PRE 60
The PRE60 is a reference audiophile preamplifier designed to complement all high-end power amplifiers but chiefly as a companion to its matching A60 UFPD power amp. With these new components Primare reclaims its presence in the high-end music system market, reprising the iconic designs of previous decades with ravishing new separates, complete with state-of-the-art audio streaming performance and striking two-tone bodywork.
The PRE60 features the comprehensive OLED display and control parameters established by the EISA award-winning I32 integrated amplifier. It is housed in a heavy gauge alloy steel chassis (15mm front panel), and incorporates two pairs (L/R) of low-noise balanced XLR inputs, four pairs of RCA inputs, RS232, trigger and IR inputs. There are two pairs of RCA outputs and two pairs balanced XLR outputs, as well as a record output.
The PRE60’s integrated DAC/media board offers MEDIA/streaming connections such as USB, iPod, LAN etc. It provides up to 24 bit/192 kHz streaming of files from Internet, NAS or PCs, as well as Internet radio content and also a digital audio input from a range of devices including CD players, smart phones, personal players, sat boxes etc. Input/outputs include 3x optical, 1x SP/DIF, USB-A, USB-B, WLAN, LAN inputs (incorporating an asynchronous master clock for low jitter), and a Digital (192 kHz) output. In addition there is a high quality easy-to-install aptX Bluetooth upgrade for the PRE60, which takes the form of a small internal circuit board and external antenna (for improved reception). The threaded antenna input uses a vacant (pre-prepared) portal on the back panel of the PRE60.
