Introduction

Welcome to the Primare T22 Tuner! This chapter introduces you to its key
features, and explains how you can use them to achieve superb sound quality
from your FM reception.

WELCOME TO THE T22 TUNER

The T22 is an advanced tuner for sophisticated systems that provides Primare
performance and build quality with an intuitive user interface. Every component
of the T22 Tuner has been designed to achieve the highest possible audio
performance.

Enjoy FM reception at its best

The T22 Tuner uses Primare’s proven design approach to guarantee the highest
quality sound across the entire FM bandwidth. With a good aerial, FM
broadcasts should give you close to CD quality sound.

Provides the latest Radio Data System features

The Primare T22 also provides all the benefits of the Radio Data System or
RDS, to display the station name, program type, and text information from the
tuned station.

No compromise power supply for the highest possible
performance

The T22 has three separate, regulated power supplies for ultra-low noise
operation. The result is extremely high signal to noise ratio, allowing you to
take full advantage of the dynamic range available from FM broadcasts.

Careful design for mechanical stability

As with all Primare units, the T22 Tuner is housed in an alloy, heavy gauge
steel chassis, which provides strength, rigidity, and screening, while being
effective at damping vibrations from external sources. The front panel design
isolates the display circuitry from the audio circuitry to avoid interference.

Intuitive user interface

In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range of systems, the T22 can
be controlled through a very simple and intuitive interface, designed so that it
will not distract you from the pleasure of listening to music on your system.

In fact most of the features of the T22 can be accessed through just seven front
panel push buttons. Alternatively, some of the functions of the T22 can be
controlled by the optional C22 or C32 Remote Control, along with the other
Primare components in your system.

Introduction

USING THE T22 TUNER WITH OTHER PRIMARE
PRODUCTS

Although the T22 Tuner is flexible enough to work with virtually any other
equipment you have in your system, it is ideally suited to use with the Primare
I30 Integrated Amplifier. A particular benefit of using the T22 with a Primare
preamplifer is that you can control your entire system with a single remote
control, to give you a fully integrated system with the simplest possible user
interface.
