Five years after the ULTIMA series was introduced, founder John Franks has brought its technology into a full-size integrated model for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChord Electronics points out that this is its first new integrated amplifier for seven years and the only full-width integrated model in the range. The design, described as all-new, combines in a single chassis a remote-controlled preamplifier section and a power stage built on proprietary MOSFETs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCircuit, power supply and inputs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe circuit is the dual feed-forward error-correction topology designed by John Franks, the company's founder, owner and chief engineer: it monitors the audio signal and corrects it immediately, before the output stage. Power comes from the ultra-high-frequency switch-mode supplies developed in-house by Chord, and the circuitry is fully balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are four inputs, one balanced XLR and three unbalanced RCA: each has its own buffer stage and is selectively filtered against radio-frequency interference. Switching is handled by sealed relays under microprocessor control. A balanced XLR AV bypass input, a stereo XLR output and a 12 V trigger socket usable as input or output complete the connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSymmetrical fascia and aluminium chassis\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll metalwork is precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminium, Integra legs included. The 28 mm thick front panel has a symmetrical layout: in the centre the power sphere with polychromatic lighting, on either side the illuminated volume and balance controls. The top light ring is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Integra side legs are included and give a footprint of 480 × 130 × 380 mm (W × H × D). Gloss black acrylic side blocks are available as an option, changing the size to 430 × 110 × 380 mm, although the unit can then no longer be stacked; among the options the manufacturer also lists Integra legs in Jett Black or Argent Silver. Weight is 14.75 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOutput power: 125 W into 8 Ω.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInputs: 1 stereo balanced XLR, 3 stereo unbalanced RCA, 1 stereo balanced XLR AV bypass.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOutputs listed by the manufacturer: 1 stereo XLR.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTrigger: 1 × 12 V socket, input\/output.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 10 Hz - 200 kHz, ±3 dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion: 0.01 % from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: 90 dB on all inputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eChannel separation: 100 dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 100 kΩ.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaximum voltage: 3 V RMS input, 35 V RMS output.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eGain: 21 dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePower supply: 80-250 V AC, auto-switching; consumption 200 W.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDimensions with the included Integra legs: 480 × 130 × 380 mm (W × H × D).\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDimensions with the optional side blocks (not stackable): 430 × 110 × 380 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeight: 14.75 kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFinishes: black or silver.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncluded: 10 A IEC mains cable, IR system remote control, 2 AAA batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chord Electronics Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Nero","offer_id":56561706074456,"sku":"CHOELEULTIMAINT-B","price":11917.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":56561706107224,"sku":"CHOELEULTIMAINT","price":11917.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5278\/7645\/files\/Chord-Ultima-Integrated-Front.webp?v=1768829090","url":"https:\/\/videosell.de\/products\/chord-ultima-integrated","provider":"Videosell store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
