The Chord Electronics Prima is a reference-grade, pure-analog preamplifier that serves as the traditional control center for the premium Choral range. Designed to perfectly match the aesthetics and performance of the DAVE DAC and Etude power amplifier, the Prima delivers exceptional analog transparency and flawless signal routing.
Its defining engineering highlight is Chord’s proprietary Ultra-High-Frequency (UHF) switch-mode power supply, which completely eliminates mains interference, ensuring a pitch-black noise floor and immense dynamic reserves. Operating on a fully balanced circuit architecture, the Prima offers versatile connectivity with five stereo inputs (one balanced XLR and four unbalanced RCA) alongside both XLR and RCA outputs. A standout feature for audiophiles managing multiple sources is its fully independent gain adjustment: each of the five inputs can be individually calibrated for input sensitivity.
This ensures volume levels remain perfectly matched when switching between a DAC, phono stage, or CD player. Machined from a solid billet of aerospace-grade aluminum and featuring a top-mounted display with Chord’s signature spherical controls, the Prima provides uncolored, ultra-low-distortion volume attenuation for the most demanding High-End systems.
