The I15 MM takes all the sonic goodness of Primare's I15 integrated amp and adds a built-in phono preamp to shine a light on your record collection. In designing their audio components, Primare prioritizes sound quality, but they also pay attention to the way they look and the feel of the controls. Primare components exude the hallmarks of Scandinavian design — everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.

A compact design with big, clean sound

Primare describes the "3/4-sized" I15 MM as an "all analog" integrated amplifier. That just means it doesn't include a built-in DAC for decoding digital music sources, the way Primare's I15 Prisma does. The rear panel provides five sets of stereo RCA inputs for your music sources, plus RCA outputs for connecting an additional amplifier, if needed.

If you're a recent convert to vinyl — or never stopped enjoying it — Primare's built-in MM15 phono stage works with moving magnet (MM) cartridges to complete your analog experience.

The amplifier section delivers 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and 100 watts per channel into 4 ohms. That's the rating in the owner's manual, anyway, but once you connect the I15 MM to your speakers, you'll swear the actual power output is higher.

Stylish sound from Scandinavia

Founded in Sweden in the mid '80s, Primare relies on a talented team of designers to create its innovative high-end audio components. Among audiophiles, their equipment is admired both for its exceptional sound quality and its elegant appearance.
