Product Details
Primare R35 – Flagship MM/MC Phono Preamplifier
The Primare R35 is Primare's most sophisticated and capable 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 — via both RCA and balanced XLR outputs. If you are still relying on a built-in phono stage, now is the time to upgrade.
Technology
The R35 is designed to amplify with honest fidelity the delicate signal from even the lowest-output phono cartridge available. Every component has been carefully chosen and arranged so that all circuit stages work in harmony — centered around a fully isolated power supply that shields the highly sensitive signal path from noise and interference, resulting in a cleaner, more resolved, and more musically faithful presentation.
The R35 features adjustable gain to accommodate virtually any moving magnet or moving coil cartridge, paired with a wide range of capacitive and resistive input adjustments for precise cartridge and system matching. Whether you are running a high-output MM or the most demanding low-output MC, the R35 has the flexibility and headroom to let your cartridge perform at its absolute best.
The Look and Feel of Scandinavia
Primare's commitment to refined design is evident in every detail of the R35. The standby button is discreetly integrated within the Primare logo on the faceplate — a subtle, purposeful touch that reflects the Scandinavian philosophy of lagom: not too much, not too little — everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.
