Designed and manufactured in Great Britain

The Chord Electronics Huei was fully designed, engineered and manufactured in Great Britain. This high-quality phono preamplifier combines Chord Electronics' decades of experience in amplifier design with sophisticated circuitry for the precise processing of sensitive phono signals.

Its thoughtful design enables low-noise, detailed reproduction and makes it a versatile addition to demanding HiFi systems.

Flexible adjustment for MM and MC cartridges

The Huei supports both moving-magnet (MM) and moving-coil (MC) cartridges. Thanks to extensive gain and input impedance settings, it can be tailored to a wide variety of different cartridge systems.

The gain can be adjusted in eight steps. For MC cartridges, twelve selectable input impedances between 100 and 3,700 ohms are also available. This allows the phono preamplifier to be specifically matched to the electrical characteristics of the cartridge being used.

All settings are conveniently accessible via the controls on the front panel.

Microprocessor-controlled operation with memory function

The Huei features a particularly low-noise microprocessor control system that makes it easy to set the most important functions.

In addition to the eight-step gain adjustment and impedance selection, the device features a practical memory function that retains the selected settings.

An optional rumble filter also reduces low-frequency interference that can be caused by mechanical influences when playing records, for example. This allows the reproduction to be adapted to different turntables and listening conditions.

High-quality aluminium enclosure with distinctive design

The enclosure of the Chord Huei is precisely machined from a solid block of aviation-grade aluminium. Its compact dimensions are based on Chord Electronics' Qutest DAC and allow for space-saving integration into existing HiFi systems.

A viewing window on the top reveals the illuminated electronics inside. The illuminated, multi-coloured spherical control buttons, which are also used on other devices from the manufacturer, are also characteristic.

The gain, input impedance, MM/MC operating mode and rumble filter can be selected directly using these controls. The different colours make it easier to orient yourself and indicate the selected settings.

Versatile connection options

For connecting a turntable, the Chord Huei features a stereo RCA input. Both unbalanced RCA outputs and balanced XLR outputs are available for connection to a suitable preamplifier or power amplifier.

This allows the phono preamplifier to be flexibly integrated into different HiFi systems – both in combination with other Chord Electronics components and with devices from other manufacturers.

Power is supplied via an external 12-V power supply, which is included in the delivery.
