CHORD COMPANY EPICX ARAY INTERCONNECT LAUNCHED
Chord Company’s Epic interconnect has been upgraded with the British cables brand’s latest technologies.
Chord Company has upgraded their Epic interconnect with the very latest cable technologies from the factory, creating the new Chord Company EpicX ARAY.
ANALOGUE INTERCONNECTS
The original Epic quickly became one of the company’s most popular analogue interconnects, with a price point that naturally complements a wide range of high-performance HiFi equipment. The new EpicX ARAY represents the next generation and benefits from the latest Chord Company cable technologies, finessed over their near-40-year history.
CHORD COMPANY EPICX ARAY INTERCONNECT
EpicX ARAY builds on the Shawline interconnect, one-range-down and priced at £260, and benefits from heavier-gauge silver-plated conductors with upgraded geometry, plus increased shielding volume. EpicX ARAY also enjoys Chord Company’s performance-enhancing ARAY mechanical tuning technology, which is designed to optimise the potential of the heavy-gauge conductors.
XLPE INSULATION
EpicX ARAY’s ‘X’ suffix denotes the upgrade to XLPE (Cross-linked Polythene) insulation, an enhancement which has been rolling out across a number of Chord Company cables in recent times. Chord says that XLPE complements the high-performance shielding architecture and proprietary ARAY conductor geometry technology fundamental to the EpicX ARAY.
CHORALLOY
Handmade to order in England, with connectors in VEE 3 RCA, DIN or XLR configurations, EpicX ARAY’s connector contact areas/pins benefit from Chord Company’s innovative ChorAlloy multi-metal plating system, which offers lower intermodulation, full solderability and a tarnish-free finish.
A directional design, indicated by arrows on the heat-shrink, EpicX ARAY comes with a lifetime warranty against defective materials and workmanship.
