Featuring unrivaled connectivity and minimal coloration, the Ultima PRE 2 from Chord Electronics can be the hub of your Hi-Fi system without taking anything away from the incoming signal. The fully modernized preamplifier is built to complement stereo systems of the highest order and represents the finest Chord Electronics engineering inside and out, the company says, adding that ”just as a preamplifier should, the Ultima PRE 2 adds nothing to the original waveform and instead preserves it with zero coloration.” This is thanks to their latest advances in switch-mode power supply design, developed from aerospace technologies, and their ultra-low-noise proprietary solid-state circuitry, which is both carefully shielded and equipped with premium system components. As a result, the Ultima PRE 2 is able to achieve unprecedented noise floor performance of -130dB, meaning your source will always sound like your source and nothing else.
Where connectivity is concerned, the Ultima PRE 2 has Hi-Fi systems (and more!) covered. Featuring eight inputs, four stereo pairs of XLRs for balanced connections and another four RCA for unbalanced connections, each of these can be gain-matched and individually selected. For outputs, a single stereo pair is available via XLR or RCA, to accommodate a single stereo amplifier such as the Ultima 5 or a pair of mono blocks such as the Ultima 3s. Naturally, headphone users are catered for, too, for personal and late-night listening with the addition of a high-resolution 6.35mm output on the front fascia.
Where system-triggering is important, (allowing the simultaneous start-up of connected equipment from a single button-press), the Ultima PRE 2 is equipped with three outputs which should be more than enough for most systems.
