    The Network Player and Streamer for Everyone and Any System

    Designed to be small enough to slip inconspicuously into any system, NP5 Prisma MK2 has all the functionality found in Primare's award winning Prisma enabled models. It provides full network player technology to virtually any component with a digital input, both stereo and multi-channel, whether Primare or another brand.

    The NP5 makes it easy to stream hundreds of music services from the internet using familiar apps and devices, including high resolution platforms like Qobuz, Spotify, and Tidal HiFi. It offers full device optimization and control of network connected hard drives with the Prisma application.

    Advanced control options include digital output configuration, voice control, and sophisticated media management software with Roon. It also provides control of volume, mute, standby, and input selection of previous Primare models via RS232 connection.

    EISA Award Winner

    EISA, the Expert Imaging and Sound Association, honored the NP5 Prisma MK2 with the Best Product Award in the Streamer Category 2022-2023.

    "Primare's NP5 Prisma MK2 makes it easy to introduce streaming capabilities to any outboard DAC or other component with a digital input/DAC," notes EISA. "This well-priced device is based on the multiroom audio platform the Swedish brand utilises in even its most expensive hi-fi components, meaning there's slick control via the dedicated Prisma app, playback from local USB and networked storage, and streaming over Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, Chromecast and Roon."

    The Prisma Network and Multiroom Bundle of Technology

    The Prisma technology bundle was created to allow everyone in the household to explore, discover, and share the deeply satisfying experience of high-performance music playback - providing multi-room/multi-zone connectivity and control of stored and streamed media, whether wired or wireless, all managed from mobile devices with familiar streaming apps and a dedicated system control app.

    Every aspect of Primare products - the way they look, the satisfying feel of the controls - contributes to the overall experience. As a result, Primare products exude the hallmarks of Scandinavian design, featuring a simple, elegant look with approachable and easy-to-understand functionality.

    An example of this is the NP5 Prisma's compact size, which allows it to fit easily almost anywhere in your living space - or as they say in Swedish, lagom, meaning 'not too much not too little, everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.'
