About the R35
The Primare R35 is Primare’s most sophisticated MM/MC phono preamplifier, designed to deliver pure, honest sound from vinyl records. It serves as the ideal interface between low-level outputs from moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) cartridges and line-level inputs, featuring versatile RCA and XLR connections. Key highlights include a fully isolated power supply for ultra-low noise, extensive adjustable gain and loading options for optimal cartridge matching, a subsonic rumble filter, and solid-state circuitry for superior fidelity. Housed in a premium Scandinavian-designed chassis available in black or titanium finishes, it replaces the earlier R32 model with enhanced features like higher gain levels and more impedance settings.
