Chord Ultima Integrated Amp - Black

The ULTIMA INTEGRATED is a class-leading 125-watt integrated amplifier benefitting from the latest dual-feed-forward error-correction topology^ Chord Electronics legendary proprietary ultra-high-frequency power supplies^ plus an unmistakable industrial aesthetic. Designed by Chord Electronics founder^ owner and chief engineer^ John Franks^ the advanced ULTIMA circuit monitors and immediately corrects audio signals before the output stage^ for astonishing signal accuracy from a one-box integrated device. The ULTIMA INTEGRATED also takes advantage of the very latest developments in advanced low-distortion power supplies devices offering exceptionally low noise and outstanding amplifier operation for even greater fidelity. A four-input design^ one fully balanced and three unbalanced^ all enjoy individual buffering and are selectively filtered against potential ingress from radio frequency interference; selection switching is via microprocessor-controlled sealed relays. The ULTIMA INTEGRATED is the first new Chord Electronics integrated amplifier for seven years and remains the sole full-width integrated model in the range. All metalwork is precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminium^ including Chord Electronics iconic Integra Legs. The fascia sports a 28-mm-thick front panel with a perfectly symmetrical aesthetic^ centered around a spherical power on/off control with polychromatic lighting^ flanked by illuminated volume and balance controls

All-new design:
A ground-up design integrated amplifier with the very latest technology^ circuit design and aesthetics. Pure analogue.

125 W into 8 :
A powerful full-width ULTIMA stereo integrated amp with 125 W into 8

Dual feed-forward error correction:
Incredibly fast^ dual-feed-forward error correction developed by Chord Electronics which monitors and immediately corrects signals before the output stage^ resulting in astonishing signal accuracy.

4x inputs (XLR and RCA):
One fully balanced and three unbalanced inputs for wide-ranging flexibility with a number of source components

AV bypass:
Input specifically for the addition of an AV processor/receiver to route signals directly to the preamps output^ bypassing volume control

Proprietary MOSFET output transistors:
Left and right channels behave identically. Close matching of our 16 proprietary MOSFET devices gives an overall better performance than off the shelf solutions

Pre-out:
Capable of adding another power amp if needed
