Chord

The Chord Company has been designing, manufacturing and selling interconnects and speaker cable for almost 25 years. Every cable that The Chord Company supplies is designed within the company and apart from a couple of exceptions, every product is assembled and tested at the company's facility, set deep 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. The Chrysalis cable had a remarkably well-balanced set of performance characteristics and from this, The Chord Company's 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 Chord Co believe that anyone who listens to their cables should be able to clearly and easily hear the benefits that their cables can bring to the enjoyment of music and film, and that these benefits should justify the cost of the product.

High quality products should be backed up by high quality customer service. It's as simple as that. Whether by e-mail, telephone or via one of our many retailers or distributors, we aim to offer the best possible advice with regard to the matching of our products to the many levels of hi-fi and home cinema systems available. In-house production means thatwe can respond quickly and efficiently to customer demand, be it unusual terminations or non-standard cable lengths.

Our rigorous quality assurance and testing process allows us to offer a 10-year warranty on all our products. Our extensive knowledge of specialist terminations means that mistakes are rare but when they do occur, they will be dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Carnival Classic

The entire range of Chord speaker cables share broadly similar design principles. Chord Carnival Classic is similar to Leyline 2 in its use of Oxygen free multi-strand copper conductors and polyethylene conductor insulation. The differences are in the diameter of the conductors and the diameter of the polyethylene insulation that surrounds the conductors. The larger diameter conductors offer a lower resistance than those used in the Leyline and Carnival Classic will carry information across a wider frequency bandwidth. This is particularly noticeable across the bass frequencies and makes the Carnival an excellent choice for use with home cinema as well as hi-fi systems. Carnival Classic's ability to accurately carry dynamic information makes it a particularly good choice for the front three speakers of a home cinema system, with Chord Leyline carrying information to the rear speakers.

Solstice Speaker Cable

The Chord Solstice speaker cable takes its configuration from our award winning Signature speaker cable - likewise its heavy gauge, low resistance conductors.

Solstice speaker cable is terminated with our tried and tested gold-plated 4mm banana plug. Despite its apparent simplicity, this plug does consistently well in blind listening tests, offers an extremely secure fit, with a high pressure contact point and is extremely reliable. Solstice speaker cable can also be fitted with spade connectors and if necessary, BFA Camcon connectors.

Solstice Interconnect

The technical advances made during the development of the Chord Solstice make it one of the most flexible and compatible high-performance cables available. Solstice interconnects can be terminated with RCA/phono plugs, DIN plugs and XLR plugs. We have maintained a single material signal path by using silver-plated connectors within these plugs. All the joints are made with a high silver content solder.

The low mass RCA/phono plug is a Chord Company design, surrounded by our unique acrylic, vibration-damping plug surround.

Solstice Main Cable

In the search to obtain the best possible performance from the Solstice mains cable, we experimented with a wide variety of mains and IEC plugs, before fitting the widely respected Furutech gold-plated mains and IEC plugs. Not only were we very impressed with the overall build quality, in extensive listening tests they were repeatedly chosen as the best sounding plug.
