The Primare AC Polarity Pen is a simple diagnostic tool used to verify that the AC power cable is oriented correctly for optimal audio performance. It is included with every current Primare product and is available separately as a replacement.
Correct AC polarity reduces the noise floor of audio components and can produce a measurable improvement in performance. This is particularly relevant in countries like India where the standard two-pin plug can be inserted in either orientation. ProHiFi is an authorised Primare dealer in India.
To use the pen, plug in and power on the Primare component. Touch the tip of the pen to the inside edge of the AC power cord plug where it connects to the component's AC socket. If the tip lights up, polarity is correct. If it does not, rotate the power plug 180 degrees in the wall socket and test again.

Why Consider the Primare AC Polarity Pen
The AC Polarity Pen is a practical, low-cost tool that addresses a genuine performance variable in any audio system. In countries where the power plug is non-polarised, simply reversing the plug orientation can audibly reduce hum and lower the noise floor. It works with any audio component from any brand, making it useful across an entire system. For Primare owners who have misplaced the pen that shipped with their component, this is the direct replacement.
Ideal for
- Primare owners needing a replacement polarity pen
- Any audiophile wanting to verify correct AC orientation across their system
- Indian installations using non-polarised two-pin power plugs
