Primare MM15 Phono Stage for I15

The Primare MM15 is a high-quality, Moving Magnet (MM) phono preamplifier module designed specifically to unlock the analog potential of the Primare I15 Integrated Amplifier (MM version). This optional plug-in board transforms your modern, compact amplifier into a complete hub for vinyl playback. Engineered with Primare's signature attention to detail, the MM15 provides a quiet, accurate, and musical signal path, allowing you to connect your turntable directly to your I15 without the need for an external phono stage, keeping your system sleek, simple, and sonically pure.

Key Features:

• Seamless Integration: Designed exclusively to install internally within the Primare I15 Integrated Amplifier (MM version), preserving the unit's compact footprint.
• Moving Magnet Compatibility: Optimized for high-output Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges, the most common type found on modern turntables.
• Low Noise Design: Utilizes high-quality components and careful circuit layout to minimize noise and interference, essential for delicate phono signals.
• Plug-and-Play Installation: Easy to install, instantly adding a dedicated "Phono" input to your amplifier's source selection.
• Primare Sound Quality: Delivers the clean, detailed, and natural sound signature that defines the Primare brand.

A Perfect Fit for the I15

The I15 is a marvel of compact design, and the MM15 module respects that philosophy perfectly. Instead of adding another box, power supply, and set of cables to your rack, the MM15 installs directly inside the chassis of the amplifier. This internal connection ensures the shortest possible signal path and eliminates potential sources of hum and interference often found with external connections. It turns your I15 into a true all-in-one solution for both digital and analog music.

Moving Magnet Mastery

The MM15 is tuned to get the best out of Moving Magnet cartridges. With a standardized 47kΩ input impedance and 40.5dB of gain, it is compatible with a vast array of cartridges from brands like Ortofon, Audio-Technica, and Goldring. The RIAA equalization is precise and accurate, ensuring that your records sound balanced and true to the original recording, with a rich midrange and sparkling highs.

Silence is Golden

Phono signals are incredibly weak and susceptible to noise. The MM15 benefits from Primare's expertise in circuit design, using low-noise components and shielding to ensure that the background remains silent. This allows the subtle details and dynamics of your vinyl to emerge clearly, providing an engaging and fatigue-free listening experience that rivals many standalone budget phono stages.
