The T23 is a high performance FM Tuner designed to deliver high fidelity sound from radio broadcasts through the use of a discrete analog output stage and a linear power supply.

Intuitive user interface

 In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range of systems, the T23 can be controlled through an intuitive set of front panel buttons giving you direct access to the most commonly used functions such as tuning and station presets. A simple graphic display gives you guidance.
 Alternatively, all the functions of the T23 can be controlled by the optional C22 or C32 Remote Controls, along with the other Primare components in your system.
Although the T23 is flexible enough to work with virtually any other equipment you have in your system, it is ideal for use with the other products in the Primare range, such as the Primare I21 or I30 Integrated Amplifiers. A particular benefit of using the T23 with other Primare sources 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.

Outputs

The Tuner incorporates analog RCA outputs for interface to integrated amplifiers and preamplifiers. For the integration in home automation systems the T23 is equipped with an IR-input and the RS232 input.

Short and effecient signal paths

The analog circuitry consists of a DIR1703 digital receiver / filter. The conversion of the digital output from the tuner to analog signals is carried out by a PCM 1738 D/A converter. The current to voltage conversion stage consists of Burr-Brown OPA2134 high performance operational amplifiers and is finished in a single ended output stage consisting of a single MOSFET transistor together with an active current source instead of the use of passive resistors.

Clean power

The T23 incorporates a huge R-core transformer with separate windings for all the different  power requirements, such as the display, the analog audio circuits, the digital circuits and the tuner. Every one of these is individually regulated in a number of steps to ensure that enough power is constantly available.
The internal mains filter ensures that any high frequency disturbance that is present on the mains will be removed before it reaches the power transformer.

Careful design for operational stability
