Primare PRE35 Prism – Technology
The PRE35 Prisma modular preamplifier is an exceptional system control center. It provides unprecedented low-noise and distortion-free selection and transmission of all analog inputs. This is the result of a carefully crafted, fully balanced circuit design that benefits from the use of a four-layer motherboard to achieve the shortest possible signal path.
In addition to the extensive input and output options, which include both XLR and RCA connectors, the Primare PRE35 Prisma offers both the advanced DM35 digital-to-analog converter module and an SM35 Prisma network player module to create a particularly versatile system hub.
The DM35 is a full-featured digital-to-analog converter stage capable of converting up to PCM 768kHz/32bit and DSD 256.
When the DM35 module is installed, the PRE35 Prism features WiSA high-definition wireless speaker connectivity with WiSA-enabled high-performance active speakers.
Primare Prisma – Network and Multiroom Technology
Prisma is a bundle of technologies that offer a wide range of network music player features and functions. Essentially, it was designed as a streamer that allows anyone, anywhere in the home to discover and share the deeply satisfying experience of music.
Primare Prisma offers connectivity for multiple rooms and zones, as well as control of stored and streamed media, whether wired or wireless, all from mobile devices via the dedicated Prisma system control app.
In addition to AirPlay 2, Bluetooth®, Roon Ready and Spotify Connect®, Prisma features Chromecast built-in, a unique streaming portal that enables effortless direct connection to hundreds of streaming apps and services, including voice control.
The Scandinavian look and feel of Primare
We believe that every aspect of these products – the look, the pleasant feel of the controls – contributes to the overall experience of living with Primare. Therefore, Primare products are characterized by Scandinavian design – simple, elegant design with easy-to-understand functions.
One example of this is our characteristic control knob. It’s known throughout the industry for its looks and how it feels in the hand when selecting an input or adjusting the volume.
Modular design and system construction
We believe that it is important to offer modularity whenever possible in order to have just the right features, both now and in the future.
The modular design is reflected in the I25 and I35 modular integrated amplifier. As in the PRE35 modular preamplifier, all of which can be upgraded with DAC and Prisma modules. Also with the CD35 CD player, the Prisma module can be added either at the time of purchase or at a later date.
This allows us to offer a carefully considered range of models and configurations to provide a device selection that best suits the system requirements at hand. For example, a CD35 with Prisma module installed can be coupled to an I35 integrated amplifier, allowing separation of analog and digital stages.
Or an I35 with DAC and Prisma modules installed can be paired with a DD35 CD transporter, allowing multi-room and multi-zone playback of any input, whether analog or digital.
