Chord Company Clearway XLR 1m
Analogue XLR – XLR Interconnect
£175
”If you are considering an upgrade from a set of budget interconnects, the Clearway gives you every reason to re-explore your music collection.” ‘Hi-Fi Choice - Recommended’.
ARAY technology
The Clearway interconnect uses the same ARAY conductor geometry that was first used on the Chord C-line – with upgraded 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.
More realistic sound
The improvements mean that the Clearway carries more musical detail. Dynamics are better, instruments and voices sound more realistic and there is better definition and clarity. The Clearway will let you see further into and get more involved with the music you listen to.
Studio quality XLR plugs
The design of the Clearway Analogue cable means that the ARAY conductor configuration is adapted to produce a particularly good XLR terminated cable. The design allows using identical conductors for the hot, cold and earth connections. This allows us to produce an exceptionally neutral and musically transparent Clearway Analogue XLR cable. The Clearway analogue is fitted with Neutrik silver-plated XLR plugs.

Perfect cost to performance ratio
There are arguments that XLR cable construction is not critical because the signal path is grounded and indeed many professional studios use £10 per m cables from Mogami and the like.
However the Chord cables have great reviews and are terminated with excellent Neutrik plugs. I have been impressed by other Chord cables from the old Chameleon and current Clearway ranges so took the plunge and I have not been disappointed. Sound is tight and detailed across the frequency range with no flaws to my ears. Happy!
Used to connect analogue output from dual DAC to power amp.

You know Chord.
Excellent craftmanship and price. Sound wise it is dynamic, detailed and with Chord pronounced sound at the top, mids and bass. Sort of Audio Technica sound. OK, all cables sound the same, right? Listen to Chord and Atlas cables and you will get the picture.

Does exactly what it says "on the tin"!
I bought this pair of XLR cables as I needed to connect a newly acquired RME DAC to my preamp and wanted to do so using the balanced outputs, and this cable, whilst not the most hi-end in Chord Co.'s range, does exactly as the enclosed reviews suggest, I don't feel like I'm missing anything from my sources.

Very good quality
I bought this to go with the Cambridge Audio CXA81 and CXN. It feels like a quality product and I really like the sound I’m getting. I don’t know how much the cable is contributing to the result but I’m happy with my purchase.

XLR makes a difference
Upgraded from audiolab RCA phono to RCA phono to this XLR - XLR interconnect cable. Opened up the soundstage, sweetened the treble a wee bit with greater instrument clarity/separation.
Really great helpful friendly service.
