Equipped with audiophile reserves of clean power distributed across multiple supplies, the BD32 MKII will render spectacular detail and luminous colour from native 4K sources, and transform Blu-ray and DVD at four times the resolution of FullHD 1080p. You’ll love the fluid, naturally vibrant pictures generated by over eight million precisely defined pixels, and the explosive audio dynamics derived from multichannel film sound, CD, SACD, DVD-A discs and DSD files over USB and Windows SMB. Enjoy easy access to similarly enhanced media through wired or Wi-Fi networks (using an external USB dongle supplied), USB or DNLA (Digital Living Network Alliance) devices together with effortless operation via a clear and dimmable OLED display in tandem with our C24 system remote.

Updates are as intuitive. On initial set-up and connected to the internet via its LAN port, the BD32 MKII will automatically download the latest software from the Primare website. Further upgrades are easily completed via the set-up menu. The MKII’s beautifully understated design also offers deceptively wide range of connections for integration with home automation systems and control over additional components like home theatre projectors and screens.

The BD32 MKII will reveal the quality of your audio and video entertainment more vividly than ever before, and supply the reassurance of superior design, material specification and functional simplicity for which Primare is world renowned. For the perfect union of sound and picture in the classic Primare style, introduce the BD32 MK II to the SP33 and A30.7 or the SPA23 and A34.2. All models are available in luxury brushed black or titanium.

HiVi Best Buy in Japan
The BD32 universal player is a Best Buy in Japan, despite its luxury price! Japanese magazine HiVi was so impressed, it ranked the BD32 1st in a test of players published in its Winter 2012 issue.

BD32 is 'Product of the Month'!
"...Ultimate Universal Disc Player..."
All but a select few products make it to the audio pages of the UK's leading classical music title 'Gramophone'. The BD32 has gone further in achieving the distinction of being Gramphone’s ‘product of the month’.

Audio Editor Andrew Everard says “It's a chunky piece of equipment, built in cool metal in that very Scandianvian, very Primare fashion...And where it counts - on sound quality - the Primare has everything going for it, whether one plays concert or opera Blu-ray discs with DTS-HD or Dolby HD soundtracks, one of the growing range of audio-only Blu-ray discs, SACD titles or even CDs.

"This is a player capable of thunderous bass weight allied to as much agility and low-end speed as anyone could ever want, a treble fully able to make the most of the extended frequency range available on higher resolution discs without ever becoming hard or strained, and the most appealing midband, combining expression and openness with a beautifully natural flow.

"Put simply, this is a multiformat player more than capable of holding its own against the very best dedicated SACD and CD hardware, and requiring no allowances to be made for the wide range of material it can handle.”
