Chord's Prima preamp forms part of the stylish and compact Choral range and has been designed to complement our Mezzo power amps. Despite its compact dimensions and space-saving footprint, the Prima is every bit a pedigree Chord amplifier.Precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminium billet, the Prima offers both remote control and front panel operation. Prima’s fascia offers volume and balance controls while its push-button controls atop the unit, offer input selection and tape line selection, the latter enabling its tape outputs to be selected for recording from source components. Further design features include a top panel display, offering input choice and volume information, plus a clever porthole which enables the internal circuit board to be seen.The Prima also benefits from Chord's legendary proprietary Ultra-High-Frequency power supply, which is common to all Chord amplifiers. Prima offers fully balanced circuitry throughout and useful flexibility with five inputs, four unbalanced RCA and one balanced XLR, plus a balanced XLR output and a tape output. For added versatility, Prima’s audio circuit offers six independent input gain adjustments for the five inputs and low impedance outputs.Inputs & Outputs:5 Stereo Inputs and 1 Stereo Output 1x Stereo Balanced XLR Input – Main Line 1 4x Stereo Unbalanced RCA Inputs – Line In 2, Line In 3, Line In 4, and Line In 1x Stereo Balanced XLR Output – Output 1 1x Stereo Unbalanced RCA Tape Output – Tape OutputFrequency Range: 2.5Hz – 200kHz +/- 3dBOutput Impedance: 100Ω (Short Circuit Protected)Operating Voltage: 50v – 260v AC (50Hz – 60Hz) Auto SwitchingDimensions: 335mm (w) x 170mm (d) x 65mm (h)Weight: 8kG
