These instructions help you get the best possible sound 

from your CD15.

Phase

The phase of the AC supply can make a significant 

difference to the sound.
Use the Polarity Pen supplied with the CD15 to verify 

which pin is live on your AC power cable.
Ensure that the live pin of the AC power cable is 

connected to the left-hand pin of the power connector, 

viewed from the back panel:

Live

Burn-in

Your Primare will start to sound best after an initial burn-in 

of approximately  hours. 
You will notice a further smaller improvement in sound 

quality for at least another  days’ playing.

RS232 and trigger

The RS input allows you to connect the CD15 to a 

controller system. Use a twisted (null modem) cable. For 

more information contact Primare at [email protected] or 

visit www.primare.net.
The Trigger output allows the CD15 to be switched on by 

other devices, such as an I15.

Using the CD15 with an I15

products together as follows using the two cables supplied 

with the CD15:
