Shrink Your System Footprint without Sacrificing on Sound: British-Made Chord Electronics Suzi Pre Preamplifier Features MM/MC Phono Preamplifier, Headphone Amplifier, ULTIMA Tech, and Super-Compact Dimensions
The Chord Electronics Suzi Pre preamplifier is ideal for listeners who have limited space for a traditional stereo setup, as well as for those who just don’t want several boxes and/or a rack system in their room. Designed by John Franks and built in the U.K., this super-compact device features two RCA inputs, a 12V DC jack for power, and an MM/MC phonostage — giving you the ability to hook up your turntable and call it a day. Two headphone outputs (3.5mm and 0.25-inch) abet a stereo output, adding to the flexibility.
Bolstered with Chord’s ULTIMA technology and a remote control, Suzi Pre allows for the direct integration of the company’s Suzi amplifier, giving users a footprint-friendly amp, preamp, and phonostage setup. Suzi Pre also functions as a standalone preamplifier whose performance and fidelity go far beyond its size. Clear, balanced, rich: Suzi Pre continues the commitment to excellence for which Chord is internationally known.
Selectable impedance, standout rated specs, and a sleek appearance round out a unit that looks as cool as it sounds. If you need more information about Suzi Pre and how it interfaces with other Chord components, give us a shout at 312-433-0200 and we’ll get you what you need.
