ULTIMA Integrated Amplifier Chord Electronics
Chord Electronics: well known Company for amplifiers introduced its Ultima integrated series five years ago.
The founder/owner of the company John Franks has put his efforts into introducing a full-width Ultima integrated amplifier setting up a 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 no background noise and work exceptionally well as an amplifier, aiming to deliver even better sound quality.
The design of the ultima integrated amplifier includes four input designs: one fully balanced and three unbalanced. Each input has its 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 the top position as 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 include Chord Electronics’ distinctive Integra Legs. The front of the amplifier 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.
