At just three-quarters the size of a standard component, it fits anywhere and does everything. Whether you're running a full separates system or building around a pair of powered speakers, the SC15 Prisma MK2 is built to serve as the digital heart of your setup, with rich analog output, network control, and the sonic precision Primare is known for.

Network Player and DAC Performance
Primare designed the SC15 Prisma MK2 to offer high-resolution audio playback without compromise. With an upgraded DAC, expanded connectivity, and smarter room correction tools, the MK2 version refines everything that made the original so versatile. From local files to Qobuz streams, everything passes through the ESS DAC with graceful musicality and low noise. Add in the new EQ functions, and this little player becomes a serious room-taming machine.
Compact Size, Full-System Potential
Despite its footprint, the SC15 Prisma MK2 is capable of anchoring a complete system. When set to variable output mode, it can feed a pair of powered speakers directly, wirelessly via WiSA or through RCA. Even in fixed mode, it integrates beautifully with separates as a digital front end that punches far above its size.
Multiroom Streaming and Control
Primare’s Prisma platform isn’t just a streamer. It’s a control hub. Through the Prisma app, you can access multi-room playback, zone grouping, and deep control over inputs, outputs, and filters. Chromecast built-in gives you access to hundreds of music apps, while Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 ensure compatibility with every device in the house. It’s audiophile-grade streaming that actually feels effortless.
Room EQ with Your iPhone
One of the smartest updates in the MK2 is the inclusion of automatic and manual EQ. Using your iPhone (or the optional Zen mic), the Prisma app maps your room by walking you through a guided sweep. It calculates where your speakers are fighting the room and applies filters to clean up the bass and flatten the frequency response. If you're picky, manual tweaks let you fine-tune it even further.
Design That Feels Just Right
Primare’s Scandinavian roots show in everything from the interface layout to the feel of the buttons. The matte chassis and understated controls look right at home in a modern living space, while the three-quarter width matches perfectly with other Primare 15 Series components. Every element is considered, clean, and built with a balance of form and function. What the Swedes call lagom.
Build a Compact Powerhouse
The SC15 Prisma MK2 pairs beautifully with other Primare components like the I15 integrated amp, R15 phono pre, or DD15 CD transport. Whether you’re chasing digital purity or crafting a full analog and digital rig in a smaller footprint, this unit belongs at the center of a well-thought-out system.
