According to Chord Electronics that is enough power to drive all but the most demanding loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer presents it as the evolution of its best-known stereo power amplifier, the SPM 1200 MK II, which it describes as the definitive Chord Electronics amplifier. Compared with that design the heart of the circuit changes and is now based on the ULTIMA topology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThirty-two MOSFETs and an ultra-high-frequency power supply\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe output stage has 32 proprietary MOSFET power devices, lateral-structure and dual-die, set within low-distortion amplifier circuitry. Operation is class AB with sliding bias, on fully balanced circuitry and with convection cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDual feed-forward error correction is combined with the ultra-high-frequency switch-mode power supplies developed by Chord. The manufacturer credits this combination with fast, powerful performance and a very high peak output current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e28 mm fascia, connections and Integra legs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fascia is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminium and is 28 mm thick. Recessed into it is the power button, a polycarbonate sphere that lights up in standby and in operation; a switch hidden in the vertical split line allows the lighting to be dimmed. The top light ring is included and the chassis is solid aluminium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rear panel carries balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, the loudspeaker terminals, the 12 V trigger and a C-19 type IEC mains socket. The Integra side legs are included (480 × 180 × 360 mm, W × H × D); gloss black acrylic side blocks are available as an option, reducing the size to 420 × 150 × 360 mm but not allowing units to be stacked. Among the options the manufacturer also lists Integra legs in Jett Black or Argent Silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOutput power: 300 W RMS per channel into 8 Ω; 500 W RMS per channel into 4 Ω.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInputs: 1 balanced XLR stereo pair and 1 unbalanced RCA stereo pair, gold plated.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTrigger: 1 × 12 V input (Chord Electronics auto start).\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOutputs: 1 pair of gold-plated, high-current loudspeaker terminals.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOperating class: AB with sliding bias.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePower devices: 32 proprietary MOSFETs.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 0.5 Hz - 100 kHz (−1 dB).\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion: 0.005 %.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eGain: 30 dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 2,000 W at full power; 10 W in standby.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLighting: dimmable, with the top light ring included.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDimensions with the included Integra legs: 480 × 180 × 360 mm (W × H × D).\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDimensions with the optional side blocks (not stackable): 420 × 150 × 360 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeight: 22.4 kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFinishes: black or silver.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncluded: 15 A IEC mains cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chord Electronics Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Nero","offer_id":56561945051480,"sku":"CHOELEULTIMA5-B","price":15750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":56561945084248,"sku":"CHOELEULTIMA5","price":15750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5278\/7645\/files\/chord-ultima-5-fronte-nero-llafa.jpg?v=1791525849","url":"https:\/\/videosell.it\/en\/products\/chord-electronics-ultima-5","provider":"Videosell store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
