Apart from a couple of exceptions, every product that the Chord Company produces is designed, assembled and tested at the company's facility, in the heart of Wiltshire. The Company was started in 1986 to produce and sell the Chord Chrysalis interconnect range. Never was a product so aptly named. From this, The Chord Companys outstanding range of interconnect cables has emerged and grown. The product line-up has evolved naturally but always with reference to existing Chord cables. This makes the Chord interconnect and speaker cable range remarkably consistent. The essential balance of performance characteristics is maintained throughout the range. The concept that speaker cables and interconnects can change and improve the performance of a hi-fi or home cinema system can be difficult to understand. Our answer to this is to ignore the words, ignore the hype and simply listen to the product. We carry demonstration stock and invite customers to try the cables for themselves.

Chord Epic Analogue DIN

Epic Analogue DIN
This is the first time that Chord have produced DIN cables in the Epic range. To improve musically on the Shawline DIN but without the Signature price tag wasn’t easy. Chord Company Epic DIN construction is a complete departure from the other analogue cables in the Epic range.
Epic DIN uses high bandwidth conductors normally found in our higher cable ranges. It also uses multi-tiered shielding systems for all conductor pairs, reducing interaction between the different signals that DIN cables need to carry. This low noise high bandwidth shielding ensures that the listener obtains the maximum benefit from the latest DR upgrades that have been so successfully introduced into Naim Audio products.

Chord Signature Super ARAY AES/EBU Digital Interconnect Cable
|
|
At some point in the late nineties a particularly well thought of DAC and transport began to appear with an XLR socket alongside the coaxial and Toslink sockets. It was the first appearance of a pro-audio digital connection called AES/EBU on domestic equipment.
Chord and quite a lot of the industry were rather exited. Chord had the DAC and transport so the first thing they did was to get some pro-audio correct (110 Ohm) impedance cable and build a 1m cable using Neutrik XLRs. When compared to a digital co-axial cable, the75 Ohm S/PDIF connection was better in every way. They found a cable that worked – it was nowhere near the 110 Ohm impedance but sounded good. Since then it’s a connection they’ve approached with caution.

Chord Odyssey X Speaker Cable

Odyssey X speaker cable
Chord Odyssey X uses the same materials as Rumour X. Odyssey’s heavier gauge conductors bring so much more detail and dynamics to a system, along with a degree of control and definition that can transform the performance of both floor and stand mounted loudspeakers. Odyssey was launched in 1998 and set a new standard of performance. It’s neutrality, its compatibility and consistency of performance from system to system made it very rapidly our most popular speaker cable.

Rumour X speaker cable
The prime choice for any high-spec’ sound/vision installation . High performance technology with discreet proportions. Tried, tested and recommended by audio manufacturers, custom installers and end-users.
Chord Rumour was our second attempt at producing a speaker cable. The first two being Myth and Legend – copper and polyethylene flat cables in single and bi-wire configuration. We were also investigating speaker cables that used silver-plated conductors in combination with PTFE insulation. We had been experimenting with twisted pair conductor configurations, as at the time, heavy gauge parallel conductors were the standard for speaker cables. By twisting the conductors together, we could hear the noise floor of the system improve. We reached an ideal twist ratio and designed the cable around this.

Clearway Analogue XLR
Chord have taken the design from the award winning C-line and upgraded all the materials to produce an outstanding value for money handmade high-performance analogue interconnect.
The Clearway interconnect uses the same ARAY conductor geometry that we first used on the Chord C-line, and we’ve upgraded all the materials, The ARAY geometry conductors are heavier gauge oxygen free copper, insulation has been upgraded to FEP and the shielding is a dual-layer counter-wound heavy gauge foil design.

Shawline Digital RCA and BNC
Digital cables are not all the same and it doesn’t take much listening to hear that. Detail is great, but it is pointless hearing everything the bass and drums are doing if they’re not doing it together. The Shawline Digital brings coherence and detail together.
The Shawline Digital uses an ARAY conductor configuration that immediately makes it very different to most other digital cables. Just for a start – and like our other digital cables it uses identical conductors for the signal and the return, and there’s an ARAY conductor as well. The Shawline Digital uses silver-plated PTFE insulated conductors and they’re surrounded by a dual layer high density braid and foil shield to minimise high frequency interference. The design is influenced by the high end digital cables that we developed, particularly by the degree of musical coherence they bought to systems. Most of our dealers have demonstration stock – so go have a listen. When an improvement is a musical one it’s very easy to hear.

ChordOhmic 4mm banana plug - Speaker Cable Termination Kit
|
|
The new ChordOhmic silver-plated loudspeaker plugs are designed to bring both the electrical and sonic benefits of silver to speaker cables everywhere. The new plugs will be fitted to all Chord Company speaker cables, as well as being separately available as a retro-fit upgrade (in sets of 4), enabling this revolutionary 4mm connector to improve other brands of cable, too.
For many years Chord have been using silver-plated copper conductors in their designs. Their silver-plated designs are paired with silver-plated connectors. Using silver in cables can be misunderstood, as many people still associate the use of silver with a bright, overbearing sound characteristic. In Chord's experience, however, this brightness is actually caused by a poor choice of insulation material rather than the silver! The only major exception to this rule has been Chord Company gold-plated (4mm/spade) speaker connectors.
