The Chord SPM 1050 MKII is a stereo power amplifier that combines a substantial output with a wide rated bandwidth. It is intended to drive both channels of a full two-channel system from a single chassis.

Key specs that matter

Rated output is 200 W into 8 ohms. The frequency response stretches from 0.2 Hz up to 46 kHz (+/-3 dB), with an 82 dB signal-to-noise figure. Balanced and single-ended inputs alike present 100,000 ohms. The case measures 133 x 420 x 355 mm and weighs 10 kg, which makes it compact and light for a 200 W design.

Pairing

Because the input impedance is high on either connection type, the amplifier can be driven by any modern preamplifier without gain-matching concerns.

Alternatives

Chord also makes the Ultima 6, another stereo power amplifier.
