Manual

_

6 // 24

There are no user-
serviceable components 
within the ULTIMA 6 

or its power supply. Dangerous 
voltages/currents exist within 
the ULTIMA 6 and its power 
supply, posing a severe risk of 
electrocution and/or fire. 

Never attempt to 
open, dismantle or 
apply internal third-

party devices to it or insert 
anything other than the listed 
interconnects or speaker cables 
within this user manual. 

If the ULTIMA 6 develops a 
fault or the casework becomes 
damaged, immediately 
disconnect from the mains power 
supply and connected equipment 
and contact Chord Electronics 
for further advice.

frequency interference

1.3

With a thick, solid aluminium 
chassis, the ULTIMA 6’s casework 
largely protects the sensitive 
internal circuitry from radio 
frequency interference. However, 
for optimal performance, it is 
recommended that the following 
points are observed:

 

 

1.

Consider placing the  

  ULTIMA 6 away from 
  wireless routers.

 

 

2.

Separate the  

  ULTIMA 6 from  
  amplifiers using  

 

 

 

toroidal transformers. 

 

3.

Operate mobile  

  phones at a distance  
  to avoid interference.

Although the ULTIMA 
6 is largely shielded, 
it can generate radio 

frequency interference that 
may have an effect on radio 
and television reception. If this 
occurs, please reconsider your 
placement.
