Primare Zen Wireless Measurement Microphone at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA

The Primare Zen is a wireless measurement microphone from Primare (Malmö, Sweden), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Designed specifically for automatic room calibration of the Primare SC15 Prisma MK2, the Zen connects via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 2.4GHz to capture acoustic data from any listening room and transfer it wirelessly to the Prisma app on any iOS or Android device — which then calculates and applies the optimal calibration settings directly to the SC15 Prisma MK2. The Zen Microphone is required for Android users performing SC15 Prisma MK2 room calibration, and available as an optional upgrade for iOS users seeking a dedicated measurement microphone over their device's built-in mic.

Wireless Room Calibration — How It Works

The Zen Microphone is a rechargeable battery-powered measurement microphone with integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 2.4GHz. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Primare Zen Microphone?

The 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.

Do I need the Zen Microphone if I have an iPhone?

iOS 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.

What does Auto Room EQ do on the SC15 Prisma MK2?

Auto 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.

Can the Zen Microphone be used with other Primare components?

The Zen Microphone is currently designed specifically for the SC15 Prisma MK2 Auto Room EQ function. It is not compatible with Auto Room EQ on other Primare components or with third-party room correction systems.
