STATE OF THE ART CIRCUIT DESIGN CAPABLE OF POWERING VARIOUS DEVICES

The Chord Electronics Anni features groundbreaking advancements in circuit design and technology. The Chord Electronics Anni is an amplifier capable of driving both headphones and compact loudspeakers with error monitoring. The compact-sized Anni benefits from the company’s proprietary ULTIMA circuit topology, being positioned to exploit the full potential of today’s high-performance headphones, desktop monitors and high-resolution audio sources. The new Anni desktop integrated amplifier forms part of the Qutest range and seamlessly complements the resolving abilities of the multi-award-winning Qutest standalone DAC and Huei phono stage.

DUAL-FEED-FORWARD, ERROR-CORRECTION FOR DISTORTION-FREE AUDIO

Anni features Chord Electronics’ latest dual-feed-forward, error-correction circuit topology. With this advanced technology, the Anni allows driving any headphones or compact loudspeaker with error-monitored and compensated amplification at all times. This means that Anni’s advanced technology corrects any distortion in the signal path by the amplifier, regardless of the headphone/speaker load. Anni outputs distortion-free audio, allowing you to enjoy artefacts free audio.

TWO-STAGE GAIN CONTROL FOR ADDED FLEXIBILITY

The Chord Electronics Anni is packed with technology that enhances the user experience and also the sound quality. Anni comes equipped with two-stage gain control for loudspeakers, which provides additional flexibility with a wide range of desktop monitors. The company’s trademark polychromatic control spheres govern the power and gain controls, complementing the fascia-mounted volume control/input selector.

HIGH GRADE, DURABLE SOLID ALUMINIUM CHASSIS

Chord Electronics Anni is built with precision and keeping durability in mind. The device features a solid high-grade aluminium alloy chassis that is entirely designed, engineered and built in the UK. This chassis makes the device sturdy from the exterior and reduces interference. This construction design brings about harmony in terms of form and elevates functionality.

MULTIPLE OUTPUT CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS

The Chord Electronics Anni benefits from both 3.5 mm headphone output and an ¼-inch (6.35 mm)output, allowing two connections to listen simultaneously. In addition to this, an 4 mm banana-type loudspeaker output is also available for permanent high-quality connectivity. These connectivity options make the Anni a well thought out device with unmatched attention to detail in terms of connectivity.

COMES WITH THE QUTEST RANGE POWER ADAPTOR

The Chord Electronics Anni is powered by a 15 V external power supply and benefits from a 12 V DC output, capable of powering the Qutest DAC and Huei phono stage when used with the new supplied Qutest range power adaptor. As a system, the Qutest components provide an unrivalled desktop audio solution, offering class-leading digital and analogue technologies for the modern music lover.

The History of Chord Electronics

The Chord electronics marked its beginning with the world of aviation where they believe in unyielding standards. Right from the beginning in 1989, John Franks, the owner of the company has been instrumental in developing the philosophy of the company. The very first amplifiers designed by the Chord Electronics were delivered to the BBC. The company then went on to do business with world-class studios such as the Abbey Road, Sony Music (New York) and eventually The Royal Opera House. The success of Chord electronics in the professional space lead to increasing demand for a domestic range incorporating the best of the finest professional products. All the Chord Electronics products made in Britain use proprietary technologies and offer studio-grade audio performance with all the Chord Electronics products.

Inside the Chord Studios

When Jamie spends one half of his time in the studio and the other half in the location, he needs best in class Digital to Analogue converters to keep up with his task and this is precisely why he places his trust on nothing else but Chord Electronics. Jamie has already installed the Hugo TT DAC in the Studio room as well as the listening room to feed his monitors and then employs Hugo for mixing on the go along with headphones.

The FPGA DAC Technology

The cutting-edge FPGA DAC Technology is consistent across the Chord's DAC range like the Mojo, 2Qute, Hugo, Hugo 2, and Dave were instead of using the traditional industrial DAC chip, they use the advanced field-programmable gate array.
