CHORD SUZI

The Chord Suzi is a new-generation modular Hi-Fi system designed by Chord Electronics. It includes a preamplifier (Suzi Pre) and a stereo amplifier (Suzi Amp), both in a compact format, with aircraft-grade aluminum chassis.

The Suzi Pre offers line and MM/MC phono inputs, dual headphone outputs, an RCA output, 12V DC power supply, and excellent audio performance (0.0007% THD). It includes a remote control, impedance control, and a space-saving layout.

Suzi Amp delivers 30W per channel into 8Ω with ULTIMA technology, RCA inputs, speaker and headphone outputs, and universal power. Ideal in combination with Suzi Pre, Hugo 2, or 2go to create advanced analog, DAC, or streaming systems.

Chord Suzi – The Modular Hi-Fi System for the Modern Audiophile

Previewed at Munich High-End 2024, the Chord Suzi is much more than a simple audio system: it is a modular platform that redefines the concept of high fidelity. Designed by the visionary John Franks, founder of Chord Electronics, the Suzi system combines the power of a stereo power amplifier and the sophistication of a preamplifier in an extremely compact and elegant design.

The philosophy behind Suzi is one of maximum customization: the system can be used as an integrated combo, or as individual modules that integrate with components like Hugo 2 and 2go to create DAC and streaming solutions. This modular approach allows you to upgrade your system over time, always maintaining the same sound quality and flexibility of use.

The aircraft-grade aluminum design, minimalist lines, and innovative architecture are testament to the attention to detail and technological commitment that have led Chord to create a product destined to become a point of reference for modern audiophiles.

Suzi Amp – Miniature Power with Ultimate Technology

The Suzi Amp is designed to deliver hi-fi-level sonic power in a surprisingly compact package. Delivering 30W per channel into 8Ω, the Suzi Amp utilizes our renowned ULTIMA technology, delivering high performance without sacrificing the transparency and dynamics typically found only in high-end models.

Among its main specifications we find:

Inputs: 2 x stereo RCA for direct and safe connection to audio sources.

Outputs: One pair of banana speaker binding posts, 1 x 12V DC output and headphone outputs (activated when connected to the Suzi Pre).

Performance: With a THD of 0.01%, a signal-to-noise ratio of 116 dB and a crosstalk of -97 dB, the Suzi Amp ensures faithful and dynamic reproduction of the audio signal.

Power supply: It operates in auto-switching mode on a voltage between 80 and 250 V AC, allowing operational flexibility in different contexts.

Dimensions: With a compact casing of 215 x 100 x 69 mm and a weight of 2380 g, it is ideal for installations in small spaces without sacrificing quality.

The Suzi Amp has been designed to adapt to different operating configurations:

Analog Combo: When paired with the Suzi Pre, it creates a traditional pre/power amplifier system with a warm and balanced sound.

DAC/Amplifier Solution: When combined with the Hugo 2, it transforms the system into an excellent digital-to-analog conversion solution with integrated amplification.

Complete Streaming System: By connecting the Suzi Amp to the Hugo 2 and the 2go module, you can obtain an advanced setup for enjoying digital content in high fidelity.

The aircraft-grade aluminum construction and minimalist design ensure excellent thermal dissipation and a refined aesthetic, perfectly in tune with modern and high-end environments.

Suzi Pre – The Intelligent and Versatile Preamplifier

The Suzi Pre is the heart of the system: not only does it function as an analog preamplifier, but it also integrates a high-quality MM/MC phono stage and a dual headphone output system, ensuring absolute versatility. This module is ideal for those who want to directly connect a quality turntable or to use the preamplifier in more complex configurations.

Key features include:

Inputs: 1 x RCA for turntable (phono MM/MC) and 2 x RCA line for additional sources.

Outputs: 1 x stereo RCA and 2 x headphone outputs (3.5mm and 6.3mm) for maximum playback flexibility.

Performance: With exceptionally low THD (0.0007% A-weighted), a frequency response ranging from 7 Hz to 30 kHz (+/- 3 dB) and a signal-to-noise ratio of -103 dB, the Suzi Pre promises transparency and detail in every note.

Power Supply: It operates on a 12V DC power supply, contributing to the compactness of the design.

Furthermore, the presence of an integrated remote control, the ability to select the impedance, and the layout designed to minimize its footprint make the Suzi Pre a perfect choice for both home environments and professional studios. The module, in addition to acting as a traditional preamplifier, also serves as a phono stage, ensuring a direct and high-quality connection to the turntable.

Attention to detail in the internal design also ensures extremely stable operation, making every listening experience an immersive experience and faithful to the original recording.
