Scandinavian Style
We believe that every aspect of our products - appearance, ease of use - contributes to the overall impression of choosing Primare products. All Primare components feature Scandinavian design characteristics - simple, elegant style with accessible and functional features.
An example of blending in and becoming unnoticed is embodied in the design of the NP5 Prisma - a harmonious combination of compactness and Scandinavian practicality - not too much, not too little, everything is balanced, harmonious, and proportional.
Modular Design and Building a System
The modular approach of Primare allows you to enjoy the most modern and extensive set of features. By updating the capabilities of their products, the company ensures the system's continued relevance in the future. The modular design is present in the I25 and I35 integrated amplifiers, as well as the PRE35 preamplifier, allowing you to complement them with DAC and Prisma modules, and in the CD35 compact disc player, which can be purchased with a Prisma module or added later. As a result of the carefully considered range of models and configurations, you can select a device that best suits your system's needs.
