The Chord Electronics Ultima integrated amplifier is a class‑leading 125‑watt integrated amplifier that brings together Chord Electronics’ latest dual‑feed‑forward error‑correction topology, their legendary ultra‑high‑frequency power supplies, and that unmistakable industrial aesthetic the Choral family is known for.

Designed by Chord Electronics’ founder, owner, and chief engineer John Franks, the advanced ULTIMA circuit continuously monitors and corrects the audio signal before it reaches the output stage. The result is astonishing accuracy and purity from a single, beautifully engineered box—exactly the kind of clever design we admire at Home Media Limited.

The Chord Electronics Ultima integrated amplifier also benefits from the newest generation of low‑distortion power supplies, delivering exceptionally low noise and superb operating stability. The payoff is simple: even greater fidelity and a more revealing, more emotionally engaging listening experience.

With four inputs—one fully balanced and three unbalanced—each individually buffered and selectively filtered against RF interference, the ULTIMA INTEGRATED is built to keep your signal path clean and your music front and centre. Input switching is handled by microprocessor‑controlled sealed relays for long‑term reliability and silent operation.

As the first new Chord Electronics integrated amplifier in seven years—and the only full‑width integrated model in the range—the ULTIMA INTEGRATED stands as a statement piece in every sense.

Every element of the chassis is precision‑machined from solid aircraft‑grade aluminium, including Chord’s iconic Integra Legs. The 28‑mm‑thick front panel delivers a perfectly symmetrical aesthetic, centred around a spherical power control with polychromatic lighting, flanked by illuminated volume and balance controls. It’s unmistakably Chord, and unmistakably premium.

This is the ULTIMA INTEGRATED, presented the Home Media way: beautifully built, effortlessly powerful, and designed to make every listening session feel special.
