ULTIMA Integrated Amplifier Chord Electronics

Chord Electronics: well known Company for amplifiers introduce its Ultima series five years ago.
The founder/owner of the company John Franks has put his efforts introducing a full-width Ultima integrated amplifier for the first time setting up the new level of performance in one single amplifier.

The ULTIMA INTEGRATED integrated amplifier comes with the latest dual-feed topology with the power of 125-watt, Chord Electronics has famous ultra-high power supplies that work at very high frequencies, and their products have a unique industrial look.

John Franks founder, owner and chief engineer, The new Chord Electronics ULTIMA Integrated Amplifier, circuit monitors and automatically corrects audio signals before the output stage, for well balanced signal accuracy from a one-box integrated amplifier.

The ULTIMA INTEGRATED amplifier by Chord Electronics also has the latest developments in advanced low-distortion power supplies – The devices provide very little almost none background noise and work exceptionally well as amplifier, aiming to deliver even better sound quality.

The design of ultima integrated amplifier includes four input design: one fully balanced and three unbalanced. Each input has its own buffering and is protected against radio frequency interference. You can switch between inputs using sealed relays controlled by a microprocessor.

The ULTIMA INTEGRATED is the first new Chord Electronics integrated amplifier for seven years and remains at top position at the sole full-width integrated model in the range.

All the metal parts of the Ultima integrated amplifier are made with precision from strong aircraft-grade aluminum, and includes Chord Electronics’ distinctive Integra Legs. The front of the apmplifier has a thick 28-mm panel that looks perfectly aesthetic, with a round power switch in the center that lights up in different colors. There are also illuminated volume and balance controls on either side of the power switch.
