Allt-i-Ett is a complete all-in-one audio system from Primare (Sweden) combining a 300W amplifier, a 10-driver speaker array, BACCH 3D Spatial Audio, HDMI eARC, MM phono input, FM and DAB+ radio, and the full Prisma streaming platform (Spotify Connect, Qobuz, TIDAL MAX, AirPlay 2, AptX-HD Bluetooth) in a single 690mm cabinet. Allt-i-Ett means \"all-in-one\" in Swedish and Norwegian. It is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA and is currently on demo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare Allt-i-Ett compare to a conventional soundbar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare Allt-i-Ett and a conventional soundbar both connect to a TV via HDMI, but they differ fundamentally in scale and engineering. A typical premium soundbar uses two to four small drivers and 100W or less of amplification. The Allt-i-Ett deploys ten purpose-designed drivers — including front, rear, and down-firing woofers — with 300W driving them, delivering room-filling dynamics that no soundbar achieves. It also adds BACCH 3D Spatial Audio for holographic stereo imaging, a built-in MM phono stage for turntable connection, and the full Prisma streaming platform including TIDAL MAX lossless and AptX-HD Bluetooth — capabilities that place it in a different category entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare Allt-i-Ett compare to the Naim Mu-so 2nd Generation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare Allt-i-Ett and Naim Mu-so 2nd Generation are both premium all-in-one audio systems, but differ significantly in power, speaker configuration, and source integration. The Mu-so uses 450W across six drivers in a sealed cabinet. The Allt-i-Ett uses 300W across ten drivers with front, rear, and down-firing dispersion alongside BACCH 3D crosstalk cancellation — a feature the Mu-so does not include. The Allt-i-Ett also adds HDMI eARC for TV integration, a built-in MM phono stage, DAB+ radio, and a motorized touchscreen display, making it a more complete room entertainment system rather than a music-focused all-in-one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is BACCH 3D Spatial Audio?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBACCH 3D Spatial Audio is an advanced crosstalk cancellation technology developed at Princeton University that removes acoustic distortions inherent in conventional two-channel listening and reveals the natural three-dimensional spatial cues present in stereo recordings. In the Allt-i-Ett, it creates an immersive, holographic soundstage from a single-cabinet system — with instruments and voices positioned realistically in space beyond the physical boundaries of the cabinet itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable directly to the Primare Allt-i-Ett?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Allt-i-Ett includes a built-in MM phono stage via its stereo RCA input, allowing direct connection of any moving magnet turntable without an external phono preamplifier. Moving coil cartridges require a separate MC-capable phono preamplifier connected to the line-level RCA input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Primare Allt-i-Ett support lossless streaming?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Allt-i-Ett supports TIDAL Connect at TIDAL MAX quality (lossless and hi-res MQA) and Qobuz Connect for lossless 24-bit streaming. AirPlay 2 provides lossless Apple Lossless (ALAC) transport from Apple devices, and AptX-HD Bluetooth delivers near-lossless wireless audio up to 24-bit\/48kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I hear the Primare Allt-i-Ett in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare Allt-i-Ett is currently on demo at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer in Buffalo, NY, USA.

It is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare I25 differ from the I35?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the I25 and I35 use UFPD 2 all-analog Class-D amplification and share the same modular upgrade path. The I35 delivers higher output power — 150W per channel into 8Ω versus 100W for the I25, and 300W versus 200W into 4Ω — and adds two balanced XLR input pairs alongside its RCA inputs. The I25 uses five RCA analog inputs only. For moderate-sensitivity loudspeakers in mid-size listening rooms, the I25 Prisma DM36 provides equivalent digital and streaming capability to the I35 Prisma DM36 at a more accessible price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare I25 compare to the Rega Elicit MK5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare I25 and Rega Elicit MK5 are both premium integrated amplifiers, but differ in topology and upgradeability. The Elicit MK5 uses Class AB amplification at 105W per channel in a fixed-feature design. The I25 uses UFPD 2 all-analog Class-D at 100W per channel and adds the ability to accept a DAC and full Prisma streaming module at any time — enabling the amplifier to grow with the system without replacement. The I25 also provides a PRE output for biamping or subwoofer connection, which the Elicit MK5 does not include.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add streaming to the Primare I25 later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The I25 accepts the optional SM35 Prisma network player module, installable at the time of purchase or at any later date. This brings AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, Roon Ready, Bluetooth, and multi-room control to the amplifier without replacing the chassis — a core advantage of Primare's modular design philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is UFPD 2 amplification?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUFPD 2 (Ultra Fast Power Device 2) is Primare's proprietary all-analog Class-D amplifier topology. Unlike conventional Class D designs that use digital pulse-width modulation, UFPD 2 maintains a consistent feedback loop gain across the full audible bandwidth — delivering amplification that is linear, fast, and musically natural, combining the efficiency of Class D with the sonic character of the finest linear amplifier designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Primare I25 in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare I25 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer in Buffalo, NY, USA.

