Based on 30 years of amplifier-building expertise, the Chord Electronics Huei Phono Stage offers MM/MC compatibility and integrates turntables to amplifiers.
Entirely conceived, engineered and manufactured in Great Britain, Huei has been carefully designed to provide turntables with the same high standards of amplification that Chord Electronics has become known for over the past 30 years.
Flexible Gain and Impedance
Benefitting from both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil functionality, Huei Phono Stage offers compatibility with a huge range of cartridges thanks to comprehensive gain and impedance-matching options; Hueiโs high- and low-gain switching settings are easily accessible via front-panel controls, introducing welcome flexibility.
Cartridge Compatibility
Hueiโs advanced design offers (for the first time in a Chord Electronics phono preamp) ultra-low-noise microprocessor control of its main features, including a convenient memory function. With multiple options for impedance-matching, eight-stage switchable gain and a switchable rumble filter, Hueiโs design also offers comprehensive compatibility.
High Grade Aluminium Construction
Precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminium billet, Huei has a similar form factor to the companyโs Qutest DAC and also offers a top-mounted viewing window into the illuminated electronics within.
The design also shares the same polychromatic control spheres the company has become known for in its digital products. The illuminated front-panel spheres offer access to Hueiโs gain and impedance settings, selection for MM/MC cartridges and the rumble filter.
Huei is a stylish, practical and high-performance solution for integrating turntables into Chord Electronicsโ (and other) systems and features both unbalanced (RCA) and balanced outputs (XLR) with RCA inputs. A high-quality 12V external power supply is also supplied.
