Primare 2024 Amplifiers and Preamplifiers

Primare, a brand renowned for its manufacturing quality and award-winning products for over three decades, recently unveiled its product collection for 2024. This range includes a series of integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers, and network audio players, available in two finishes: silver and black.

UFPD 2 Amplification Technology

Primare chose Class D amplification technology for its new amplifier models due to its numerous advantages in terms of performance and energy efficiency. Their UFPD (Ultra Fast Power Device) technology fully leverages the benefits of Class D, delivering stable, high-quality power output while reducing power consumption and heat generation. This approach allows Primare to produce amplifiers that deliver quality musical performance, bringing the listener closer to the original recording. The latest evolution of this technology, UFPD 2, is introduced in certain new models, such as the I35 Prisma.

Improved DAC Converter

The DM36 module is a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), designed for the I25 and I35 integrated amplifiers as well as the PRE35 preamplifier. With resolution up to PCM 384 and DSD 256, it delivers immersive, detailed audio quality. Replacing the DM35, the DM36 introduces features such as PCM upsampling and full MQA processing. It offers expanded connectivity with Toslink optical inputs, RCA coaxial inputs, and a USB B input.

SM35 Prisma Module: Network and Multiroom Functionality

The SM35 Prisma module offers advanced connectivity and extended control through Prisma technology, for an immersive high-resolution music playback experience. With multi-room/multi-zone management from mobile devices via a dedicated app, Prisma redefines how you interact with your music. In addition to features like AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, Roon Ready, and Spotify Connect, Prisma offers built-in Chromecast, enabling direct access to a variety of streaming services and increased ease of use through voice control. To enjoy these features, the Prisma upgrade requires the DM35 or DM36 DAC card.

Design Philosophy and Modular Approach

Primare’s design philosophy focuses on balance, harmony, and proportion. This philosophy manifests in the minimalist yet functional design of their products, which prioritizes the musical experience over technological complexity. Primare’s modular approach to product design allows for future upgrades and customization, ensuring their audio components can evolve with users’ needs.
