Discover the Chord Electronics Ultima 6 Power Amplifier: A Detailed Review

The Chord Ultima 6 offers a seamless entry into the next-generation ULTIMA family with its 180-watt stereo power output. Building on the success of its predecessor, the SPM 1050 MK II, the Ultima 6 incorporates Chord’s proprietary dual-feed-forward topology, a technology 30 years in the making. This innovation enables unparalleled accuracy and control, ensuring lightning-fast response times and astonishing dynamics.

Groundbreaking Technology for Ultimate Performance

At the heart of the Ultima 6 lies 16 proprietary MOSFET power devices, driven by an ultra-low-distortion, high-voltage amplifier capable of an astounding 300 volts per microsecond. This advanced circuitry ensures superior clarity and transparency, delivering music with lifelike precision. The use of TO3-style dual-die lateral-matched MOSFETs ensures consistent performance, thanks to continuous monitoring and temperature compensation.

Designed for Perfection

Housed in Chord Electronics’ signature aircraft-grade solid aluminium casework, the Ultima 6 is both aesthetically stunning and functionally robust. The 28-mm-thick fascia features a sleek, modern design with a recessed spherical power button that illuminates in standby and operational modes. Additionally, a discreet front-panel switch allows users to control dimmable lighting, adding a touch of practicality to the amplifier's elegance.

Connections and Compatibility

The rear panel of the Ultima 6 is thoughtfully equipped with both balanced and unbalanced connections, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of high-fidelity systems. Premium loudspeaker terminals, a 12V trigger, and a C-19-type IEC input provide flexibility and convenience for even the most demanding setups.

A Legacy of Excellence

The Chord Ultima 6 embodies the same DNA as its flagship ULTIMA siblings while offering greater practicality and accessibility. Engineered for the finest hi-fi systems, it represents the ultimate expression of Chord Electronics’ expertise in high-performance, ultra-fast amplifier technology.
