BerTTi is a fully balanced 75-watt stereo power amplifier benefitting from the latest dual-feed-forward error-correction topology. First unveiled at HIGH END, Munich, 2023, BerTTi directly replaces its predecessor, the TToby. It also expands the British built ULTIMA-topology range amplifiers designed by Chord Electronics owner and founder John Franks. Franks’ advanced ULTIMA error-correction technology monitors and immediately corrects signals before the output stage for astonishing accuracy.

Protect both devices with the official Chord Electronics leather case.

ULTIMA PRE 2 is built to complement stereo systems.

The UTLIMA PRE 3 is a low noise preamplifier. 

The UTLIMA PRE 3 is equipped with five analogue inputs (two balanced and three unbalanced) all of which benefit from individual buffering and are filtered against potential ingress from radio frequency interference.

Externally, the PRE 3 benefits from a central circular power sphere flanked by a new volume control and balance/AV bypass selector, both of which benefit from a new ergonomic knob design.

Additional features include an AV bypass, plus a 5 V charging USB Type-A port.