channel into 8Ω, the DM36 DAC module (ESS ES9068A, PCM 384kHz, DSD 256, MQA), and the SM35 Prisma streaming module (AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect). It is the most complete configuration of the I25 platform, available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the I25, I25 DAC, and I25 Prisma DM36?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe I25 is the base amplifier with five RCA analog inputs and no digital conversion or streaming. The I25 DAC adds the DM36 DAC module for high-resolution digital inputs including PCM 384kHz, DSD 256, and MQA. The I25 Prisma DM36 includes both the DM36 DAC module and the SM35 Prisma network streaming module, making it the most versatile and complete I25 configuration with amplification, conversion, and multi-room streaming in a single component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare I25 Prisma DM36 compare to the Cambridge Audio Evo 150?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare I25 Prisma DM36 and Cambridge Audio Evo 150 are both all-in-one integrated amplifier and streaming platforms at comparable price points. The Evo 150 uses Hypex NCore amplification at 150W per channel, while the I25 Prisma DM36 uses Primare's proprietary UFPD 2 all-analog Class-D at 100W per channel. The I25 adds full MQA decoding, DSD 256 support, and a significantly more comprehensive set of digital inputs including four Toslink ports and two coaxial inputs versus the Evo 150's more limited digital connectivity. Both support AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Roon Ready streaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare I25 Prisma DM36 compare to the Primare I35 Prisma DM36?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe I25 Prisma DM36 and I35 Prisma DM36 share the same DM36 DAC module and SM35 Prisma streaming module. The key differences are in the amplifier stage: the I35 delivers 150W per channel versus 100W for the I25, and adds two balanced XLR input pairs alongside its RCA inputs. The I25 uses five RCA analog inputs only. For systems with demanding loudspeakers or larger listening rooms, the I35 Prisma DM36 is the stronger choice; for moderate-sensitivity speakers in mid-size rooms, the I25 Prisma DM36 provides equivalent digital and streaming capability at a lower entry point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does the I25 Prisma DM36 support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVia the SM35 Prisma module, the I25 Prisma DM36 supports Spotify Connect, Qobuz, Tidal, AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Bluetooth, UPnP\/DLNA, and Roon Ready.

Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Primare I35 Prisma DM36?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare I35 Prisma DM36 is a fully equipped modular integrated amplifier and network player from Primare (Sweden) combining UFPD 2 amplification at 150W per channel into 8Ω, the DM36 DAC module (ESS ES9068A, PCM 384kHz, DSD 256, MQA), and the SM35 Prisma streaming module (AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect) in a single component. It is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare I35 Prisma DM36 compare to the Naim Uniti Nova?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare I35 Prisma DM36 and Naim Uniti Nova are both premium all-in-one integrated amplifier and streaming platforms, but they differ in power and architecture. The Nova delivers 80W per channel via Class AB amplification, while the I35 Prisma DM36 provides 150W per channel using Primare's UFPD 2 all-analog Class-D topology — nearly double the output power. The I35 also adds balanced XLR inputs for fully balanced source connections. Both platforms offer comprehensive streaming and multi-room capability; the Prisma platform uses Chromecast built-in and AirPlay 2 as primary streaming protocols, while the Nova uses Naim's own network player core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare I35 Prisma DM36 compare to the Hegel H390?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare I35 Prisma DM36 and Hegel H390 are both upper-tier integrated amplifiers with built-in DAC and streaming. The H390 uses Hegel's Class AB SoundEngine 2 topology and delivers 250W per channel, while the I35 Prisma DM36 uses UFPD 2 all-analog Class-D at 150W per channel. The I35 adds the full Prisma multi-room streaming platform with Chromecast built-in, AirPlay 2, and Roon Ready, plus full MQA decoding via the DM36 module — features the H390 does not include. The I35 also supports DSD 256 natively, whereas the H390 does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is UFPD 2 and how does it differ from conventional Class D?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUFPD 2 (Ultra Fast Power Device 2) is Primare's proprietary all-analog Class-D amplification technology. Unlike conventional Class D designs that use digital pulse-width modulation, UFPD 2 is an entirely analog circuit that achieves the efficiency of Class D while maintaining linearity and transient response comparable to high-quality Class A or AB amplification. The result is fast, precise, low-distortion amplification across the full audible bandwidth with very low heat output — making it ideal for compact, rack-friendly integrated amplifier design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is MQA and does the I35 Prisma DM36 support it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an audio encoding and authentication technology developed in the UK that packages and delivers the sound of the original studio master recording in a file small enough to stream or download. The I35 Prisma DM36 fully decodes MQA via the DM36 module, meaning it performs the complete three-stage unfolding process for maximum resolution rather than merely passing the signal through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add modules to the Primare I35 later if I already own one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The I35 base amplifier accepts both the DM36 DAC module and the SM35 Prisma streaming module, either at the time of purchase or at any later date. The I35 Prisma DM36 is the fully equipped version with both modules already installed. This modularity means an I35 owner can upgrade to DAC or streaming capability without replacing the amplifier, protecting the original investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Primare I35 Prisma DM36 in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare I35 Prisma DM36 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer in Buffalo, NY, USA.

