Primare A35.8

Primare A35.8 – Eight-channel balanced multi-channel amplifier

Primare A35.8 is a powerful and versatile multi-channel amplifier designed to meet the needs of virtually any high-performance multi-channel system. With its elegant design and advanced technology, the A35.8 is an excellent solution for anyone seeking the best possible sound reproduction in their stereo or home theater system.

The A35.8 can deliver up to 8 x 150 watts into 8 ohms and 8 x 300 watts into 4 ohms, making it capable of handling even the most demanding 5.1, 7.1, and 5.1.2 systems. If you want to use it in a stereo configuration, it delivers 2 x 200 watts into 8 ohms as well as 2 x 400 watts into 4 ohms, providing powerful and precise sound reproduction even at high volume levels. If only the most powerful configuration is good enough for you, a fully bridged A35.8 delivers a full 4 x 375 watts or 2 x 750 watts. If you want to take it even further, it can deliver 2 x 1500 watts in a fully bridged bi-amped stereo configuration. With the A35.8, you get the freedom to choose exactly which configuration best suits your needs and preferences. Use the A35.8 in an 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2-channel configuration - it’s up to you.

To ensure the best sound quality in any configuration, the A35.8 is equipped with a range of features and technologies that improve sound reproduction and provide more precise control over the amplifier. These include Primare's own UFPD 2 technology, which delivers efficient, precise, and detailed sound reproduction, as well as balanced XLR inputs and outputs that reduce noise and distortion in the signal.

Advanced Class D amplifier

Primare A35.8 is equipped with an advanced circuit design that ensures minimal distortion and maximum signal integrity. Primare's own UFPD 2 technology (Ultra-Fast Power Device) eliminates almost all distortion and noise, while the advanced ventilation and cooling system keeps the amplifier cool and at its optimal operating temperature.

The UFPD technology itself differs from traditional Class A, A/B, or D amplifiers in that it uses a Class D amplifier topology and adds a high-frequency modulator to reduce high levels of distortion. This means that UFPD-2 has very high efficiency of up to 90%, which means less power is used and the amplifier produces less heat. Another advantage of UFPD-2 is that it is also capable of delivering incredible current, even at low impedances, meaning it can drive even the most demanding speakers with ease.

UFPD technology also offers very high stability and reliability, as it is less sensitive to temperature changes and voltage fluctuations than traditional amplifiers. This means that UFPD amplifiers can deliver more precise and consistent performance regardless of external conditions. With UFPD-2 technology, however, Primare has raised the bar for what UFPD amplifiers can do, so they now deliver even better performance and far less distortion and noise.

A power supply that impresses

One of the most prominent features of the Primare A35.8 is its power supply. The cornerstone of the A35.8 is the largest power supply Primare has ever designed, and it is equipped with APFC and soft clipping circuits, which ensure stable and reliable performance even when pushed to its limits. The power supply also includes an innovative feature in the form of dual connection cables. These cables ensure that the four amplifier modules are supplied with much more direct and uniform power via the shortest possible path. This means you can expect more stable and consistent performance, as the amplifier modules receive the most efficient power delivery.

Ingenious circuit design

The amplifier stage in the A35.8 is another stroke of genius that deserves to be highlighted. The innovative circuit layout design ensures that the power supply delivers the most direct and even distribution of power to the amplifier modules mounted in the heatsinks, which isolate them from potential noise from the power supply. This pioneering construction also isolates the input and output stages from any noise that the amplifier modules may produce.

The input and output signals are routed to and from the amplifier module through a circuit board threaded through a channel in the heatsinks for the shortest possible signal path. This allows the signal to maintain its clarity and detail, as it is not disturbed by noise or interference from other sources. The A35.8's amplifier section is therefore capable of delivering precise and clean sound that reproduces music with the greatest possible accuracy, making it an ideal solution for even the most demanding listeners.
