These instructions help you get the best possible sound 

from your SC15.

Phase

The phase of the AC supply can make a significant 

difference to the sound.
Use the Polarity Pen supplied with the SC15 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 SC15 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 SC15 to switch on other 

devices, such as a DD15.

Using the SC15 with a DD15

Your SC15 is an ideal companion to the Primare DD15 

CD Transport. For best results link the two products 

together as follows using the two cables supplied with the 

SC15:

to connect the trigger cable

The Trigger cable ensures that the DD15 switches on, or 

to standby, when you operate the 

O

 button on the front 

panel of the 

SC15.

Connect the Trigger cable from the SC15 TRIG OUT to 

the DD15 TRIG IN.