It includes two balanced XLR input pairs, three RCA inputs, and dual balanced XLR PRE outputs, and accepts the optional DM35 DAC module and SM35 Prisma streaming module at any time. It is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Primare PRE35 and the PRE35 Prisma DM36?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PRE35 is the base preamplifier with analog inputs and outputs only — no digital conversion and no network streaming. The PRE35 Prisma DM36 includes both the DM36 DAC module (ESS ES9068A, PCM 384kHz, DSD 256, MQA) and the SM35 Prisma streaming module (AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Roon Ready) installed from the factory. Buyers wanting a pure analog preamplifier now with the option to add digital capability later should start with the PRE35. Those wanting the complete feature set from day one should choose the PRE35 Prisma DM36.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare PRE35 compare to the Pass Labs XP-12?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare PRE35 and Pass Labs XP-12 are both premium balanced preamplifiers with XLR inputs and outputs, but they differ in design philosophy and scope. The XP-12 uses Pass Labs' Class A JFET circuit topology in a pure analog, single-purpose design. The PRE35 uses a four-layer balanced PCB architecture and offers modular expandability — the ability to add a high-resolution DAC and full network streaming platform without replacing the unit. For buyers seeking a pure analog preamplifier that can evolve as their system needs change, the PRE35's modular approach is a practical advantage the XP-12 cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare PRE35 compare to the Bryston BP17 Cubed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare PRE35 and Bryston BP17 Cubed are both fully balanced analog preamplifiers at comparable performance levels. The BP17 Cubed uses Bryston's discrete Class A balanced circuit design with a 20-year warranty. The PRE35 differentiates itself through modular upgradability — the DM35 DAC and SM35 Prisma modules transform it into a DAC-equipped streaming preamplifier without chassis replacement. Both support dual balanced XLR output pairs for driving multiple power amplifiers simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add streaming to the Primare PRE35 later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The PRE35 accepts the SM35 Prisma streaming module at any point after purchase, bringing AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, Roon Ready, and Bluetooth multi-room capability to the preamplifier without any chassis replacement. The DM35 DAC module can also be added independently, or both modules can be installed together to create the full PRE35 Prisma DM36 configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat power amplifiers pair well with the Primare PRE35?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PRE35's natural partners within the Primare 35 Series are the A35.2 stereo power amplifier and the A35.8 eight-channel amplifier. Its dual balanced XLR PRE outputs make it straightforward to drive two separate power amplifiers simultaneously — for example, dedicated left and right monoblocks, or a stereo amplifier for the front channels alongside the A35.8 for a multi-channel cinema array. The PRE35 also pairs naturally with third-party balanced power amplifiers from manufacturers including Hegel, Parasound, and NAD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Primare PRE35 in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare PRE35 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer in Buffalo, NY, USA.

It delivers 200W per channel into 8Ω in stereo and 800W into 8Ω in bridged mono, making it the most powerful UFPD 2 amplifier Primare has produced. It accepts both balanced XLR and RCA inputs and is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare A35.2 compare to the Parasound Halo A 21+?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare A35.2 and Parasound Halo A 21+ are both high-power stereo power amplifiers with balanced XLR inputs, but they use different amplification technologies. The A 21+ uses Class AB topology at 300W per channel into 8Ω. The A35.2 uses Primare's proprietary UFPD 2 all-analog Class-D at 200W into 8Ω, rising to 400W into 4Ω. The A35.2 bridges to 800W mono, comparable to the A 21+'s 900W bridged figure. The key distinction is in topology: UFPD 2 delivers its power with lower heat output, a smaller chassis footprint, and the characteristic speed and linearity of Primare's Class-D approach. The A35.2 is also the natural partner for the Primare PRE35 Prisma DM36 preamplifier in an all-Primare separates system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare A35.2 compare to the Rotel RB-1590 MKII?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare A35.2 and Rotel RB-1590 MKII are both serious two-channel power amplifiers with balanced inputs. The RB-1590 MKII uses Class AB amplification at 350W per channel into 8Ω. The A35.2 uses UFPD 2 all-analog Class-D at 200W into 8Ω but delivers 800W in bridged mono, and its custom-wound transformer power supply is purpose-designed for this specific amplifier rather than shared across a product family. The A35.2's lower continuous wattage compared to the RB-1590 MKII reflects the efficiency difference between Class D and Class AB topologies rather than any performance limitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is UFPD 2 and how does it differ from the UFPD used in other Primare amplifiers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUFPD 2 (Ultra Fast Power Device 2) is Primare's proprietary all-analog Class-D amplification technology, a fundamental rework of the original UFPD platform. In the A35.2 specifically, the UFPD 2 module is purpose-engineered for this amplifier — it is not an adapted module from the I35 or I25 but a dedicated design matched to the custom power supply. This allows the A35.2 to achieve higher sustained power output and lower distortion than would be possible with a shared amplifier module, making it genuinely a statement-level power amplifier rather than an upgraded integrated stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Primare A35.2 be used in a bridged mono configuration?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The A35.2 bridges to 800W into 8Ω in mono mode, making it suitable for use as an extremely powerful monoblock amplifier when two units are employed. In a multi-channel home cinema context, a single A35.2 in stereo serves as the dedicated front left and right amplifier partnered with the A35.8 eight-channel amplifier covering the remaining channels — enabling configurations from 5.1.4 through 9.1.6 Auro-3D.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Primare A35.2 in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare A35.2 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer in Buffalo, NY, USA.

