Product Description

The best integrated amp in its class just got better! By incorporating the best elements of the critically-acclaimed ProLogue One and Two, plus many of the ground-breaking features from the more advanced DiaLogue Series, the next generation ProLogue Premium Series, is an engineering marvel — a single, integrated amplifier that sets a new benchmark in high-performance audio with the following features:

  • Innovative, new Adaptive AutoBias circuitry. By simply flipping a switch, users can re-calibrate the amp for optimum operation of EL34s or KT88s. Every ProLogue Premium Series amplifier can be ordered with either set of power tubes installed. And remember, this circuit continuously monitors and adjusts each tube to run in its sweet spot. No biasing—ever!
  • Home theater pass-thru. Straight from the critically-acclaimed DiaLogue Series, this direct-line circuitry means less noise and coloration over unity gain circuits.
  • New output and power transformers. Modeled after those in the DiaLogue Series, these heavy-duty, high-efficiency transformers offer better control over challenging speaker loads, as well as increased detail and musicality.
  • New front-end circuitry. Optimized to use two 12AU7 tubes per channel. With the improved transformers, produces lower distortion.
  • Full-function remote. Slim, anodized aluminum remote, controls volume, mute, and source selection, as well as Play/pause and Stop/eject functions of the new ProLogue Premium CD Player.

Next, the ProLogue Premium Series introduces four innovative circuits that protect the amp at every level:

  • BTI-circuit. BTI stands for "Bad Tube Indicator." On the chassis’ deck in front of each power tube, is a small LED that lights up if the tube goes bad. This circuit works hand-in-hand with the new Adaptive Auto-Bias circuit.
  • PTP-circuit. If the power transformer should overheat, this "Power Transformer Protection" circuit cuts primary power, allows the amp to cool down, then resets itself.
  • OTP-circuit. The "Output Transformer Protection" circuit protects the output transformers in the event of a massive tube failure or user error.
  • +B relay. Replaces the plate fuse and works in conjunction with the OTP-circuit to protect the amp against tube failure. This method is less intrusive sonically and the relay resets itself once the faulty tube is replaced.

As with all PrimaLuna components, the ProLogue Premium Integrated is made by hand with the finest point-to-point wiring and quality equal to—or better than—any product you can buy at any price. Built using premium parts featuring: ceramic tube sockets; Solen and Nichicon capacitors; WBT-style solid core speaker terminals; ALPS Blue Velvet volume control; gold-plated RCA jacks; toroidal power transformer. All packaged in a high-gloss, hand-rubbed finish.

  1. What a revelation!

    Posted by Dr. Tashjian

    Right out of the box I knew this was a new experience for me after 10 years of solid state amplification. No more worries of tube trepidation; and the sound is sublime. Wow! Now after break-in, all the CDs, vinyl and HD FM are a joy to listen to. In particular, the palpable voices, instruments and ambience of the performances, especially some of my favorites: Mary Black, Holy Cole, Tony Bennett and the Gilberto family all are in the room. Orchestra's with Reiner, Schwarz and Hovaness are alive. With my previous very fine solid state amplifier (Anthem) I listened to only a select few of thousands of albums. Now I am trying to listen to everything (there isn't enough time in my life). These recordings now challenge the live performances I attend. The PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Integrated is the perfect match for the Golden Ear Triton Two Towers with the powered subwoofers and modified Heil driver and D'Appolito arrayed midranges. Just like Kevin Deal of PrimaLuna (Upscale Audio) stated, the ProLogue Premium is in a class with the multi-thousand dollar Wavac amp I used over ten years ago. But the PrimaLuna has foolproof user safeguards and convenience with continuous auto-bias for tubes (EL34x2, 12AU7x2), all transformers protection, tube usage wear indicator LEDs, excellent remote control and other technical advancements as well as superb build quality at an affordable price.. Getting back to the music, everything (even not well recorded material) sounds lifelike, believable and enjoyable. So I am back to listening more at home and avoiding high priced tickets, crowded venues, and bad driving and parking conditions. PrimaLuna may mean "first moon" like genius designer Mr. van den Dungen has named this little gem but to me it means the many moon's of the nights I will be listening to the best sound I have heard yet.
