Design Philosophy

Primare products are informed by our practical design approach, embodied by the Scandinavian design ideal of lagom – that sense of not too much or too little, but just right; everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.

SP25 Prisma Home Cinema Processor

The SP25 Prisma is a multi-channel processor designed for both cinephile and audiophile, composed of carefully considered and crafted features and functionality to provide the best home cinema experience for the greatest number of people.

For the cinephile, the SP25 Prisma includes 4K dynamic HDR switching and eARC, with eleven channels of processing and pre-amplification supported by a custom linear power supply and tuned output stage to provide exemplary performance, particularly when paired with the award winning A35.8 and A35.2 amplifiers.

For the audiophile, dual eight channel DAC chips allow for a unique digital to analogue conversion circuit allocating four channels of conversion when delivering signal to the pair of front left and right analogue outputs perfect for bi-amping of the front left and right speakers for improved stereo performance.

Prisma Network Player and Multi-Room Technology

Primare’s proven Prisma network player platform provides complete streaming features and functionality, as well as multi-room / multi-zone options, with AirPlay2, Bluetooth, Chromecast, Roon*, and Spotify Connect (HiFi ready).

With the associated Prisma application, combined with the onscreen setup menu, offering easy system customisation from the listening position. Additionally, Prisma provides comprehensive control of network connected hard drives, as well as embedded Prisma Radio, TIDAL HiFi*, and Qobuz* services for simplified access to these most used music sources.

* By future update, noting that Roon with AirPlay and Chromecast as endpoint is available now with Roon Ready by future update.

The Look and Feel of Scandinavia

Primare believe that every aspect of their products – the way they look, the satisfying feel of the controls – contributes to the overall experience of living with Primare. As a result, Primare products exude the hallmarks of Scandinavian design – simple, elegant designs, with approachable and easy to understand functionality.

An example of this is the idea of being inconspicuous, of not drawing undue attention, which is inherent in the compact physical design of the SP25 Prisma and elimination of unnecessary display and front panel controls.
