in Primare's compact three-quarter-sized 15 Series cabinet, the same care and craftsmanship that shaped the larger R35 directly informs the R15's circuit design — allowing all stages to work in harmony for superior sound and greater musical fidelity.

With sufficient gain to accommodate virtually any moving magnet or moving coil cartridge, and highly flexible capacitive and resistive load adjustment, the R15 offers ideal matching to a wide range of turntables and cartridge combinations.

The Look and Feel of Scandinavia

Primare's commitment to detail extends to every surface. The R15's standby button is discreetly integrated within the Primare logo on the faceplate — an elegant example of the Scandinavian principle of lagom: not too much, not too little — everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.
