Primare Say….
i15 Prisma Mk2 is an award winning compact integrated amplifier and network player providing remarkable power and featuring Prisma music streaming and multi-room/multi-zone functionality; with its three-quarter-sized cabinet, opening up even greater possibilities for providing the highest quality music performance and access to any and every room in the house.
The Prisma technology bundle was created to allow everyone in the household to explore, discover, and share the deeply satisfying experience of high-performance music playback – providing multi-room/multi-zone connectivity and control of stored and streamed media, whether wired or wireless, all managed from mobile devices with familiar streaming apps and a dedicated system control app.
The amplification section utilises a class leading Hypex all analogue output stage providing 60 watts of power into an 8-ohm and 100 watts into a 4-ohm load for astonishing drive and control of virtually any speaker, completely belying the amplifier’s compact size. The digital to analogue conversion stage is equally impressive, capable of processing music files with resolution up to PCM 384kHz and DSD 256 capabilities.
Primare products embody the Scandinavian design ideal of lagom – that sense of not too much or too little, but just right; everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.
