I15 Analog Integrated Amplifier User Guide

Additional information

These instructions help you get the best possible sound from your I15.

Phase

The phase of the AC supply can make a significant difference to the sound.

Use the Polarity Pen supplied with the I15 to verify which pin is live on your AC power cable.

Ensure that the live pin of the AC power cable is connected to the left-hand pin of the power connector, viewed from the back panel:

Burn-in

Your Primare will start to sound best after an initial burn-in of approximately 24 hours.

You will notice a further smaller improvement in sound quality for at least another 3 days’ playing.

RS232 and trigger

The RS232 input allows you to connect the I15 to a controller system. Use a twisted (null modem) cable. For more information contact Primare at info@primare.net or visit www.primare.net.

The Trigger output allows the I15 to switch on other devices, such as a CD15 Prisma.

Using the I15 with a CD15 Prisma

Your I15 is an ideal companion to the Primare CD15 Prisma CD Player. For best results link the two products together as follows using the two cables supplied with the I15:

To connect the trigger cable

The Trigger cable ensures that the CD15 Prisma switches on, or to standby, when you operate the  button on the front panel of the I15.
