- Chord Electronics has launched a user-customized audio system 'Suzi' through modular design.
- It consists of the speaker power amplifier 'Suzi' and the preamplifier module 'Suzi Pre', and can be combined with Hugo 2 to utilize DAC and network audio functions.
- Dr. John Franks implemented a modular design, inspired by children's toys, and is scheduled to be officially launched this fall.
Chord Electronics, a high-end audio brand headquartered in the Netherlands, has launched a new product that is attracting worldwide attention. This newly released product is an innovative audio system that allows users to freely configure their system according to their needs through a 'modular design'.
The new product comes in two modules, called "Suzi" and "Suzi Pre". Suzi serves as a power amplifier for speakers, while Suzi Pre is a preamplifier module that can be mounted on Suzi. Combining Suzi with Suzi Pre provides preamplifier functionality.
Suzi Pre, in particular, reflects Chord's signature design. The large spherical volume knob lights up in various colors depending on the input format, aimed at providing a way to check the status even from a distance. It also features a built-in MM/MC phono equalizer.
What's even more interesting is that Suzi can be used as a DAC module when connected to Chord's popular D/A converter, Hugo 2. And by connecting the 2go network input module to Hugo 2, network audio capabilities can be added. It is also expected to support the new 'wired USB adapter'. This ability to freely combine modules and expand functionality is a major advantage of the Suzi system.
The Suzi system is a product that has been announced for a long time. Dr. John Franks, the product developer, said he was inspired by children's red-eye toys. "I saw children playing with red-eye toys and thought modular products were a good idea. I designed the Suzi based on my kids' shoe boxes." He explained the origin of the product.
Chord Electronics plans to officially launch the Suzi system this fall. The new product launch also showcased a new version of the Hugo M Scaler. We look forward to seeing it in action at headphone festivals or audio exhibitions held in Korea.
The Suzi system, which transcends the boundaries of traditional audio systems through its modular design, is expected to offer users new freedom. Chord Electronics' journey, which combines creative ideas and innovative technology, is expected to attract further attention.
