GARMIN REDEFINES LUXURY HOME AUDIO WITH THE PRIMACY SYSTEM

Published: October 9, 2026

DIGITAL INTEGRATION DRIVES A NEW ERA IN PREMIUM HI-FI PERFORMANCE

Taking the complexity and clutter of traditional energy-draining components out of high-end home audio installation, the Primacy® system by JL Audio® is a breakthrough in active sound design. It offers jaw-dropping performance and power handling with “room aware” technology that can be fine-tuned exactly for your individual listening environment. By combining amplification, signal processing, room optimization and speakers into one digitally controlled platform, the Primacy system makes exceptional audio reproduction far simpler for discerning listeners to access and enjoy.

Performance-driven Sound

Available with full-size T6 floor-standing, three-way tower loudspeakers or compact S3 stand-mount, two-way speakers, Primacy is a fully active, DSP-driven, network-integrated system. Each loudspeaker features multiple built-in amplifiers — one for each driver section — employing the most advanced JL Audio switching technology. A 32-bit/192 kHz triple-core digital signal processor provides precise control over crossover filters, equalization, timing, phase and driver dynamics. Plus, studio-grade Dante® networking technology is built into each Primacy speaker for pristine digital audio streaming directly to the speakers’ internal amplifiers. Power output capability is 400 watts RMS for the S3 speakers, while the T6 tower raises that figure to 1,000 watts RMS overall. Each Primacy speaker features a single-cast aluminum alloy enclosure with integrated internal bracing and woofer ports for tight resonance control and superior sonic performance. Available premium finishes let you customize the look of your Primacy speakers to complement the design of any room.

Centralized Centerpiece Control

The Primacy system is controlled via the CS centerpiece — an elegantly designed network streamer, preamplifier and room optimization processor that utilizes Dante networking to pair with your loudspeakers for a clear, high-resolution digital signal flow while streaming audio via a connected device. Audio signals are automatically adjusted to deliver the optimum sound for your listening environment, based on your room’s acoustics and your individual frequency response preferences. An included remote controller with Wi-Fi® connectivity lets you make selections from your listening chair. Or you can control system functions from virtually anywhere using the Primacy app on your compatible smartphone or computer.

Engineered for the next generation of hi-fi enthusiasts, the Primacy system makes the luxury audio experience a far more user-friendly proposition. To learn more, visit Garmin.com.
