PRIMARE SP25 11.2 AV PRE-PROCESSOR

The SP25 Prisma is a multi-channel processor designed for both cinephile and audiophile, composed of carefully considered and crafted features and functionality to provide the best home cinema experience for the greatest number of people.

For the cinephile, the SP25 Prisma includes 4K dynamic HDR switching and eARC, with eleven channels of processing and preamplification supported by a custom linear power supply and tuned output stage to provide exemplary performance, particularly when paired with the award winning A35.8 and A35.2 amplifiers.

For the audiophile, dual eight channel DAC chips allow for a unique digital to analog conversion circuit allocating four channels of conversion when delivering signal to the pair of front left and right analog outputs perfect for bi-amping of the front left and right speakers for improved stereo performance.

For both cinephile and audiophile, Dirac Live® Room Correction utilises state-of-the-art, patented algorithms to analyse and digitally reduce the impact of the room, enhancing the performance of any audio system. Dirac optimises the sound not only with respect to frequency, but also to phase, providing not only linear frequency response but precise arrival time for both two and multi-channel listening with previously unheard detail and clarity.

Individualised control and connectivity is afforded by seventeen customisable input pre-sets for virtually any combination of digital and analog, video and audio input configurations, combined with five customisable speaker setup pre-sets for a variety of speaker and DSP configurations to suit any viewing and listening requirements. 

The SP25 Prisma has been honoured by the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) with the Best Product 2024-2025 home theatre processor award. This is the third year in a row that a Primare home theatre model has been so honoured, joining the SPA25 Prisma home cinema integrated amplifier and A35.8 eight channel fully bridgeable balanced input amplifier as EISA best product award winners.

“An ideal partner for Primare’s EISA Award-winning A35.8 multichannel power amplifier, the SP25 Prisma processor caters to immersive audio systems up to 11.2 channels. Aided by Dirac Live room correction below 500Hz (upgradeable to full-bandwidth if desired), it creates convincing Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundscapes with smooth highs, effortless dialogue reproduction, precise effects placement and deep, impactful bass. Music-friendly features include Primare’s Prisma streaming/radio platform and a USB DAC input, giving this neatly styled unit ‘all-rounder’ status. App control, extensive speaker/input preset configuration and the SP25 Prisma’s luxurious styling complete a great addition to Primare’s home theatre stable.” EISA Official Award Citation
