Our 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.

For the cinephile, the SP25 Prisma includes 4K dynamic HDR switching and eARC, with eleven channels of processing and preamplification 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.

The Look and Feel of Scandinavia

We believe that every aspect of our 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.
