LAST 5 (PIECE)
350W Stereo Power Amplifier
The innovative clean power technologies and custom components inside our stereo power amplifiers are what have propelled the Chord ULTIMA series to legendary status both inside and outside the recording studio. Its ability to react instantly and deliver absolute power, while maintaining transparency and incredibly low distortion, leaves you with nothing but a masterpiece.
ULTIMA 5 is a progression of our most famous stereo power amplifier, the legendary SPM 1200 MK II (widely considered definitive Chord Electronics amplifier).
Now incorporating our latest generation ULTIMA circuit topology, the new ULTIMA 5 is destined to become a future classic. Designed to offer the ideal balance between performance and price, the ULTIMA 5 delivers an impressively affordable 350 watts, enough to drive all but the most demanding loudspeakers.
The ULTIMA 5 organization has built on the inherent strengths of the SPM 1200 MK II and taken performance to the next level. By implementing our advanced dual-feedforward error-correction topology, which incorporates our own advanced concepts in ultra-high-frequency power supplies, we have been able to deliver supremely fast and powerful performance, with an extraordinarily high maximum output current (the speed at which dynamic peaks can be delivered), delivering astonishing dynamics, accurate timing, and, as a result, unparalleled musicality.
Add to that our low-distortion amplifier circuitry featuring our own patented Dual-Array Lateral Structure MOSFETs, and the ULTIMA 5 is capable of driving speaker loads effortlessly, with clarity and precision. The ULTIMA 5 has an incredible 32 patented MOSFET power devices that demand the most advanced and refined drive circuitry, appropriately devoid of sound-degrading components.
ULTIMA is an unprecedented amplifier topology with exceptional performance and is one of the world's most advanced amplifier technologies.
Benefiting from a redesigned fascia with John Franks’ latest aesthetic, the precision CNC-machined fascia is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and features a reassuringly solid 28mm thick front panel, enhanced by a recessed spherical polycarbonate power button that illuminates for standby and operating modes; a discreet, concealed switch on the front panel, located on the vertical split line, enables dimmable lighting.
The rear panels of the amplifier contain balanced and unbalanced connections, high quality speaker terminals, a 12V trigger and an IEC type C-19.
