The A10 is an integrated preamplifier and power amplifier with extraordinary
performance for its price.

High-performance power amplifier

The A10 incorporates a power amplifier providing 50 Watts per channel of
superb quality sound. An aluminium chassis gives excellent thermal dissipation
characteristics, ensuring that the A10 will remain cool even if you listen at high
volume levels.
Flexible inputs
The A10 preamplifier stage provides five inputs, to cater for a flexible range of
sources, and incorporates a full function tape monitor which allows you to
montitor the tape output while recording a source.
Modular construction
A switch on the rear panel allows you to separate the preamplifier and power
amplifier sections so they can be used as totally separate modules, using the
PRE OUT and MAIN IN sockets. This gives you the flexibility to integrate the
A10 with other equipment, such as a digital surround processor, as part of a
larger system.
Superb technical design
The A10 incorporates a classic circuit design based on J-FET input devices and
bipolar output devices, typical of far more expensive equipment, giving high
performance and excellent reliability.
Intuitive user interface
In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range of systems, the A10 can
be controlled through a very simple and intuitive set of front panel controls.
Alternatively all the functions of the A10 can be controlled by the C30 Remote
Control, along with the other Primare components in your system.