Prisma?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare SPA25 Prisma is a 9-channel home cinema integrated amplifier and processor from Primare (Sweden) with 145W per channel into 8Ω, 11-channel Dolby Atmos and DTS:X processing, Dirac Live room correction, dual ESS ES9026PRO DACs, 4 HDMI 2.0b inputs with eARC, and the Prisma network streaming platform. Unlike a traditional AV receiver, it uses Hypex Class D amplification and a dedicated DAC allocation for the stereo front channels, reflecting its audiophile design heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare SPA25 Prisma compare to the Arcam AVR31?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare SPA25 Prisma and Arcam AVR31 are both premium multi-channel integrated amplifiers, but they differ in power, amplifier topology, and streaming integration. The SPA25 Prisma uses Hypex Class D amplification at 145W per channel, while the AVR31 uses Class G at 120W per channel. Both units use Dirac Live for room correction and support 11-channel Atmos and DTS:X. The SPA25 Prisma adds the Prisma multi-room streaming platform with AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, and Spotify Connect natively, and its bi-amp mode delivers up to 290W into 8Ω per speaker on the front pair — a significant power advantage for larger rooms and harder-to-drive speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare SPA25 Prisma compare to the Denon AVC-X6700H?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare SPA25 Prisma and Denon AVC-X6700H both target the upper-tier home cinema amplifier segment with 11-channel processing and built-in streaming. The AVC-X6700H uses conventional linear amplification at 140W per channel and Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room correction. The SPA25 Prisma counters with Hypex Class D amplification, Dirac Live (which corrects phase and time-domain as well as frequency), and the dedicated four-channel DAC allocation for the front stereo pair. The SPA25 Prisma's Prisma streaming platform also offers multiroom functionality and higher-resolution streaming capabilities beyond what Denon's HEOS platform provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Hypex Class D amplification?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHypex Class D is a high-efficiency switching amplifier topology developed by Hypex Electronics (Netherlands) and used in audiophile-grade equipment for its combination of low distortion, high power output, and low heat generation. Unlike conventional Class A or Class AB designs, Class D switches the output transistors at very high frequency, recovering energy that would otherwise be lost as heat. In the SPA25 Prisma, the adaptive Hypex power supply delivers current on demand rather than continuously, allowing the amplifier to achieve high peak outputs while remaining energy-efficient during normal listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Primare SPA25 Prisma power a 7.1.4 Atmos system on its own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SPA25 Prisma's 9 built-in amplification channels support configurations including 5.1.4 and 7.1.2 natively, and 5.1.2 with bi-amped front speakers. A full 7.1.4 configuration requires the addition of a stereo power amplifier for the front left and right channels, freeing the internal amplifier channels to cover all seven surround and height positions. The Front L and Front R RCA outputs on the back panel are provided specifically for this purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Primare SPA25 Prisma support Roon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoon Ready certification for the SPA25 Prisma is available via a future firmware update. Tidal HiFi and Qobuz direct streaming are also being added via firmware. The unit natively supports AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Bluetooth, and Spotify Connect from day one, allowing Roon users to stream via AirPlay 2 in the interim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Primare SPA25 Prisma in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare SPA25 Prisma is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer in Buffalo, NY, USA.

Prisma is an 11-channel home cinema preamplifier processor from Primare (Sweden) featuring Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dirac Live room correction, dual ESS ES9026PRO DACs, 4 HDMI 2.0b inputs with eARC, and the full Prisma network streaming platform. It is a preamplifier processor only, with no built-in amplification, designed to be paired with one or more external power amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare SP25 Prisma compare to the Anthem AVM 90?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare SP25 Prisma and Anthem AVM 90 are both flagship-level separates processors, but they differ in their approach to room correction and DAC architecture. The AVM 90 uses Anthem Room Correction (ARC Genesis), which is a highly regarded DSP platform. The SP25 Prisma uses Dirac Live, which corrects both frequency response and phase simultaneously — a distinction that matters particularly for transient accuracy and imaging precision. The SP25 Prisma also integrates the Prisma network streaming platform with AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Spotify Connect natively, whereas the AVM 90 requires a separate streaming source. Both support 11-channel Atmos and DTS:X processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare SP25 Prisma compare to the Arcam AV41?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare SP25 Prisma and Arcam AV41 are close competitors in the premium separates processor segment. The AV41 uses Dirac Live as well, but the SP25 Prisma differentiates itself with dual ESS ES9026PRO 8-channel DACs across all outputs, the integrated Prisma multiroom streaming platform, and a more flexible bi-amp output configuration. Both units support Dolby Atmos 11-channel processing and eARC HDMI. The SP25 Prisma's EISA Best Home Theatre Processor 2024-2025 award reflects its standing among a competitive field that includes the AV41.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Primare SP25 Prisma support Roon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoon Ready certification for the SP25 Prisma is available via a future firmware update. Tidal HiFi and Qobuz direct streaming are also being added via firmware. In the meantime, the unit fully supports AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Bluetooth, and Spotify Connect as native streaming protocols from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Dirac Live and how does it work in the SP25 Prisma?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirac Live is a room correction system that analyses the acoustic behaviour of your listening room and applies digital filters to correct both frequency response and impulse response simultaneously. Unlike EQ-only correction systems that address frequency imbalances alone, Dirac Live also corrects phase and time-domain errors, which improves stereo imaging, widens the sweet spot, and tightens bass performance. In the SP25 Prisma, Dirac Live operates in both stereo and multi-channel modes and is upgradeable to full-bandwidth correction beyond the default sub-500Hz range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Primare SP25 Prisma be used as a two-channel stereo preamplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The SP25 Prisma includes a USB-B digital input for use as a high-resolution USB DAC, and its dual ESS ES9026PRO converters deliver audiophile-grade stereo performance. The dual Front Left and Right analog outputs support bi-amping the main stereo pair, making it a capable two-channel preamplifier and DAC within a full home cinema system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifiers pair well with the Primare SP25 Prisma?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimare designed the SP25 Prisma specifically to partner with its EISA Award-winning A35.8 eight-channel balanced power amplifier for a full multichannel system, and the A35.2 stereo amplifier for the front mains. The additional Front L\/R\/Centre RCA outputs make it straightforward to integrate separate stereo amplifiers for those channels. Because the SP25 Prisma is a preamplifier with no built-in power stage, it is equally compatible with power amplifiers from other manufacturers including Hegel, Parasound, and NAD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Primare SP25 Prisma in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare SP25 Prisma is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer located in Buffalo, NY, USA.

Primare's circuit layout places each amp module directly into the heatsinks that isolate it from power supply noise, while input and output stages are equally isolated from any interference the modules might generate. A continuous ribbon of circuit board threads through a channel in the heatsinks, creating the shortest possible signal path from input to output. The result is direct, even power distribution and an exceptionally clean signal at every stage, regardless of load or channel count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBridging and Power Configuration Flexibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pair of output channels can be independently bridged to mono, giving the A35.8 extraordinary flexibility to match virtually any speaker configuration and power requirement. In a fully bridged bi-amped stereo configuration, a single A35.8 delivers 4 × 375W — 750W per channel pair — for two-channel listening at a level typically reserved for separate monoblock amplifiers. For home cinema, it powers 5.1, 7.1, or 5.1.2 configurations on its own, and combined with a Primare A35.2 stereo amplifier it supports 5.1.4, 7.1.2, or 7.1.4 layouts.

