Ultrafide formally launches the ‘Ultra Sigma’ combo Ultrafide Audio, February 23, 2024

Taking MC2 Audio’s industry-leading pro sound to the domestic market, we have now formally launched our debut Hi-Fi amplification products – the ‘Ultra Sigma’ pre/power combo.

Initially unveiled in Q4 2023, the U4PRE preamplifier and U500DC amplifier pair are now on general release in Q1 2024 with the initial soft launch immediately selling out – shipping to 13 countries in the process – offering audiophiles worldwide a new level of sonic quality for their home systems. 

 Ultrafide stands for ultra-fidelity audio and following parent company MC2’s pioneering work in live and studio sound for three decades, it is now laser-focused on the domestic market. No application constraints, no logistical hurdles, no compromises – just the best engineering, design and components to bring the finest possible sound to the home.

 Lead product designer and audio engineer Alex Cooper was given a blank canvas with which to operate for Ultrafide products and freedom to over-engineer, with the sole goal of audio quality, sonic purity and unrivalled stereo image – resulting in the Ultra Sigma combo.

 Designed to work perfectly in tandem but equally as effective individually, both Ultra Sigma units are priced at £4,500 inc. VAT (each).

 Mark Bailey, product specialist at Ultrafide Audio and MC2, said:“Ultrafide is here to bring pro sound to the home, using decades of sonic pedigree to provide a new level of hifi amplification and audio quality to the domestic market.

 “We’re also here to be honest about what that means – and that’s simplicity. After all, audio is about using your ears and doing what’s best for the music, not just satisfying a spec sheet.”

 “With that ethos in mind and without the constraints or design fundamentals that come with the professional market, we viewed this project as a completely fresh start. What would we want our ideal home system to sound and look like? Harnessing this approach and having no compromises on engineering and component quality, Alex and the team got to work and we couldn’t be prouder of the results.”

“We firmly believe the Ultra Sigma combo stacks up next to anything on the market and we’re offering a new perspective for audiophiles with our U4PRE and U500DC products. One thing’s for sure, pro sound is homebound!”
