Introduction 1.1

ULTIMA 6 is an

incredibly reliable

and technologically

advanced stereo power ampliﬁer.

It represents the entry into Chord

Electronics Full Size ampliﬁcation

ownership with a dual-feed-

Before operation, we strongly

advise that you read this user

manual thoroughly, storing it

in a safe place along with your

original receipt of purchase,

in case you should require

assistance in the future.

Protection against

liquids & heat

1.2

The ULTIMA 6 is not

protected against liquids

of any kind. Never place

containers of liquid on ULTIMA 6.

Never allow ULTIMA 6 to come

into contact with moisture or

liquids; doing so could result in

electrocution or damage to the

ULTIMA 6 internal circuitry.

Be aware that liquids, including

water that has dried, can leave

minerals that can aect the

PCB and other components,

which could eventually lead to

oxidisation and short-circuiting.

If the ULTIMA 6 comes into

contact with moisture or liquids,

immediately disconnect from

the mains power supply, and

connected equipment, and

contact Chord Electronics for

further advice.

The ULTIMA 6 has

internal thermal

protection that will cut

the power supply if reached.

Never operate the ULTIMA 6 near

sources of heat or naked ﬂames

as this will decrease the lifespan

of the internal components. It is

advised that you do not operate

the ULTIMA 6 in an area of direct

sunlight or on top of signiﬁcant

heat- producing devices.

Please be aware that it is

entirely normal for the ULTIMA

6 to become warm during

use, particularly within a

stacked conﬁguration. If you

are concerned about the

temperatures, please switch

the device o and consider a

dierent placement.

ULTIMA 6 | Manual

There are no user-

serviceable components

within the ULTIMA 6

or its power supply. Dangerous

voltages/currents exist within

the ULTIMA 6 and its power

supply, posing a severe risk of

electrocution and/or ﬁre.

Never attempt to

open, dismantle or

apply internal third-

party devices to it or insert

anything other than the listed

interconnects or speaker cables

within this user manual.

If the ULTIMA 6 develops a

fault or the casework becomes

damaged, immediately

disconnect from the mains power

supply and connected equipment

and contact Chord Electronics

for further advice.

Dismantling & radio

frequency interference

1.3

With a thick, solid aluminium

chassis, the ULTIMA 6’s casework

largely protects the sensitive

internal circuitry from radio

frequency interference. However,

for optimal performance, it is

recommended that the following

points are observed:

1.Consider placing the

ULTIMA 6 away from

wireless routers.

2.Separate the

ULTIMA 6 from

ampliﬁers using

toroidal transformers.

3.Operate mobile

phones at a distance

to avoid interference.

Although the ULTIMA

6is largely shielded,

it can generate radio

frequency interference that

may have an eect on radio

and television reception. If this

occurs, please reconsider your

placement.

ULTIMA 6 | Manual

Before connecting the ULTIMA

6 to any equipment, consult the

manufacturer’s user guide to

conﬁrm compatibility.

When connecting the ULTIMA

6 to any equipment, make sure

that all devices are o, including

the ULTIMA 6. Once connected,

switch all equipment on starting

with the source and ending with

the ampliﬁer. Initially, operate

the ULTIMA 6 with your preamp/

and any connected sources on

their lowest gain settings and

lowest volume settings, gently

increasing to a comfortable

listening level. Never operate

the ULTIMA 6 at excessive

sound levels; permanent hearing

damage and loss can occur.

ULTIMA 6 is supplied with its

own grounded 16A-rated mains

IEC cable and it is important

that the ampliﬁer is earthed at

all times via this cable, or an

appropriate alternative. Failure to

do this could be hazardous in the

unlikely event of a fault.

The supplied region-speciﬁc

16A mains IEC cable can be

substituted for an alternative

power cable, however, please

make sure that it has an earth. If

any cable becomes damaged you

must immediately discontinue

use and replace it to avoid the

risk of electrocution.

ULTIMA 6 must be permanently

connected to a source of power.

The included mains lead simply

plugs into the ULTIMA 5 IEC

mains socket. If the mains lead

is prematurely disconnected.

ULTIMA 6 may still hold charge

for up to 15 minutes.

WARNING: Never

disconnect the

power cable during

power cable is disconnected

during operation there is a

risk of damage to connected

equipment.
