Designed by John Franks, the Suzi Pre is a versatile pre-amplifier, with a built-in MM/MC phono stage. The Chord Electronics Suzi Pre allows the direct integration of the Suzi amplifier to create a compact amp, preamp and phono stage system or can be used as a standalone pre-amplifier.

The Chord Electronics Suzi Power Amplifier is an innovative ULTIMA-tech modular power amplifier, delivering 30 W per channel. The Suzi allows the direct integration of the Suzi Pre preamplifier, Hugo 2 or Hugo 2 and 2go.

The Suzi has three primary use case scenarios: as an analogue pre/power amplifier (a Suzi Pre with a Suzi); a DAC/amplifier (a Suzi with a Hugo 2), plus a streaming amplifier (a Suzi with a Hugo 2 and 2go). The Suzi can also be used as a standalone amplifier.

The Suzi system has been conceptualised to offer consumers myriad options while accommodating existing Hugo 2 and Hugo 2/2go owners by offering a purpose-designed ULTIMA-technology amplifier solution with similar space-saving chassis dimensions.
