Primare Allt-i-Ett, all-in-one Hi-Fi, multiroom and 3D audio Bacch

Presented as a single unit combining a high-resolution network player, 300W amplification, and a true stereo speaker system, the Primare Allt-i-Ett was designed as a refined alternative to soundbars. Its creator promises premium Hi-Fi sound reproduction for both music and movies, with advanced DSP, automatic calibration, and integration of Bacch 3D spatial audio processing. As a reminder, this latter technology is the work of Professor Edgar Choueiri of Princeton University and is marketed by his company, Theoretica Applied Physics. According to Primare, it is capable of delivering an immersive stereo experience approaching multichannel sound.

All-in-one Primare Allt-i-Ett: streamer, amplifier and built-in speakers In a chassis 69 cm wide and weighing 16 kg, the all-in-one Primare Allt-i-Ett includes a Prisma network player with UPnP (DLNA) audio gateway functionality, direct access to Qobuz and Tidal Max services, Spotify Connect, Qobuz/Tidal Connect, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth 5.0 (SBC, AAC, APT-X, APT-X HD), an FM/DAB+ tuner and a Phono MM input for the turntable. The whole thing is combined with a fixed touchscreen and a second motorized screen that rises to display sources and metadata, complemented by a Prisma remote control capable of also controlling the TV via HDMI (eARC/CEC). Of course, the Prisma app is also available for control from an Android, iOS or iPadOS device.

All-in-one Primare Allt-i-Ett: a true Hi-Fi speaker, not just a soundbar ££££ Acoustically, Primare hasn't done things halfway: the Allt-i-Ett integrates six 10cm woofers (front, rear and downwards), two 10cm midranges and two 20mm waveguide tweeters, all powered by a 300-watt digital amplifier. The stated objective is to offer ample bass, a wide soundstage and dynamics close to a separate Hi-Fi system, with the added benefit of a subwoofer output featuring true bass management to support a subwoofer in large rooms.

All-in-one Primare Allt-i-Ett: complete DSP, calibration and spatial audio Bacch 3D££££ The digital signal processing offered by the Primare Allt-i-Ett promises to be particularly advanced: choice of placement (open field, near a wall, in a corner), 11-band graphic equalizer and Room EQ calibration via the Prisma app (integrated microphone on iOS or external Zen microphone on Android). A key distinguishing feature of the Allt-i-Ett is its Bacch spatial audio mode, designed to create an immersive 3D soundstage by manipulating crosstalk between channels to better reveal the spatial acoustic cues of recordings (echoes, reverberations, ambient noise, etc.) in order to perceive the space and depth of the soundstage. All-in-one Primare Allt-i-Ett: comprehensive connectivity and high-resolution multimedia. The connectivity is on par with the Primare Allt-i-Ett's features: HDMI/eARC/CEC input (already mentioned for TV), two optical inputs, one coaxial input, and a 3.5 mm mini-jack headphone output (30 mW into 32 ohms). A USB-A port accepts flash drives or hard drives up to 2TB (Fat32, exFat, NTFS) and handles PCM files up to 768kHz/32-bit and DSD files up to DSD512 (22.6MHz). For networking, the Allt-i-Ett features dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and a 10/100Mbps Ethernet port for secure Hi-Res Audio streaming. An APTX Bluetooth transmitter for wireless headphones completes the package for nighttime listening, for example. All-in-one Primare Allt-i-Ett: lagom, hygge, and multiroom setup. With the Allt-i-Ett, Primare showcases a distinctly Scandinavian philosophy: a quest for balance (lagom) and shared comfort (hygge), with a device designed to integrate seamlessly into the living room, kitchen, or bedroom. The all-in-one format, dual interface (touchscreen + Prisma app), and support for major streaming services aim to make access to high-fidelity as simple as possible for all members of the household, without the need for multiple devices and cables.
