ULTIMA Unleashed: Chord’s Flagship Series Redefines High-End Amplification
Posted by The Sound Organisation on Sep 24th 2025
The ULTIMA series from Chord Electronics isn’t just another step forward in hi-fi amplification—it’s a full-blown leap into the future of ultra-high-performance audio. Born from over three decades of British engineering excellence, the ULTIMA range sets a new benchmark in both design and sound, marrying raw power with precision clarity in a way that’s nothing short of breathtaking.
At the heart of the lineup is the ULTIMA PRE, a beautifully crafted, dual-mono preamplifier built to the highest standards. Its ultra-low noise floor, fully balanced architecture, and EQ flexibility make it an ideal control hub for any elite system. It’s meticulously hand-built, shielded from interference, and wrapped in aircraft-grade aluminum for both aesthetic appeal and acoustic integrity.
Paired with the ULTIMA mono power amplifiers, the result is pure sonic authority. These beasts deliver massive headroom and dynamic punch with finesse, thanks to Chord’s advanced dual-feedforward topology and an output stage capable of delivering over 2,500 watts into 2 ohms. Whether you’re pushing the limits of full-range floorstanders or unlocking micro-detail in delicate recordings, the ULTIMA amps do it all with grace, grip, and jaw-dropping realism.
This is high-end audio without compromise—designed for the most discerning listeners who want nothing between them and the music.
