The Chord Electronics Huei is a compact, high-performance MM/MC phono stage designed to integrate turntables into high-quality hi-fi systems. It provides wide cartridge compatibility via multiple user-selectable gain and impedance settings, supports both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges, and offers a switchable rumble filter (Rausch/Rausch Slope) to reduce low-frequency noise. The unit features front-panel, microprocessor-controlled push-button operation with colour-coded indicators for easy selection of MM/MC, gain, impedance and filter settings, and includes RCA inputs plus both unbalanced (RCA) and balanced (XLR) outputs.
