What is the Chord Ultima Pre 2?

The Chord Electronics ULTIMA PRE 2 is a reference-class, pure-analog preamplifier designed to be the ultimate control center for elite high-end audio systems, serving as the direct successor to the legendary CPA 5000.

Retaining the brand’s classic aerospace-grade aluminum aesthetic with signature polychromatic spherical controls, it is perfectly scaled to match the ULTIMA 2 and ULTIMA 3 monoblock amplifiers. Operating on a fully balanced circuit architecture, the PRE 2 utilizes a highly advanced ultra-high-frequency (UHF) switch-mode power supply, delivering a pitch-black noise floor and absolute signal transparency. It offers exceptional connectivity with eight analog inputs (four fully balanced XLR and four unbalanced RCA), complete with independent input gain adjustment to perfectly volume-match different sources.

Furthermore, it includes a dedicated AV bypass function for seamless home theater integration. A unique and highly sought-after feature for a full-size preamplifier is its inclusion of dual 6.35mm front-panel headphone outputs, driven by a high-quality discrete amplification stage. With uncompromised signal routing, the ULTIMA PRE 2 is a phenomenally versatile centerpiece for uncompromising audiophiles.