It accepts both XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced inputs per channel and is designed to anchor any multi-channel home cinema or audiophile stereo system requiring exceptional power and flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare A35.8 compare to the Emotiva XPA-8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare A35.8 and Emotiva XPA-8 are both eight-channel power amplifiers, but they differ significantly in amplifier topology, bridging capability, and build philosophy. The XPA-8 uses a conventional Class AB design, while the A35.8 uses Hypex Ncore — a reference-grade Class D topology delivering lower distortion and greater efficiency at high output levels. The A35.8 also bridges per channel pair to 375W mono, a feature the XPA-8 does not offer, giving the Primare far greater system flexibility for bi-amping and high-demand configurations. The A35.8's EISA joint award from both Hi-Fi and Home Theatre Expert Groups reflects its standing across both application domains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare A35.8 compare to the Anthem MCA 50?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare A35.8 delivers 150W per channel versus the Anthem MCA 50's 5-channel 200W-per-channel Class AB design. The A35.8 provides three additional channels plus full bridgeable mono capability, making it significantly more flexible for multi-channel and immersive audio configurations. Hypex Ncore amplification in the A35.8 also operates with substantially lower thermal output than the MCA 50's Class AB topology, making it better suited for equipment rack installation. For a separates processor like the SP25 Prisma or SPA25 Prisma, the A35.8 is the natural partner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Primare A35.8 power a 7.1.4 Atmos system on its own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A35.8's eight channels can power a 7.1 or 5.1.2 configuration on its own. For a full 7.1.4 layout — requiring 12 amplifier channels — the A35.8 is combined with a Primare A35.2 stereo power amplifier for the front left and right channels, freeing all eight A35.8 channels for the surround, overhead, and LCE positions. For the largest Auro-3D configurations including 9.1.6 and 13.1, two A35.8 units are used together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Hypex Ncore amplification?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHypex Ncore is a proprietary Class D amplifier topology developed by Hypex Electronics (Netherlands) that achieves distortion levels well below those of conventional Class AB designs while delivering high sustained power output. Unlike earlier Class D implementations, Ncore operates with vanishingly low intermodulation distortion and an ultra-wide flat frequency response, producing a sound character closer to high-quality Class A amplification than to conventional switching amplifier designs. It is used in a number of the world's most highly regarded reference power amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Primare A35.8 have balanced XLR inputs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The A35.8 provides one XLR balanced input and one RCA unbalanced input for each of its eight channels, allowing fully balanced connection from any multi-channel preamplifier or processor including the Primare SP25 Prisma and SPA25 Prisma.

The WiiM Pro Plus adds a built-in ESS DAC with analog outputs and supports Amazon Music and Tidal Connect alongside AirPlay 2 and Chromecast. The NP5 Prisma MK2 differentiates itself with the full Primare Prisma platform including Roon Ready certification, the RS232 control port for compatible Primare component integration, and the EISA Streamer 2022-2023 award reflecting its class-leading streaming performance. For Primare system owners or dedicated Roon users, the NP5 Prisma MK2 is the technically stronger solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare NP5 Prisma MK2 compare to the Cambridge Audio MXN10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare NP5 Prisma MK2 and Cambridge Audio MXN10 are both compact network streaming units with a similar digital output approach. The MXN10 adds a built-in DAC with analog RCA output, making it a more self-contained solution. The NP5 Prisma MK2 is a pure digital transport — connecting to an existing DAC — and adds the RS232 control port for Primare component integration and the full Prisma multi-room platform with Roon Ready. For buyers wanting to upgrade an existing high-quality DAC or integrated amplifier with streaming rather than bypassing its analog stage with a new one, the NP5 Prisma MK2 is the architecturally correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Primare NP5 Prisma MK2 Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The NP5 Prisma MK2 is fully Roon Ready certified, appearing as a Roon endpoint in the Roon interface with full lossless transport and metadata display.

The NP5 Prisma MK2 is specifically designed for this purpose. Connecting via the digital output to any compatible Primare amplifier or preamplifier's digital input immediately adds the full Prisma streaming platform to that component. The RS232 control port additionally enables the NP5 Prisma MK2 to control volume, mute, standby, and input selection on compatible legacy Primare models — making it a genuine functional system upgrade rather than simply an external streaming source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Primare NP5 Prisma MK2 in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare NP5 Prisma MK2 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer in Buffalo, NY, USA.

Two stereo RCA analog inputs allow analog sources — CD players, turntables with phono stage, tuners — to pass through the preamplifier stage, making the SC15 Prisma MK2 a complete analog and digital hub. In variable output mode, it connects directly to power amplifiers or active loudspeakers as a full-function preamplifier; in fixed output mode it operates as a standard network player and DAC source within any system. The WiSA wireless output enables direct high-resolution wireless connection to WiSA-certified powered loudspeakers — and when WiSA is active, the RCA analog output can be reconfigured as a wired subwoofer output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAuto Room EQ and Prisma Streaming\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew in the MK2, built-in Auto Room EQ integrated into the Prisma app performs a 60-second room measurement — playing pink noise while an iOS device or Zen microphone (Android) samples multiple positions around the room — then automatically applies a bass filter to compensate for boundary effects and room modes.

