    Chord PRIMA

    The Prima preamp is characterized by excellent performance, the highest sound quality and a unique design characteristic of Chord Electronics products. Prima uses a so-called "double bus" Chord, which allows you to record one source while listening to another. The audio circuits are made in a fully symmetrical internal architecture.

    Chord ULTIMA PRE 2

    A distinctive feature of the model, in addition to the original design and the body carved from a solid aluminum billet, is the use of a switching power source of its own design, characterized by a vanishingly low noise level. Together with the selected analog components in the signal circuits, the ratio of the natural noise level in the preamplifier is no more than -130 dB.
