{"product_id":"chord-ultima-2","title":"Chord ULTIMA 2","description":"\u003ch2\u003e750 W monoblock from the Reference line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChord ULTIMA 2 is a mono power amplifier rated at 750 W RMS into 8 Ω, which becomes 1,305 W RMS into 4 Ω. Sold as a single unit: a stereo system needs two amplifiers. It is the direct replacement for the SPM 6000 MKII and is part of the Reference line, the flagship range from Chord Electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was introduced in 2019, during the company's thirtieth-anniversary celebrations, when the ULTIMA amplifier topology, which Chord names as its flagship technology, was applied to a new mono power amplifier. The manufacturer speaks of a unit brought up to date, carrying its most recent amplifier technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA chassis 75 cm deep\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dimensions say a lot about the design: with the included Integra legs the ULTIMA 2 measures 480 × 180 × 750 mm (W × H × D) and weighs 41.15 kg, drawing 3,000 W at full power. The chassis is solid aluminium and cooling is by convection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside are dual feed-forward error correction, a high-frequency switch-mode power supply and proprietary Chord MOSFETs, working in class AB with sliding bias on fully balanced circuitry. The stated output impedance is 0.04 Ω and the frequency response extends from 0.1 Hz to 200 kHz within 3 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePanels, inputs and finishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 28 mm fascia is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminium. The recessed spherical polycarbonate button lights up both in standby and in operation, and a switch hidden in the vertical split line allows the lighting to be dimmed. On the rear there are XLR and RCA inputs, each in inverting and non-inverting form, two pairs of terminals for bi-wiring, the 12 V trigger and a C-19 type IEC socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe available finishes are black (Jett Black) and silver (Argent Silver). The stackable Integra side legs are included and the manufacturer offers them in Jett Black, Argent Silver or Nickel; gloss black acrylic side blocks are available as an option, changing the dimensions to 420 × 150 × 750 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eType: mono power amplifier.
