NEW PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET
The Chord Choral Range
‘Symphonic’ Chord Phono Stage
Product Specification
To complete the ‘Choral Range’, Chord have updated their long standing, high performance phono stage, using the latest
high frequency power supply technology along with many key NEW features, to bring the performance levels and
aesthetic style in line with the rest of the range. The ‘Symphonic’ offers an almost infinite number of input impedance
and gain options as well as balanced and unbalanced input option to the cartridge, all externally selectable, with
selections signified internally with illuminating LEDs. Also incorporated in the design, is a new low frequency Rumble
filter. This device uniquely filters out rumble signals appearing on both channels. The ‘Symphonic’ has been designed
for Moving Coil cartridges only.
The ‘Symphonic’ Phono stage conforms to the RIAA curve without the IEC roll-off when the Rumble filter is set to off.
This is commensurate with the high calibre of Chord amplification. The IEC curve response can be added by setting the
Rumble filter to on.
According to the wiring of the
tone arm on the record deck
used, the ‘Symphonic’ can be
operated in either an
unbalanced or balanced mode.
All domestic equipment is
designed to enable unbalanced
operation. Better results will be
achieved in balanced operation
when used in a complete Chord
system.