is the Primare SC15 Prisma MK2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare SC15 Prisma MK2 is a network player and DAC from Primare (Sweden) combining an ESS ES9028Q2M DAC (PCM 384kHz, DSD 256), selectable fixed and variable analog output, WiSA wireless speaker connectivity, built-in Auto Room EQ, two RCA analog inputs, and the full Prisma streaming platform with AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Spotify Connect. It is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare SC15 Prisma MK2 compare to the Cambridge Audio MXN10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare SC15 Prisma MK2 and Cambridge Audio MXN10 are both compact network players, but the SC15 Prisma MK2 is significantly more feature-complete. The MXN10 provides a single fixed analog output and streams via AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Spotify Connect. The SC15 Prisma MK2 adds a variable output for direct active speaker connection, two RCA analog inputs making it a preamplifier hub, WiSA wireless speaker connectivity, built-in Auto Room EQ, and a broader digital input set including USB-B and three Toslink ports. For buyers wanting a single compact component to anchor a complete system — rather than just adding streaming to an existing DAC — the SC15 Prisma MK2 is the substantially more capable solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is WiSA and how does it work on the SC15 Prisma MK2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWiSA (Wireless Speaker and Audio) is a high-resolution wireless audio standard supporting uncompressed 24-bit\/96kHz transmission to WiSA-certified powered loudspeakers. On the SC15 Prisma MK2, the WiSA output enables direct wireless connection to any WiSA-compatible active speaker system without additional hardware. When WiSA is active, the RCA analog output can additionally be configured as a wired subwoofer output for deeper bass extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Primare SC15 Prisma MK2 be used as a preamplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. In variable output mode, the SC15 Prisma MK2 provides volume-controlled analog output from any digital or analog source, functioning as a full-featured network preamplifier that can connect directly to a power amplifier or active loudspeakers. Two RCA analog inputs allow analog sources — phono stage, CD player, or tuner — to pass through the volume control stage alongside all digital and streaming inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the SC15 Prisma MK2 have a headphone output?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SC15 Prisma MK2 does not include a dedicated headphone output. Within the Primare 15 Series ecosystem, headphone listening is available via the Allt-i-Ett all-in-one system, which includes both a 3.5mm wired and Bluetooth headphone output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Primare SC15 Prisma MK2 in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare SC15 Prisma MK2 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer in Buffalo, NY, USA.

It accepts the optional SM35 Prisma network module at any time, upgrading it to full streaming and multi-room capability. It is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Primare CD35 and CD35 Prisma?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CD35 and CD35 Prisma share the same TEAC CD 5020A-AT transport and ESS Sabre ES9028PRO DAC. The CD35 is the pure CD player variant with no built-in network streaming. The CD35 Prisma has the SM35 Prisma network module installed from the factory, adding AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, and Roon Ready. The CD35 can be upgraded to CD35 Prisma specification at any time by adding the SM35 module — the underlying hardware is identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare CD35 compare to the Audiolab 9000CDT transport with a separate DAC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare CD35 and a dedicated transport-plus-DAC combination represent different philosophies. The CD35 integrates the TEAC CD 5020A-AT transport and ESS Sabre ES9028PRO DAC in a single matched unit, delivering balanced XLR analog output directly. A transport-plus-DAC configuration like the Audiolab 9000CDT with an external DAC requires additional interconnects and introduces the challenge of digital cable quality and jitter management between components. The CD35 eliminates those variables while delivering the same transport mechanism used in the award-winning CD35 Prisma. Its optional SM35 Prisma module also allows it to evolve into a full streaming source without chassis replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Primare CD35 be used as a pure CD transport?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The CD35 provides both RCA coaxial and Toslink digital outputs, enabling it to function as a dedicated transport delivering a jitter-free digital signal to any external DAC or to any Primare integrated amplifier equipped with the DM35 or DM36 DAC module. When used this way, the CD35's internal ESS Sabre DAC is bypassed, and the digital signal is processed entirely by the external conversion stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifiers pair well with the Primare CD35?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CD35 connects naturally to any Primare 35 Series integrated amplifier or preamplifier — the I35, I25, I35 Prisma DM36, I25 Prisma DM36, or PRE35 Prisma DM36 — via its balanced XLR or RCA outputs. It pairs with the I35 amplifier in the same configuration that earned the CD35 Prisma variant an EISA Stereo System 2019-2020 award. For amplifiers with DM35 or DM36 modules, the CD35's digital coaxial output can feed the amplifier's DAC stage directly for an alternative signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Primare CD35 in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare CD35 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer in Buffalo, NY, USA.

The CXC is a pure transport requiring a separate external DAC for analog output, while the CD35 Prisma integrates the TEAC CD 5020A-AT transport, ESS Sabre ES9028PRO DAC, and full Prisma network streaming in a single component. The CD35 Prisma also provides balanced XLR analog output and coaxial and Toslink digital outputs, enabling it to serve as both a complete analog source and a digital transport feeding an external DAC if preferred — making it significantly more versatile than a dedicated transport solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare CD35 Prisma compare to the Marantz CD 60?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare CD35 Prisma and Marantz CD 60 are both audiophile CD players, but differ substantially in scope. The CD 60 is a dedicated CD player with a built-in DAC and no network streaming capability. The CD35 Prisma adds the full Prisma network platform — AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Roon Ready, and Spotify Connect — plus balanced XLR outputs and the modularity to transfer the Prisma module to other components. For buyers wanting a single source component covering both physical disc playback and high-resolution network streaming, the CD35 Prisma offers a substantially more complete solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Primare CD35 Prisma support Roon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The CD35 Prisma is Roon Ready via the SM35 Prisma network module, allowing it to appear as a Roon endpoint directly in the Roon interface with full lossless audio transport. It also supports AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, and Spotify Connect for streaming without a Roon subscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the variable output mode on the CD35 Prisma?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn variable output mode, the CD35 Prisma's analog output level is controlled by the unit itself rather than being fixed, allowing it to connect directly to a power amplifier or active loudspeakers without a separate preamplifier. This makes it useful for streamlined two-component systems where a dedicated preamplifier is not required. Fixed output mode provides a consistent level for use as a standard source component within a preamplifier-based system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifiers pair best with the Primare CD35 Prisma?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CD35 Prisma was awarded the EISA Stereo System 2019-2020 award in partnership with the Primare I35 integrated amplifier, and this remains its natural pairing within the Primare 35 Series ecosystem. It also pairs directly with the I25, I35 Prisma DM36, or PRE35 Prisma DM36 preamplifier via its balanced XLR or RCA outputs.

