Chord Electronics Suzi Amp

Power Amp.

An innovative ULTIMA-tech stereo power amplifier, delivering 30 W per channel, designed to pair with the new Suzi Pre preamplifier, or the Hugo 2 or Hugo 2 and 2go to form a DAC amp or streaming amp.

The Suzi Amp power amplifier incorporates our groundbreaking ULTIMA amplifier topology, delivering 30 watts of stereo power in a remarkably compact design. It features 4 mm banana loudspeaker outputs, RCA inputs, and a removable solid aluminium cover block exposing connections for the direct integration of the Suzi Pre or Hugo 2.

When the Suzi Amp is paired with the Hugo 2 DAC and the 2go streamer, it transforms into a streaming amplifier complete with Roon Endpoint and DLNA/UPnP connectivity, plus the potential for up to 2 TB of onboard solid state storage from the 2go’s twin MicroSD slots.

Front-panel polychromatic buttons control power and the AV bypass feature, and its casework venting ensures optimal thermal performance. A 12 V DC output is provided for compatibility with other Chord Electronics devices and a headphone pass-through (3.5mm and 6.35mm) is active when the Suzi Amp is connected to the Suzi Pre or Hugo 2.

USB multiplexer accessory (sold separately)

For enhanced versatility when using the Hugo 2 and Suzi Amp combination, our USB multiplexer expansion accessory connects to the Hugo 2’s dual Micro USB inputs, and adds USB-B data inputs, plus USB-C data and charging. The Hugo 2 automatically detects the active input, allowing for simultaneous connections.

Chord Electronics

Chord Electronics Chord Electronics first took flight from the aviation world, where engineering without limits means uncompromising standards. This concept designed by company owner John Franks has helped shaped our philosophy since the company’s inception in 1989. Their first amplifiers were supplied to the BBC, followed by world-leading studios including Abbey Road, Sony Music (New York) and later, The Royal Opera House. Chord Electronics reputation within the professional world generated demand for a domestic range encompassing the design, engineering and build standards demanded of the finest pro equipment. Today, they apply proprietary technologies to all of their British-made products and proudly deliver studio-grade audio performance across the entire Chord range.
