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. It is not compatible with Auto Room EQ on other Primare components or with third-party room correction systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Primare Zen Microphone in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Primare Zen Microphone is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Primare dealer in Buffalo, NY, USA.
