This is thanks to our latest advances in switch-mode power supply design, developed from aerospace technologies, and our ultra-low-noise proprietary solid-state circuitry which is both carefully shielded and equipped with premium system components. As a result, the ULTIMA PRE 2 is able to achieve unprecedented noise floor performance of -130dB, meaning your source will always sound like your source and nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere connectivity is concerned, the ULTIMA PRE 2 has hi-fi systems (and more!) covered. Featuring eight inputs, four stereo pairs of XLRs for balanced connections and another four RCA for unbalanced connections, each of these can be gain-matched and individually selected. For outputs, a single stereo pair is available via XLR or RCA, to accommodate a single stereo amplifier such as the ULTIMA 5 or a pair of mono blocks such as the ULTIMA 3s. Naturally, headphone users are catered for, too, for personal and late-night listening with the addition of a high-resolution 6.35mm output on the front fascia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere system-triggering is important, (allowing the simultaneous start-up of connected equipment from a single button-press), the ULTIMA PRE 2 is equipped with three outputs which should be more than enough for most systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInputs \u0026amp; Outputs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Stereo Inputs and 1 Stereo Outputs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x Stereo Balanced XLR Inputs – Line In 1, Line In 2, Line In 3, and Line In 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x Stereo Unbalanced RCA Inputs – Line In 5, Line In 6, Tape 1, Tape 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Stereo Output – Either via Balanced XLR or Unbalanced RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x Stereo Outputs – RCA unattenuated for recording loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Stereo Balanced XLR AV Bypass Input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Spec\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10Hz – 200kHz +\/- 3dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.002% 20Hz – 20 kHz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal to noise ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-116dB on all inputs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100 kΩ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100Ω\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput maximum voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10V RMS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput maximum voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e17V RMS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable gain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ex0.5, x1, x1.5, x2, x2.5, and x3 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel separation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperation voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e80-250V AC auto-switching \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e30W\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions Without Integra Legs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e420mm (w) x 355mm (d) x 133mm (h)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions With Included Integra Legs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e480mm (w) x 355mm (d) x 173mm (h)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e18kG\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chord","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":52989874012467,"sku":null,"price":22848.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":52989874045235,"sku":null,"price":22848.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/ChordULTIMAPRE2EightInputPreamplifier_2.png?v=1769136857","url":"https:\/\/vinylsound.com\/products\/chord-ultima-pre-2-eight-input-preamplifier","provider":"Vinyl Sound USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
