The SC15 Prisma MK2 is a preamplifier from Primare, sharing chassis dimensions with the brand's CD15 Prisma, built with the Prisma streaming platform integrated into dedicated line-stage preamplification. The SC15 Prisma MK2 brings Primare's considered engineering to a comprehensive networked preamplifier.

Key specs that matter

Two single-ended inputs and one single-ended output are provided, a modest connectivity count reflecting this model's focus on network-based sources via the built-in Prisma platform rather than extensive analogue connectivity. At 350 x 73 x 329mm and 6kg, the SC15 Prisma MK2 shares chassis dimensions with several other Primare Prisma-equipped components.

Sound and use context

Expect the considered, musically engaging character Primare's broader Prisma platform is built around, applied here to preamplification with genuine network streaming built directly into the chassis.

Pairing

The built-in Prisma platform streams directly from compatible services, while the two analogue inputs accommodate additional physical sources, and Primare's own power amplifier catalogue offers natural companion components.

Alternatives

Primare's broader Prisma-equipped catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting network streaming integrated into a different component type.
