Know before you buy
The I25 is built to grow with your needs. You can purchase the base analog amplifier now and later install the DM36 DAC module for digital inputs or the SM35 Prisma module to add network streaming and multi-room capabilities.
UFPD 2 is Primare’s proprietary Class-D technology designed to provide a very fast, clean, and agile sound. It maintains high power efficiency while ensuring the audio remains detailed and controlled across the entire frequency range.
With 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 200 watts into 4 ohms, the I25 is capable of driving a wide variety of high-quality bookshelf and floorstanding speakers with ease and authority.
No, the standard I25 comes with five analog RCA inputs but does not include a built-in phono stage. You will need to use an external phono preamplifier if you intend to connect a turntable.
Not at all. The interface is designed with Scandinavian simplicity in mind, focusing on intuitive operation. Once your sources and speakers are connected, the system is straightforward to navigate and use daily.
While the modules are designed for integration, Primare recommends that the installation of the DM36 or SM35 modules be performed by an authorized dealer or qualified technician to ensure proper configuration and warranty compliance.
