Chord Suzi Pre

Sale price$3,145.00
Color: Black

The Chord Suzi Pre is a standalone analogue preamplifier with a built-in MM/MC phono stage and headphone amplifier -- designed as the modular companion to the Suzi power amplifier, but equally capable as a standalone preamp with conventional power amplifiers. Features Chord's distinctive polychromatic sphere for volume and input selection, three RCA inputs, MM/MC phono with adjustable gain and impedance, and both 3.5mm and 6.35mm headphone outputs. Engineered and manufactured in England.

Type and Technology

Analogue preamplifier with MM/MC phono stage and headphone amplifier. Three RCA inputs plus phono input. One RCA output. Built-in MM/MC phono stage with selectable gain and impedance settings accessible via top-panel controls or the included remote. Polychromatic sphere control for volume adjustment and input selection -- Chord's signature interface element. Headphone outputs: both 3.5mm and 6.35mm provided for maximum headphone compatibility. 12V DC trigger output for system integration. Designed for use with the Suzi power amplifier as a matching modular pre/power pair, but fully compatible with any power amplifier with RCA inputs. Engineered and manufactured in Kent, England.

Sound Character

Clean, transparent, and musical -- the Suzi Pre applies Chord's analogue design standards to a compact preamp, with the built-in phono stage making it a complete source management hub for vinyl and line-level sources. The headphone outputs provide an additional high-quality listening path directly from the preamp.

Build and Finish

Compact chassis matching the Suzi and Hugo 2 form factor for modular stacking. Remote control included. Engineered and manufactured in Kent, England. UK pricing: £1,995 / US: $3,145.

Best For
