Product Information
Now fitted with improved insulation and plugs, the Chord Company ShawlineX ARAY Analogue XLR 0.5m cable is better than ever.
Improved by the X factor
Replacing the PTFE insulation with high performance XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene) improves the performance of this already impressive cable. As used in their high-end Signature XL cable, XLPE outperformed PTFE in listening tests. Superior insulation reduces interference, giving a smoother, more natural sound with enhanced detail. Silver-plated conductors and a composite shield help deliver the maximum amount of musical detail.
ARAY geometry
The ShawlineX ARAY analogue cables use the same ARAY conductor geometry as Chord’s reference cables, producing a ground-breaking design. All ARAY cables have an extraordinary degree of musical transparency and the ShawlineX Analogue transforms the performance of the new breed of DACs, CD players and Streamers.
Bespoke cable
For the best performance possible, Chord have added a third conductor in their hand built XLR range. That means three identical conductors for all three connections, as well the Tuned ARAY conductor technology. This promotes the most balanced sound and the least distortion possible.
Top quality ChorAlloy XLR plugs
The ShawlineX ARAY Analogue XLR cables are fitted with the latest version of the Chord Company’s XLR plugs. These use the next generation of pin-plating technology – ChorAlloy. This uses a multi-metal plating process to give the optimum combination of conductivity and durability. This means that you get the most musical detail, over the longest period of time possible.
