I21 AMPLIFIER USER GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Primare I21 Integrated Ampli er! This chapter
introduces you to its key features, and explains how you can
take advantage of its superb sound as the key component in
your hi- system.
Welcome to the I21 Integrated Ampli er
The I21 is an integrated preampli er and power ampli er
with extraordinary performance for its price.
High-performance power ampli er
The I21 incorporates a power ampli er providing 75 Watts
per channel of superb quality sound.
Flexible inputs
The I21 preampli er stage provides four inputs, labelled
CD, TUNER, LINE 1, and LINE 2, to cater for a  exible
range of sources.
Fixed and variable outputs
The currently selected source is provided on two pairs of
line-level outputs, for connecting the I21 to other equip-
ment. The TAPE OUT sockets are independent of the posi-
tion of the volume control, and allow you to connect the
I21 to a tape recorder. The PRE OUT sockets are controlled
by the volume control, and can be used to connect the I20
to another output stage.
Superb technical design
The I21 incorporates a classic circuit design based on J-FET
input devices and bipolar output devices, typical of far more
expensive equipment, giving high performance and excellent
reliability.
Intuitive user interface
In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range of sys-
tems, the I21 can be controlled through a very simple and
intuitive set of front panel controls.
Alternatively all the functions of the I21 can be controlled
by the C22 Remote Control supplied with the I21, along
with the other Primare components in your system.
