presence of uninsulated 'dangerous voltage' within the
product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the product.
1. Take heed of warnings & instructions
You should read all the safety and operating instructions
before operating this appliance. Retain this handbook
for future reference and adhere to all warnings in the

Take care that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled
into the enclosure through any openings. Liquid-filled objects
such as vases should not be placed on the equipment.
4. Ventilation
Do not place the equipment on a bed, sofa, rug or similar
soft surface, or in an enclosed bookcase or cabinet, since
ventilation may be impeded. We recommend a minimum
distance of 50mm around the sides and top of the
appliance to provide adequate ventilation.

Locate the appliance away from naked flames or heat
producing equipment such as radiators, stoves or other
appliances (including other amplifiers) that produce heat.
6. Climate
The appliance has been designed for use in moderate
climates.
7. Racks and stands
Only use a rack or stand that is recommended for use with
audio equipment. If the equipment is on a portable rack it
should be moved with great care, to avoid overturning the
combination.
8. Cleaning
Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning.
The case should normally only require a wipe with a soft,
damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use paint thinners or other
chemical solvents for cleaning.
We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays or
polishes as they can cause indelible white marks if the unit
is subsequently wiped with a damp cloth.
9. Power sources
This appliance must be connected to a mains socket
outlet using the supplied power cord. To disconnect
this apparatus from power, you must disconnect the
power cord. Make sure the power cord is always easily
accessible.
Only connect the appliance to a power supply of the type
described in the operating instructions or as marked on
the appliance.
This is a Class 1 device and must be earthed.
The power switch is a single-pole switch. When the switch
is in the “Off” position, the appliance is not completely
disconnected from the main power.
10. Power-cord protection
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them, paying particular attention to cords and
plugs, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
11. Grounding
Ensure that the grounding means of the appliance is not
defeated.
12. Power lines
Locate any outdoor antenna/aerial away from power lines.
13. Non-use periods
If the unit has a stand-by function, a small amount of
current will continue to flow into the equipment in this
mode. Unplug the power cord of the appliance from the
outlet if left unused for a long period of time.

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Cet appareil est conforme à la section 15 des
réglementations de la FCC. Le fonctionnement de
l’appareil est sujetaux deux conditions suivantes :
1. cet appareil ne doit pas provoquer d’interférences
néfastes, et

y compris celles qui risquent de provoquer un
fonctionnement indésirable.
Note: This product has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This product generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this product does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Please take attention that changes or modification
not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your
body .
Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé à une distance
minimale de 20 cm entre le radiateur et votre corps.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. this device may not cause interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie
Canada applicables aux appareils radioexempts de
licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes :
1. l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
2. l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter
may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference
to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada,
le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une
antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le
but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique
à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type
d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité
nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication
satisfaisante.
The CE symbol indicates that this Primare product
complies with the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
and LVD (Low Voltage Directive) standards of the

Congratulations on selecting the DM35
DAC Module
This user guide describes the additional features available
from the DM35 and explains how to set it up so you
can enjoy superb sound reproduction from your digital
sources.
For additional support and assistance please contact your
local authorized Primare dealer, or visit our website at
www.primare.net.
Back-panel connections
The following diagram explains the function of each of the
connectors on the back panel:
Digital inputs
The DM35 adds seven inputs. Initially these are labelled
as shown in the following table, but you can give them
your own aliases to suit the sources in your system.
Label Description
D6–D9 Digital optical on TOS connectors.
D10, D11 Digital coax on RCA connectors.
PC/MAC (12) Digital on USB-B connector.
Connect digital optical sources to the digital optical
l
inputs D6 to D9 using optical cables.
Connect digital coax sources to the digital coax inputs
l
D10 and D11 using digital RCA cables.
Digital output
The DM35 provides a coax digital output on an RCA
connector.
Using the settings menus
The DM35 adds the following menus to the settings
menus.
AUDIO SETTINGS
The DM35 adds a DIGITAL OUTPUT option to the AUDIO
SETTINGS menu:
AUDIO SETTINGS 20
MAXIMUM VOLUME 99
MUTE VOLUME 0
DIGITAL OUTPUT 48kHz
DIGITAL OUTPUT
Allows you to choose the sample rate for analogue inputs
on the digital output as 96kHz (default) or 48kHz. For
digital inputs the output format is the same as the input.
STANDBY SETTINGS
The DM35 adds a STANDBY MODE option to the
STANDBY SETTINGS submenu on the GENERAL SETTINGS
menu:
STANDBY SETTINGS 20
STANDBY MODE NORMAL
AUTO STANDBY AFTER 20MIN
STANDBY MODE can be set to ECO to reduce the standby
consumption to less than 0.5W, but only allows the
product to wake from the analogue and digital inputs,
or NORMAL which also allows the product to wake from
streaming and the PC/MAC input.