The CXC V2 uses a custom-engineered transport mechanism with a single coaxial output. The DD35 uses the TEAC CD 5020A-AT — the same flagship mechanism found in the Primare CD35 Prisma — and provides both RCA coaxial and Toslink outputs with a discrete dedicated digital output power supply, fully isolated from the drive. For buyers building a Primare separates system around the I35, I25, or PRE35 with DM35\/DM36 modules, the DD35 also integrates cleanly via 12V trigger and RS232 for full system automation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat DACs does the Primare DD35 work with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DD35 works with any external DAC accepting RCA coaxial or Toslink S\/PDIF input. Within the Primare ecosystem, it pairs directly with the DM35 or DM36 DAC modules installed in the I35, I25, I35 Prisma DM36, I25 Prisma DM36, or PRE35 Prisma DM36 preamplifier. This configuration separates the transport and conversion stages for optimal noise isolation — a classic audiophile transport-plus-DAC topology using Primare's modular system architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose a dedicated transport like the DD35 over an all-in-one CD player?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dedicated transport separates the mechanical operation of the CD drive from the digital-to-analog conversion stage, eliminating the possibility of mechanical noise from the drive motor or spindle coupling into the sensitive DAC and analog output circuitry. In the DD35, the dedicated discrete power supply on the output stage further isolates the digital signal path. For systems where the DAC is already of very high quality — such as the ESS ES9068A in a Primare I35 Prisma DM36 or PRE35 Prisma DM36 — using the DD35 as a pure transport feeding that DAC is the architecturally cleanest source solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Primare DD35 have an analog output?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The DD35 is a pure digital transport with no built-in DAC or analog output stage.

Passive RIAA networks avoid the noise contribution of active amplification where it is not needed, while the active stages provide the gain and precision that passive-only designs cannot deliver at practical component values. Engineered to work with the latest generation of moving magnet and high-output moving coil cartridges, the MM15 operates inside the I15's chassis — eliminating the signal path compromises of an external phono unit, including the additional interconnect cable and its associated capacitance and noise pickup between turntable, phono stage, and amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Module for Primare I15:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installs directly inside the I15 integrated amplifier — no external box, no additional cabling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Low Noise Hybrid Passive and Active EQ Circuit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accurate RIAA correction with minimal noise for transparent vinyl playback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMM and High-Output MC Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with moving magnet and high-output moving coil cartridges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAddable at Any Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installable at purchase or at any later date — a future-proof upgrade for any I15 owner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurpose-Built for the I15:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circuit topology matched to the I15's own amplifier stage for optimum internal synergy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal phono preamplifier module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimare I15 Integrated Amplifier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCartridge Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoving Magnet (MM) and High-Output Moving Coil (MC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCircuit Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUltra-low noise hybrid passive and active EQ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional — addable at any time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Primare MM15?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare MM15 is an internal moving magnet phono preamplifier module from Primare (Sweden) designed exclusively for installation inside the Primare I15 integrated amplifier. It uses a hybrid passive and active EQ circuit for accurate RIAA correction with ultra-low noise, and is compatible with moving magnet and high-output moving coil cartridges. It is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the MM15 compatible with low-output moving coil cartridges?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MM15 is designed for moving magnet and high-output moving coil cartridges. Low-output moving coil cartridges — typically those with output voltages below approximately 1mV — require the higher gain levels of a dedicated MC phono preamplifier such as the Primare R15, which provides up to 65 dB of MC gain. For a complete vinyl system built around the I15, the MM15 handles MM and high-output MC cartridges internally, while low-output MC users should pair the I15 with an external R15 phono preamplifier connected to the I15's analog input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the MM15 be installed after purchase?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MM15 is designed to be added to any I15 at any time — at the point of purchase or later as a dedicated upgrade. This is part of Primare's modular design philosophy, ensuring that the original I15 investment is protected as the system and listening preferences evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat turntables pair well with the I15 and MM15 combination?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe I15 with MM15 installed pairs naturally with any turntable using a moving magnet or high-output moving coil cartridge.

