Description ULTIMA 6 The Chord Electronics ULTIMA 6 is a new 180-watt model, benefiting from John Franks’ ground-breaking dual-feed-forward circuit. This delivers a lightning-fast response coupled with effortless power, for astonishing dynamics and timing, for unrivalled fidelity. Thirty years in-the-making, this new dual-feed-forward topology offers breakthrough performance and is the first all-new circuit from Chord in three decades. ULTIMA amplifiers have been engineered for the very finest hi-fi systems; the ultimate expression of the finest high-performance, ultra-fast, high-power amplifier technology available today. ULTIMA 6 has an incredible 16 proprietary MOSFET power devices which demand the most advanced and refined drive circuitry, featuring an ultra-low-distortion, high-voltage amplifier operating at very high speed: 300 volts per microsecond. The TO3-style dual-die lateral-matched MOSFETs are continuously monitored with output stage error-correction circuitry and feature fully balanced input circuitry with DC-tracking servos and full temperature compensation. ULTIMA 6 shares the same DNA as the flagship and reference-level mono blocks, yet benefits from greater practicality and affordability, due to a differing power output. The renowned aircraft-grade solid aluminium casework offers a reassuringly high-end and entirely non-resonant enclosure for the electronics and is presented with a redesigned 28-mm-thick fascia featuring John Franks’ latest aesthetic. A recessed spherical polycarbonate power button illuminates for standby and operation modes and a discreet, hidden front panel switch, located in the vertical split line, enables dimmable lighting. The amplifier’s rear panel contains both balanced and unbalanced connections, high-quality loudspeaker terminals, a 12 V trigger and a C-19-type IEC.
