The I35 Prisma is an integrated amplifier with built-in DAC and Prisma networked streaming from Primare, sharing the I35 DAC's staggering output power with the addition of network audio functionality. The I35 Prisma represents Primare's most accomplished current statement in integrated amplifier engineering.

Key specs that matter

Two balanced XLR inputs and three single-ended inputs are provided, matching the I35 DAC. Output power is 150W into 8 ohms, rising to 300W into 4 ohms, matching. At 430 x 106 x 420mm and 11kg, the I35 Prisma shares the I35 DAC's chassis dimensions and mass exactly, with the addition of Prisma networked streaming.

Sound and use context

Expect the accurate, minimalist character Primare's broader Scandinavian catalogue is celebrated for, with the staggering 300W-into-4-ohms output combined with the built-in DAC and Prisma streaming covering digital and network sources directly.

Pairing

The built-in DAC and Prisma networked streaming cover digital and network audio sources directly without needing separate outboard devices.

Alternatives

Primare's own I35 DAC offers a streaming-free alternative for buyers not needing that functionality within the same broader I35 catalogue.
