The Chord Ultima Phono Stage is a flagship high-performance phono preamplifier designed for exceptional analogue playback. Available for demonstration in our Hull store by request, the Ultima Phono Stage combines advanced dual-mono circuitry, ultra-low-noise engineering, and extensive cartridge adjustment options to deliver outstanding detail, dynamics, and musical realism from your vinyl collection.
Designed and engineered in the UK by Chord Electronics, the Chord Ultima Phonostage supports both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges. Featuring three independent phono inputs, the Ultima can accommodate multiple turntables, tonearms, or cartridge combinations, making it one of the most flexible high-end phono stages available.
The Chord Ultima Phono Stage uses a sophisticated dual-mono architecture to preserve signal purity and minimise interference between channels. Carefully selected ultra-low-noise components and advanced analogue circuitry allow the Ultima Phonostage to reveal subtle musical details, improved imaging, and greater realism from your records.
The Chord Ultima Phonostage has been engineered to partner with virtually any high-quality cartridge. Each input can be independently configured for MM or MC operation, with selectable gain, impedance, and capacitance settings allowing precise cartridge matching for optimum performance.
With three configurable inputs, the Chord Ultima Phono Stage allows users to connect multiple vinyl sources, tonearms, or cartridge setups. Each input can be customised individually, with settings stored so your preferred configuration is retained even after the unit is powered down.
The Chord Ultima Phonostage offers both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA connectivity, making it suitable for integration into a wide range of high-end hi-fi systems. Front-panel illuminated VU meters provide a distinctive appearance while helping monitor system performance during playback.
The Chord Ultima Phono Stage includes advanced monitoring technology designed to protect your vinyl system. Automatic gain reduction helps prevent clipping and overload, ensuring clean and controlled playback even when dealing with higher output cartridges or accidental signal spikes.
Housed in Chord Electronics’ instantly recognisable precision-machined chassis, the Ultima Phonostage combines cutting-edge analogue technology with a premium finish. Available in silver or black, it delivers both outstanding performance and the distinctive design associated with Chord’s flagship hi-fi products.
