The fully modernized ULTIMA PRE 2 has been designed to complement the highest level of stereo systems and represents the finest engineering from Chord Electronics - inside and out.

As is fitting for a preamplifier, the ULTIMA PRE 2 adds nothing to the original waveform, instead preserving it without distortion. We owe this to our latest developments in switch-mode power supplies, which have been derived from aerospace technology, as well as our proprietary ultra-low-noise semiconductor circuitry, which is both carefully shielded and equipped with high-quality system components. As a result, the ULTIMA PRE 2 achieves an unprecedented noise floor of -130 dB, meaning that your source will always sound like your source and nothing else.

Regarding connectivity, the ULTIMA PRE 2 is perfectly equipped for hi-fi systems (and more!). It features eight inputs, four stereo pairs of XLRs for balanced connections and four further RCAs for unbalanced connections, each of which can be gain-matched and individually selected. For outputs, a single stereo pair is available via XLR or RCA to connect a single stereo power amplifier such as the ULTIMA 5 or a pair of monoblocks such as the ULTIMA 3s. Of course, headphone users are also catered for, as there is a high-resolution 6.35 mm output on the front panel for private, late-night listening.

The ULTIMA PRE 2 is equipped with three outputs, which should be more than sufficient for most systems when it comes to system triggering, i.e., the simultaneous powering on of connected devices at the touch of a single button.
