Pro Audio

“I need to hear every detail and nuance to be able to make critical decisions on my clients music. With my DAVE, I feel informed, the soundstage, exceptional playback and minute detail is all there as if it was in the original recording. I’ve been depending on Chord for close to 30 years, from power amps in the old days to now with today’s best DACs. From my Mojo on the road to my DAVE in the studio, I’m always hearing what I need, to make the informed decisions”

“Chord Electronics’ DAVE and M Scaler have transformed my experience of listening to music into something magical. I can’t imagine working without them.”

“I immediately recognized a powerful and cinematic quality to Chord’s DAVE. It has become indispensable in my audio mastering setup. Dave functions as both my main DAC which feeds my analog mastering chain, and also serves as a detailed headphone amplifier for precision headphone mastering.”

“I have been using CHORD products for years. It started with the mojo that made the sound from iPhone have mastering-grade conversion. I then started trying some of the other DACs which all sound incredible. I saw that CHORD made power amps. So I thought let’s try one and see. My jaw dropped to the floor. Absolutely incredible. I have no idea how they make speakers sound so clear and 3 dimensional while still being incredible musical and accurate. You really can’t find any other amp that comes close. For me, I rely on my CHORD amp every single day for mixing and mastering. It gets me where I need to go so effortless and it is truly a treat to work on.”

“Floored. I forgot music could sound this good.”

“Chord’s products are one of the few that find their way in both the recreational and professional sides of my music: I enjoy listening to my favourite records through them, and I also cherish their portrayal of what I am working on in the studio, whether it’s with the mojo2, the Hugo2 or Dave/MScaler pairing.”

“Great for mastering, studio, home use – whatever your needs are”

“It’s not just the traditional hi-fi adjectives you’d normally use to describe equipment, it’s actually much deeper”

“Your Mojo DAC rocks! I love mine! We encourage folks to use that product. You can hear all the music from whatever it is connected to. Amazing quality!”

“As an owner of a Mojo, a Hugo 2 and a Qutest, I can honestly say that when I listen to music, it’s through a Chord unit!”

“My first mixes ‘in the box’ were OK but not quite what I was looking for. But now, using Hugo 2 for monitoring, I can’t be happier with them. I can now hear the subtleties that make a mix come to life.”

“My name is Paul Lardenoije and I work as a Senior Sound Engineer at Dutch National Opera & Ballet. We record ballets and operas for Archive, Trailers, SACD, DVD and we provide live streams and (live) radio broadcasts. Since using the HUGO TT (2) headphone amplifier I am a lot less tired after the sometimes very long opera recordings. This in combination with the AKG 702 headphones, which is very comfortable. Previously we used the Sonodore HPA-1000 headphone amplifier and the headphone output from our desk (Stagetec Aurus Platinum) and after the recording (sometimes up to 5 hours) you were really very tired. The sound image now is much more transparent, phase-free and much more analytical than before. Because listening is less tiring, we continue to achieve a better result in a less laborious way and that result is what matters in the end.”

“Consistency in monitoring is critical, and having control over as much of the chain as possible is the only way to ensure that consistency. The Hugo 2 provides my Focal Clear Pro headphones the high quality DAC and Solid amplification, with punch and detail, that I can take wherever I need it.”

Mojo 2 – “Suitable for mixing, mastering work and checking sound sources. Supports high sampling rates and can play back almost any file format, including DSD. Clean, wide range, resilient bass sound.”

“The British-made Mojo 2 by Chord Electronics is a sensational piece of pocket-sized audio wizardry. The compact design feels beautiful in the hands and is very tactile, the orbs and lighting look and feel great and the difference it will make to your headphones is simply astonishing. The warmth and clarity of sound with the Mojo 2 is spellbinding, and I’m well and truly under its spell. Absolutely in love with this thing! Stunning.”

“The Chord products present a rich, pure, and precise representation of source material not found in other D/A converters. The magic is in the transients!”

“The mojo 2 literally saved a mix for me. I was about to send it off, when I decided to double check it through the Mojo 2 just to see if I’d missed anything – I immediately realized I had to rebalance the whole bottom end. Now it’s an essential part of my listening chain.”

“Chord conversion is one of those things you didn’t realize you needed until you experience it. It’s like putting on a pair of sunglasses on a sunny day. It’s relief from the shortcomings of digital audio and inferior conversion in general. I remember the first time I mixed a couple songs through a Qutest. It may sound trite, but I just FELT different. I found myself leaning in physically and connecting more readily emotionally. I’ve heard all about taps and interpolation filters but the proof is in the pudding when you spend an afternoon working to improve the human connectivity of a piece of music to its listener through this gear. It’s just different.”

“Chord Electronics has the best conversion I’ve ever heard. The Mojo2 is an essential for me to have in a trusted headphone monitoring chain inside and out of the studio.”

“I use the Mojo2 as a DAC in the studio and also as reference for my mixes – it’s essential!”

“The Chord Mojo 2 has opened up a new world of sound depth and quality to my work as a documentary producer, both in the field and at my home studio.  I also get a desktop-quality DAC/AMP for easy listening that fits in my pocket, immersing me in the music wherever I may be.”

“It (Hugo TT) sounds like listening to music in 3D”

“The Mojo 2 has quickly become a invaluable part of my travel gear on the road. It’s a complete game changer as far as working while on tour and being able to trust what I’m hearing when checking mixes, masters etc. It also is just a joy to listen to music through in the dressing rooms and hotel rooms. It won’t ever leave my backpack”.

“In the search for a bit more clarity in my listening environment, I got tipped by a colleague to test the Chord Ultima Pro amplifiers. Little did I know that it was way beyond ‘a bit more clarity’ I was to expect. My speakers, which I love and trust, have never sounded this good – it sounds absolutely stunning. The woofers moves faster, which makes it sound tighter, punchier and more accurate. It’s crystal clear throughout the frequency spectrum. My mixes translates to perfection, and I often forget that they’re even in the signal path. I won’t work a single day without them ever again. Ever.”

“I love my Hugo2. It provides me the ability to mix on the road. With the fast turnarounds of the music industry, people are not expecting excuses of why things cannot be delivered on time. My Hugo2 allows me to get the same results mixing on the road as I would in the studio. Someone has never said “hey did you mix this on headphones” I strongly recommend it to anyone that is trying to level up their headphone experience and work quality!”

“The Hugo 2 is the centrepiece of our entire sound system. Experiencing music through the Hugo 2 has been a complete revelation – I am obsessed. There is a sensuality and clarity to every note that passes through it that has opened my mind and heart unlike any other audio equipment I’ve experienced. Chord’s creations are truly inspiring, works of art and I can’t stop listening to music through them!”
