WHAT YOU’LL LOVE

USER PROFILES

Fine-tune your audio experience based on your room’s acoustics, seating position and frequency response preferences.

HIGH-RESOLUTION CONNECTION

The stereo centerpiece connects to your compatible loudspeakers via Dante^® networking, preserving a high-resolution digital signal flow.

DEVICE STREAMING

Connect to your compatible smartphone or computer via Ethernet, Wi-Fi^® connectivity or Bluetooth^® technology, and stream audio from your favorite online sources.

ROOM OPTIMIZATION

When paired with your Primacy loudspeakers, you’ll get Primacy Automatic Room Optimization (P.A.R.O.), which measures and optimizes the entire system — as well as any additional powered subwoofers — for your room and listening position.

REMOTE CONTROLLER

Control the system from your listening chair via the included tabletop remote controller with Wi-Fi — or from anywhere with the JL Audio Primacy^™ app on your compatible smartphone or computer.

TURNTABLE-READY

Connect to your turntable with the built-in phono preamp. Plus, easily optimize the moving magnet and moving coil cartridge with the Primacy app.

CENTERPIECE DESIGN

SLEEK AND ELEGANT

The stereo centerpiece blends into its surroundings. It features a compact glass-wrapped enclosure with a self-dimming display.

OLED DISPLAY

A high-resolution OLED display shows the volume setting, selected source, profile and other system data.

TOUCH CONTROLS

When you approach the stereo centerpiece with your hand, a proximity sensor activates the display.

COOLING TECHNOLOGY

A sophisticated active cooling system quietly circulates air through critical areas.

DIGITAL AUDIO

HIGH-PERFORMANCE DSP

The stereo centerpiece employs a high-performance, triple-core DSP, operating at 32-bit/192 kHz audio resolution, matching the DSPs in each loudspeaker.

HDMI INPUT

You can connect all your sources and streaming services on your TV to the stereo centerpiece via a single HDMI cable with support for ARC/eARC.

OPTICAL DIGITAL INPUTS

Three optical inputs are provided, compatible with S/PDIF audio up to 24 bits/192 kHz.

USB-C^® CONNECTION

Connect your computer or other USB digital audio component to the stereo centerpiece’s universal plug-and-play USB-C connection.

ANALOG AUDIO

ANALOG INPUTS

Connect additional source components via 2 pairs of analog inputs, each precisely optimized via discrete circuitry to drive the stereo centerpiece’s dual-mono ESS analog-to-digital converters.

DISCRETE SIGNAL PATHS

The stereo centerpiece uses no op-amps or coupling capacitors in its analog signal paths — only highly optimized discrete circuitry.

ANALOG OUTPUTS

Connect 2 subwoofers or an external amplifier to the included analog outputs. Dual-mono ESS digital-to-analog converters drive these outputs for maximum performance.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE A/D CONVERTERS

A dual-mono pair of ESS analog-to-digital converters generate 32-bit/192 kHz digital audio streams for your Primacy loudspeakers (sold separately).

P.A.R.O. FEATURES

POWERFUL OPTIMIZATION

P.A.R.O. provides DSP optimization for each individual driver section of a Primacy loudspeaker (sold separately).

DUAL-FFT + DSP

Advanced analysis techniques conduct precise measurements in the frequency and time domain, allowing for DSP optimization of the passband and roll-off of each driver section.

TAILORED TO YOUR SPACE

Once the driver sections are optimized, the entire loudspeaker is measured and calibrated to reproduce the target response at your listening position.

CONNECT A SUBWOOFER

P.A.R.O. also includes any of your subwoofers connected to the stereo centerpiece for precise timing, impactful transients and seamless integration.

PHONO PREAMPLIFIER

HIGH-BANDWIDTH, LOW-NOISE DESIGN

The phono preamplifier in the stereo centerpiece delivers up to 70 decibels of gain and the low noise performance required for low-output, moving coil cartridges.

MADE FOR MOVING MAGNET CARTRIDGES

Optimize your moving magnet phono cartridge with 2 gain settings, 2 capacitive loading settings and 2 input grounding options, all adjustable via the Primacy app.

MADE FOR MOVING COIL CARTRIDGES

Optimize your moving coil phono cartridge with 3 gain settings, 12 resistive loading settings and 2 input grounding options, all adjustable via the Primacy app.

PASSIVE RIAA EQUALIZATION FILTERS

Separate low- and high-frequency passive networks perform RIAA equalization without altering gain or feedback in the amplifier circuits, maintaining accuracy to the RIAA spec within a fraction of a decibel.

SELECTABLE INFRASONIC FILTER

Using the Primacy app, you can seamlessly engage a 20 Hz infrasonic filter for improved playback of warped records.
