Power amplifiers stereo — Chord BERTTI

The BERTTI is a distinctive stereo power amplifier from Chord Electronics, built with a substantial input impedance in a remarkably slim chassis. The BERTTI brings Chord's uncompromising engineering to a space-efficient power amplification format.

Key specs that matter

Input sensitivity is 780mV, with input impedance at a substantial 100,000 ohms on both connections. Output power is 75W into 8 ohms. Gain is 30dBu. Frequency response spans 5Hz to 100,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 87dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.008% at 100% global feedback. Maximum power consumption is a modest 240W. At a remarkably slim 590 x 235 x 256mm and just 3.75kg, the BERTTI maintains a space-efficient, lightweight power amplifier chassis.
