MAKING THE CONNECTION

cables that are better by design


Nordost cables look different because they are different distinctly different. Why? Because only we can make cables this way. That matters because every aspect of a cables design affects its performance: materials, shape, size, connectors and the process by which it is produced. When you specialize in manufacturing high-technology cable solutions for the mission critical space, aviation and medical industries its no surprise that you have to create innovative answers to complex performance demands. The result is a raft of proprietary techniques and technologies that have materially extended the performance envelope techniques and technologies that we also apply to our purpose built range of world-class audio leads. Our cables employ extruded Teon insulation, a unique approach that combines the best possible dielectric material with greater geometrical accuracy and closer tolerances, vital factors when it comes to cable performance. It also allows us to produce our trademark at speaker cables and revolutionary micromonolament conductors, both of which have delivered huge advances in the state of the art. Unlike the vast majority of audio cable companies, actually producing our own conductors allows us to optimize materials, dimensions and geometry to maximize performance at each price level. Our Balanced Design Concept ensures that we also maintain complete consistency of the conductors and dielectric materials within a cable family, an approach that we have pioneered and that delivers a demonstrably more coherent musical performance. Combine the superiority of these manufacturing techniques with the care we put into creating complete product lines, with matched AC power, signal and speaker leads, and the careful selection of the very best, lightweight connectors and it should come as no surprise that Nordost leads the world when it comes to delivering high-quality two-channel and AV performance.

Wyrewizard

your one stop cable shop


...this is a cable that tells it like it is
Dreamcaster Interconnect (Best Buy) Richard Black, Hi-Fi Choice

The Wyrewizard cable range represents a comprehensive family of AC, signal and speaker leads designed to offer superb performance at an affordable price, meaning that even in the most complex, multi-source AV systems and installations, you dont need to skimp on cable quality. Solid-core conductors and FEP insulation across the range mean that you can select cables according to priority without compromising system coherence, whilst the Magus power cord and Shamen digital interconnect employ the same micro-monolament construction for these critical applications that you will nd in the legendary Valhalla cables.

Flatline

the cable revolution


Nordosts thinner than a credit card at speaker cables took the audio world by storm when they rst appeared, offering a balance of performance, value and practicality that still hasnt been bettered. Combining solid core conductors with our proprietary extruded Teon construction gives these cables their distinctive appearance and telling performance advantage. The classic Flatline is available in single and bi-wire congurations, while Blue Heaven an Red Dawn raise the bar with silver-plated copper conductors and matching interconnects. Installation and AV demands are met by the 2Flat and 4Flat speaker cables and purpose built BassLine sub-woofer interconnect.

If you are planning to purchase cables in, or anywhere near this price range (up as well as down) Nordost Blue Heaven is strongly recommended for audition.

state of the art technology for the real world


(Baldur) serves up the greatest amount of detail (and) manages to differentiate dynamic subtleties with ease. The top extends beautifully, and its incredibly rhythmically precise.

Analog Interconnects
When the now legendary Valhalla cables rst appeared, their proprietary micro mono-lament technology and solid core conductors redened the parameters of cable performance. The Norse series has brought that same technology within reach of real world listeners, delivering a complete range of signal and AC leads that share the same construction and materials, allowing listeners to choose their performance level, prioritizing within their system without impacting on musical coherence. The result is a musical performance that few cables can match at prices that are genuinely realistic.

Valhalla

the high-end benchmark


When we rst introduced the Valhalla cables in the year 2001, they rapidly became the standard benchmark for high-end performance, the product that all others tried (and failed) to beat. Their multiple silver-plated solid-core, micro mono-lament conductors set new standards for transmission speed, phase accuracy and low-loss signal transmission a technical performance only surpassed by the dual micro mono-lament conductors developed for the Valhalla AC cord. Musically, listeners revelled in the unprecedented dynamic range, detail and sheer energy, a sound so unconstrained and delicate, yet explosive when required, that it challenged our notions of what was possible.

Once youve heard these cables youll realize that, regardless of budget, they are so cost effective that far from being an accessory or luxury afterthought, they should be the rst name on the system team sheet.

Odin

simply the best


When you have to have the best and cost really is no object, The Odin family offers the ultimate audio solution. Dual micro mono-lament conductor technology throughout the range minimizes dielectric effects from the cable itself, while Total Signal Control virtual solid shielding protects delicate signals from the outside world. Combined with the best possible connectors and complete material consistency across the range, the musical results genuinely redene the state of the art. This is no idle boast: everybody who loves music should hear Odin; everybody who loves music should hear just how good their equipment can sound.

This cable has rendered my system signicantly more convincing, more alive, more compelling than any other single change I can recall
