Delivering 30 W per channel into 8 Ω, it is designed to work as a standalone power amplifier or as the foundation of a small-footprint Chord system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed on its own, the Suzi Amp accepts an analog signal from an existing preamp and drives loudspeakers through 4 mm banana outputs. Its rear RCA inputs, AV bypass control, 12 V DC output, and modular top-panel interface allow it to adapt to several different Chord system configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eULTIMA Technology in a Compact Chassis\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Suzi Amp uses Chord’s ULTIMA amplifier topology in a chassis sized to match products from the Hugo range. Its vented casework supports thermal performance while keeping the amplifier compact enough for desktop, bookshelf, or small-room systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eStandalone Power Amplifier\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith RCA analog inputs and 4 mm banana speaker outputs, the Suzi Amp can be used with an existing preamp as a compact stereo power amplifier. The AV bypass function engages the rear RCA inputs for this use case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSuzi Pre Integration\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairing the Suzi Amp with the matching Suzi Pre creates a compact analog pre\/power amplifier system with phono stage and headphone output. The two units connect directly, giving the system a tidy, stacked footprint without requiring conventional interconnects between the preamp and power amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHugo 2 and 2go System Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Suzi Amp can also be partnered with Chord’s Hugo 2 DAC to create a DAC\/amplifier system. Add the optional USB Multiplexer for USB-B data plus USB-C data and charging, or combine Hugo 2 with 2go to create a streaming DAC\/amplifier with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Roon Endpoint, DLNA\/UPnP connectivity, and up to 2 TB of MicroSD storage through 2go’s twin card slots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHeadphone Pass-Through\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front-panel 3.5 mm and 6.35 mm headphone outputs are active when the Suzi Amp is connected to a Suzi Pre or Hugo 2, allowing one or two listeners to use headphones through a connected source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact modular stereo power amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 W per channel into 8 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChord ULTIMA amplifier topology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA analog inputs for use with a preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 mm banana speaker outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAV bypass function for rear RCA input use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect mechanical and electrical integration with Suzi Pre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Hugo 2 for DAC\/amplifier configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Hugo 2 and 2go for streaming DAC\/amplifier configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional USB Multiplexer support for USB-B data and USB-C data\/charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 V DC output for compatible Chord Electronics devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5 mm and 6.35 mm headphone pass-through outputs when used with Suzi Pre or Hugo 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVented casework for thermal performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and handmade in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Modular stereo power amplifier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInputs:\u003c\/b\u003e 2 x RCA sets, one reserved for Hugo 2 integration; 12 V power input; 5 V Micro USB for charging bridge assembly use with Hugo 2\/USB Multiplexer or Hugo 2\/2go\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 x pair of 4 mm banana speaker outputs; 1 x 12 V DC output\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadphone Pass-Through Outputs:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 x 3.5 mm; 1 x 6.35 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePower Output:\u003c\/b\u003e 30 W into 8 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInput Maximum Voltage:\u003c\/b\u003e 3 V RMS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Maximum Voltage:\u003c\/b\u003e 15 V RMS into 8 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHD:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.01%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSignal-To-Noise Ratio:\u003c\/b\u003e -116 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrosstalk:\u003c\/b\u003e -97 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOperation Voltage:\u003c\/b\u003e 80–250 V AC auto-switching\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions (HLW):\u003c\/b\u003e 2.72\" x 8.46\" x 3.94\" (69 mm x 215 mm x 100 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.25 lb.
