Chord Suzi Pre Pre/headphone Amplifier And Phono Stage

The Suzi Pre is a versatile and compact pre-amplifier with a built-in MM/MC phono stage with selectable gain and impedance. The Suzi Pre allows the direct integration of the new Suzi Amp stereo power amplifier to create a compact pre/power amp, or can be used as a standalone pre-amplifier.

It features both 3.5 mm and 6.35 mm headphone outputs, three RCA inputs, one RCA output, and a 12 V DC output. A central polychromatic control sphere handles volume and input selection.