Even with polarized plugs as used in the USA, wall outlet wiring can sometimes be reversed. When an audio component operates with incorrect polarity, its chassis rises to a potential above ground, increasing noise coupling between components and producing a subtle graininess and elevated hum that obscures fine detail and limits dynamic contrast. Correcting the polarity of each component — verifying that the live conductor connects to the transformer primary's correct pin — lowers the chassis potential, reduces noise, and allows music to emerge from a quieter, blacker background. Checking all components in a system and ensuring consistent polarity orientation produces a cumulative improvement in focus, soundstage depth, and the natural decay of instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use the Polarity Pen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the component plugged in and powered on, touch the tip of the Polarity Pen to the outside of the IEC connector where the power cord enters the unit. Test both the left and right sides of the IEC connector. The tip illuminates when the live conductor is detected through the cable insulation. Match the illuminated side to the manufacturer's specified hot pin — often marked on the component chassis or in the manual. If the orientation does not match, simply rotate the plug 180 degrees at the wall outlet. Checking every component in the system — amplifiers, preamplifiers, CD players, streamers, and DACs — ensures a consistent common ground potential across the entire rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Contact Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Detects the live AC conductor safely through the power cable insulation — no exposed contacts, no risk of shock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstant Visual Feedback:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tip illuminates on detection of the live conductor for immediate, unambiguous indication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal IEC Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with all standard IEC power cables and any audio component.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLowers the System Noise Floor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Correct polarity orientation reduces chassis potential, hum, and graininess across all components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded with Primare's Latest Electronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Now available separately for any audiophile system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Powered:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-contained and portable — use anywhere in the rack without a power source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC Polarity \/ Phase Checker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-contact voltage detection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndicator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVisual — tip illuminates on live conductor detection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUsage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetects live AC conductor through power cable insulation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Source\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery powered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversal — all standard IEC power cables\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Primare Polarity Pen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare Polarity Pen is a non-contact AC phase checker from Primare (Sweden) that detects the live conductor in any IEC power cable by illuminating its tip when held near the live side of the connector — without physical contact with exposed conductors.

When a component operates with reversed polarity, its chassis rises to a potential relative to earth ground, increasing the noise coupling between components connected by signal cables. The practical result is elevated hum, graininess in the upper midrange, and a slight compression of low-level detail that becomes audible when compared to correctly oriented polarity. Checking and correcting all components in a system — especially amplifiers, preamplifiers, and DACs — produces a cumulative improvement that is particularly noticeable in the quieter passages of recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Primare Polarity Pen work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Polarity Pen uses non-contact voltage detection — the same operating principle as a standard electrician's test pen — to sense the AC electric field emanating from the live conductor through the cable's insulation without physical contact. When the pen tip is held near the live side of the IEC connector, it detects the field and illuminates. The neutral side produces no illumination. By matching the illuminated side to the component's specified hot pin orientation, correct polarity is confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Polarity Pen with non-Primare components?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Polarity Pen works with any audio component using a standard IEC power cable, regardless of brand. It is universal in application — checking polarity is a beneficial practice for any component in a high-performance audio system, from power amplifiers and integrated amplifiers to DACs, streamers, preamplifiers, and CD players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Polarity Pen safe to use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Polarity Pen operates without physical contact with any live conductor — it detects the AC electric field through the cable insulation from the outside of the IEC connector. The component remains plugged in and powered on during the test, but no part of the pen or the user contacts any exposed electrical conductor. The measurement is passive and does not affect the component's operation in any way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Primare Polarity Pen in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare Polarity Pen is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer in Buffalo, NY, USA.

Once connected to the SC15 Prisma MK2, a 60-second calibration sequence plays pink noise from the system while the Zen captures acoustic data as it is moved to multiple positions around the listening room — sampling all positions to identify each room mode and boundary effect. That data is transferred wirelessly over the network to the Prisma app, where the app's algorithm processes the measurements using the mobile device's CPU to calculate the optimal bass filter correction. The calibrated result is then sent directly back to the SC15 Prisma MK2 and applied automatically. The result can be manually fine-tuned to personal preference after calibration is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWireless Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 2.4GHz:\u003c\/strong\u003e No measurement cables during calibration — completely wire-free operation throughout the room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRechargeable Battery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always ready without disposable batteries; charges via standard USB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequired for Android Calibration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Android users performing SC15 Prisma MK2 Auto Room EQ must use the Zen Microphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks with iOS and Android:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with the Prisma app on both platforms via the same wireless measurement workflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimple Guided Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Prisma app guides the measurement sequence — no acoustic measurement expertise required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with SC15 Prisma MK2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purpose-built for the SC15 Prisma MK2 Auto Room EQ function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWireless measurement microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Device\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimare SC15 Prisma MK2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluetooth and Wi-Fi 2.4GHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRechargeable battery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrisma app (iOS and Android)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAndroid Requirement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequired for Android calibration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (L × W × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e235 × 43 × 18 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.15 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Primare Zen Microphone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare Zen is a wireless rechargeable measurement microphone from Primare (Sweden) designed for automatic room calibration of the SC15 Prisma MK2 network player. It connects via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 2.4GHz, captures acoustic measurements from the listening room, and transfers the data to the Prisma app to calculate and apply optimized bass correction to the SC15 Prisma MK2 automatically. It is required for Android users and available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need the Zen Microphone if I have an iPhone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eiOS users can perform SC15 Prisma MK2 Auto Room EQ calibration using their iPhone or iPad's built-in microphone without the Zen. However, the Zen Microphone provides a calibrated measurement capsule purpose-built for acoustic room analysis, which may produce more accurate calibration results compared to the omnidirectional microphone built into a mobile device. For Android users, the Zen Microphone is required — Android calibration cannot be performed without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Auto Room EQ do on the SC15 Prisma MK2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuto Room EQ on the SC15 Prisma MK2 identifies room modes and boundary effects — the acoustic resonances and bass build-up created by the physical dimensions and surfaces of the listening room — and automatically applies a corrective bass filter to compensate. The calibration process plays pink noise while the measurement microphone samples acoustic data from multiple positions around the room over approximately 60 seconds, then calculates and applies the optimal correction automatically. The result is tighter, more controlled bass that reflects the recording rather than the room's acoustic characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Zen Microphone be used with other Primare components?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zen Microphone is currently designed specifically for the SC15 Prisma MK2 Auto Room EQ function.
