primare spa22 ampThe Primare SPA22 is a 5x120W integrated A/V amplifier and digital controller and is the natural successor to the award-winning SPA21, which was recognised around the world for its ease of use and ‘hi-fi’ sound quality. As the first of a new generation of Primare home entertainment products however, the SPA22 represents a considerable evolutionary advance in terms of design, performance, user flexibility and versatility.
SPA22 is a surround processor and amplifier which is able to further upgrade, with a plug-in board option that allows you to prolong its use in your home before you ditch it for a better model.

The new SPA-22 combines the advanced control flexibility and upgradable topology of the SP32 with five discrete channels of amplification rated at 120W each. The amplifiers are of a new type of purified Class D/switch-mode design.

The Primare SPA22 provides three switchable HDMI v1.3 inputs and a single HDMI output for audio and video, incorporating a user-selectable audio processing and bypass function. HDMI v1.3 capability is significant because it carries uncompressed multi-channel PCM audio from a Blu-ray player to the SPA22’s DACs and beyond to the amplifiers and loudspeakers.
