SC15 Prisma MK2 System Control Center User Guide

  • Contents

    • Additional information

    These instructions help you get the best possible sound from your SC15.

    Phase

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

    Use the Polarity Pen supplied with the SC15 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 SC15 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 SC15 to switch on other devices, such as a DD15.

    Using the SC15 with a DD15

    Your SC15 is an ideal companion to the Primare DD15 CD Transport. For best results link the two products together as follows using the two cables supplied with the SC15:

    To connect the trigger cable

    The Trigger cable ensures that the DD15 switches on, or to standby, when you operate the  button on the front panel of the SC15.

    • Connect the Trigger cable from the SC15 TRIG OUT to the DD15 TRIG IN.

      Factory reset

      Press and hold the standby button on the front panel to display the main firmware version number.

      Press and hold the standby button on the front panel for 10 seconds to perform a factory reset of the SC15.

      You can also do a factory reset from the Prisma app, or from the GENERAL menu; see General menu.

      Network troubleshooting

      Front panel display

      The front panel display indicates the type of network connection:

      LAN indicates that you are connected by an Ethernet cable.

      The CON indicator on the back panel indicates the network status:
