The Chord Electronics Suzi Pre is a compact high-end preamplifier, headphone amplifier, and phono stage designed to bring exceptional analogue performance and system flexibility to modern hi-fi setups. Engineered and manufactured in the United Kingdom, the Suzi Pre combines Chord’s advanced ULTIMA-derived circuitry with a built-in MM/MC phono stage, premium headphone outputs, and seamless integration with the matching Suzi Amp power amplifier.
Designed for both standalone and modular operation, the Suzi Pre features selectable gain and impedance settings for moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, making it compatible with a wide range of turntables and phono systems. Its compact CNC-machined aluminum chassis includes RCA line inputs, dual headphone outputs, remote control functionality, and Chord’s signature illuminated poly-chromatic control sphere for intuitive operation.
When paired directly with the Suzi Amp, the two components form a compact integrated amplifier system without external interconnect cables, creating a highly versatile desktop or high-end compact audio solution.
