Primare
A35.8 Stereo Power Amplifier
A35.8 – eight channel, fully bridgeable, balanced input power amplifier
Award winning power and flexibility
The A35.8 is Primare’s most powerful and flexible multi-channel amplifier, designed to serve the needs of virtually any high-performance multi-channel system through its ability for each pair of channels to be bridged to mono for an incredible level of power delivery and system building options, including 1500 watts of total output in a fully bridged bi-amped stereo configuration.
Power Supply
The foundation of the A35.8 is the largest power supply Primare has ever designed, incorporating APFC and soft clipping circuitry, implemented to ensure stable performance up to the very limits of its capabilities. Dual connecting cables from the power supply mean that each group of four amplifier modules are provided with more direct and consistent power delivery by the shortest power path.
Amplification Stage
The ingenious design of the A35.8 circuit
layout provides the most direct delivery and even distribution of power
from the power supply to the amp modules tucked into heatsinks that
isolate them from any power supply noise. In turn, this innovative
construction isolates the input and output stage from any noise the amp
modules might produce. Input and output signals are delivered to and
from the amp module through an uninterrupted ribbon of circuit board
threaded through a channel in the heat sinks for the shortest possible
signal path.
Key Features
XLR and RCA inputs for each of eight channels of amplification with 150 watts per channel output into 8 ohms, with a maximum output of 1500 watts.
Each pair of output channels can be bridged, allowing the amp to provide power to virtually any multi-channel speaker configuration, either on its own or with an A35.2 stereo amplifier.
For an extraordinarily powerful two-channel bi-amplified system, one fully bridged A35.8 delivers peak power of 4 x 375 watts or 750 watts per pair per channel.
Additional convenience features include auto-sense turn-on from standby and auto standby after an absence of input signal for twenty minutes which can be turned off allowing the A35.8 to remain on indefinitely if preferred.
The look and feel of Scandinavia
Primare believe that every aspect of their products – the way they look, the satisfying feel of the controls – contributes to the overall experience of living with Primare. As a result, Primare products exude the hallmarks of Scandinavian design – simple, elegant designs, with approachable and easy to understand functionality.
An example of this is the standby button discretely placed within the Primare logo on the faceplate of the A35.2 – or as they say lagom, not too much not too little, everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.
