Primare I15 MM Integrated Amplifier and MM Phono Stage

The Primare I15 MM is an all-analogue integrated amplifier from Sweden's Primare 15 Series, delivering 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 100 watts into 4 ohms, with the MM15 moving magnet phono stage built in. It shares the same class-leading Hypex all-analogue Class D power module as the award-winning I15 Prisma, but without a digital conversion stage or network player to power, the supply is configured purely for analogue amplification, giving the I15 MM greater drive and detail as a result.

The compact three-quarter-sized cabinet follows Primare's design philosophy of lagom: not too much, not too little, everything in balance, proportion, and harmony. Five RCA analogue inputs, a dedicated phono input, a pre-amplifier output, RS232 control, a 12V trigger, and the C25 system remote make it a complete analogue hub for any living space. Reviewed in Hi Fi Choice, HiFi+, Alpha-Audio, and Music Emotion, it has consistently been recognised as one of the most musically satisfying integrated amplifiers available at its price point.

Why Consider the Primare I15 MM

The I15 MM is the right choice for listeners who want a single, well-built analogue amplifier that handles a turntable directly without an external phono stage. The MM15 module is pre-installed and performs to a standard that standalone stages at this price rarely match. The all-analogue signal path delivers consistent bass control, an open midrange, and composed treble across any programme material. The pre-amplifier output provides a clear upgrade path to a separate power amplifier, and the 12V trigger integrates natively with the CD15 Prisma and other 15 Series components, making the I15 MM the natural centre of an expandable Primare system.

Ideal for

• Vinyl listeners wanting direct turntable connection without a separate phono stage
• Compact rooms where a full-width component is not practical
• Multi-source analogue setups with up to five line-level sources plus turntable
• Audiophiles building a Primare 15 Series system alongside the CD15 Prisma or R15
• Those planning a future upgrade to separate amplification via the PRE output
• Installations requiring RS232, 12V trigger, and IR in/out integration
