Introduction 1.1

ULTIMA PRE is our

ﬂagship pre-ampliﬁer

with a ﬂexable eight

inputs, four stereo pairs of XLRs

for balanced connections and

another four RCA for unbalanced

connections and a single stereo

pair is available via XLR or RCA

for outputs.

Before operation, we strongly

advise you read this user manual

thoroughly.

We also recommend that you

store this user manual, along with

your original receipt of purchase,

in a safe place should you require

assistance in the future.

Protection against

liquids & heat

1.2

ULTIMA PRE is not

protected against liquids

of any kind. Never place

containers of liquid on ULTIMA

PRE. Never allow ULTIMA PRE to

come into contact with moisture

or liquids; doing so could result

in electrocution or damage to the

ULTIMA PRE’s 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 PRE 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 PRE

has internal thermal

protection which will

shut down the unit in the event

of excessive temperatures

being reached. Never operate

the ULTIMA PRE 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 PRE 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

PRE to become warm during

use, particularly within a

stacked conﬁguration. If you

are concerned about the

temperatures, please switch the

device o or consider a dierent

placement.

There are no user-

serviceable components

within the ULTIMA PRE

or its power supply. Dangerous

voltages/currents exist within

the ULTIMA PRE 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 headphone

adapters within this user manual.

If the ULTIMA PRE 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 PRE’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 PRE away from

wireless routers.

2. Separate the ULTIMA

PRE from ampliﬁers

using toroidal transformers.

3. Operate mobile

phones at a distance

to avoid interference.

Although the ULTIMA

PRE is 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 PRE | Manual

Before connecting the ULTIMA

PRE to any equipment, consult

the manufacturer’s user guide to

conﬁrm compatibility.

When connecting the ULTIMA

PRE to any equipment, make sure

that all devices are o, including

the ULTIMA PRE.

Once connected, switch all

equipment on starting with

the source and ending with the

ampliﬁcation.

Initially, operate the any

connected equipment on its

lowest gain setting and lowest

volume setting, gently increasing

to a comfortable listening level.

Never operate connected

equipment to the ULTIMA

PRE at excessive sound levels;

permanent hearing damage and

loss can occur.

The included 10 amp IEC mains

lead plugs into the ULTIMA PRE.

If the power supply is

prematurely disconnected

ULTIMA PRE may still remain

active for up to 15 seconds,

however, this may cause damage

to connected equipment.
