Primare's Allt-i-Ett: A Single-Box Hi-Fi Revolution
Are you tired of a cluttered living room filled with amplifiers, streamers, and speakers? Well, get ready to be amazed by Primare's latest innovation. The Swedish audio brand has just unveiled the Allt-i-Ett, a high-end wireless speaker that promises to transform your hi-fi setup into a sleek, all-in-one solution.
This isn't your average speaker; it's a game-changer. The Allt-i-Ett is designed to replace an entire hi-fi rack with a single, powerful unit. And it doesn't compromise on sound quality. With a price tag of around $5,300, it's aimed at audiophiles who demand exceptional audio without the hassle of multiple components.
Under the sleek exterior lies a complex system. The Allt-i-Ett boasts an impressive ten drivers, including six woofers, mid-range units, and tweeters, all powered by a claimed 300 watts. This setup ensures a rich, immersive sound experience, and it can even function as a full stereo system on its own. For those seeking deeper bass, an optional subwoofer can be added for an even more impactful low-end response.
Connectivity is where the Allt-i-Ett truly shines. It offers a wide range of physical inputs, from USB-A and optical to HDMI eARC, analogue connections, and even a phono stage for turntable enthusiasts. But it doesn't stop there; wireless connectivity is equally impressive, supporting Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Qobuz Connect. This ensures you can stream music from virtually any source without a hitch.
The Allt-i-Ett also doubles as a versatile entertainment hub. Its HDMI eARC connection allows it to handle TV audio, making it a potential soundbar alternative. When paired with a subwoofer, it can even serve as a streamlined home cinema solution.
Controlling the Allt-i-Ett is a breeze. You can use the mobile app, a supplied remote, or the built-in touchscreen interface. The touchscreen display also provides access to advanced tuning options, such as multi-band equalisation, automatic room calibration, placement presets, and various spatial sound modes, ensuring you can tailor the sound to your preferences.
While the Allt-i-Ett is a premium product, it's not for bargain hunters. Instead, it caters to those who value simplicity and performance. It offers a compelling alternative to traditional hi-fi stacks and positions itself as a top contender in the luxury all-in-one audio market.
