Design Brief
SP33 Pre-Amplifer/Surround Processor
6 pages
Introduction
The SP33 is an audiophile balanced eight channel pre-amplifier/processor featuring full
RS-232 control, comprehensive video switching via 1.4 compliant HDMI and powerful
custom configuration. It is the natural successor to the successful SP32, which was
recognised around the world for its high performance and innovative user interface. As
the first of a new generation of Primare home entertainment products however, the
SP33 represents a considerable evolutionary advance in terms of design, performance,
user flexibility and versatility. It offers a truly modular design platform, which allows for
entire audio, video and control sections to be upgraded easily by superior Primare
versions of the latest technologies.
Modular Design
The SP33's comprehensively shielded heavy-duty steel chassis houses a newly
developed modular design that allows for DSP, video and connections to be upgraded
easily with proprietary Primare boards, incorporating thoroughly evaluated and
optimised versions of the latest technologies and connectors.
In every instance we have taken special care to keep signal paths short and layouts
uncomplicated. Together with high performance FFC-wiring, these techniques give the
unit an extremely high performance and the highest possible signal-to-noise ratio. The
finest audio grade semiconductors and capacitors have been used whenever possible. All
parts that are known to interfere with each other are isolated by shielding, dedicated
signal paths and power supplies.

  • Page 2 SP33’s functions can be controlled in three ways: from the front panel, IR or RS232. Inputs/Outputs The SP33 has five HDMI v1.4 inputs and two HDMI v1.4 outputs for audio and video, incorporating a user-selectable audio processing and bypass function (see Technical Information).
  • Page 3 Five HDMI inputs, two HDMI outputs (not simultaneous): the user selects which output to use (1 or 2). HDMI Audio support, user selectable feature to have the audio processed by the SP33 or forwarded to the TV. Setup menu available on either HDMI output (not at the same time)
  • Page 4 DSP processor. A user selectable bypass function for HDMI audio is also available, telling the SP33 either to process or forward HDMI audio to a display device. A user-configured default function addresses any other audio input source, if there is no signal on the defined HDMI input.
  • Page 5 In order to achieve the best possible signal-to-noise ratio for both audio and video circuits, the power supplies in the SP33 are designed entirely in the linear domain. To save power, the SP33 uses two separate power supply circuits: a small perfectly-tuned...
