Key features:
Compact Scandinavian design
The I15 Prisma MK2 follows Primare’s Scandinavian design philosophy of balance, proportion and simplicity. Its compact 350 mm-wide cabinet is smaller than a conventional hi-fi component while retaining premium construction, intuitive controls and a clear OLED display.
The Silver finish provides a bright and contemporary appearance, while the Black finish offers a more discreet presentation that blends naturally into home cinema and modern audio installations.
Powerful Hypex amplification
The specially developed Hypex UCD102 output stage delivers 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 100 watts per channel into 4 ohms.
A dedicated switch-mode power supply and carefully designed analogue input stage provide controlled, dynamic and detailed reproduction, with sufficient power to drive a wide range of quality loudspeakers.
ESS high-resolution DAC
The integrated ESS ES9028Q2M 32-bit DAC uses HyperStream technology for precise conversion of digital sources.
USB-B playback supports PCM signals up to 384 kHz/32-bit and DSD256, making the amplifier suitable for high-resolution music libraries and computer-based audio systems.
Prisma streaming platform
Prisma provides wired and wireless access to stored and streamed music. The platform supports AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, DLNA/UPnP and Roon Ready operation, together with control through the Primare Prisma application.

Flexible connectivity
The I15 Prisma MK2 accommodates analogue and digital sources through stereo RCA, 3.5 mm analogue/digital, three optical TOSLINK inputs, one coaxial digital input, USB-A, USB-B and Ethernet.
A variable stereo RCA output allows connection to a power amplifier, active subwoofer or another compatible audio component. A coaxial digital output is also provided.
Stereo and home cinema integration
Selected inputs can be configured as fixed-level home cinema passthrough connections, allowing the I15 Prisma MK2 to power the front speakers of a combined stereo and home cinema installation.
RS232, IR input/output and a 12 V trigger output facilitate integration into advanced residential control systems.
