Chord ShawlineX Speaker Cable Per Metre is based around Chord Rumour (now known as RumourX) โ a favourite for 20+ years. The conductors are silver-plated, insulated with XLPE and arranged in a twisted pair configuration. To produce Chord ShawlineX, weโve taken the existing conductor layout, adding a special PVC internal jacket to reduce mechanical noise. Chord then applied the same high density, dual-layer foil and braid shield used on Chord Epic.
Insulation Material
Previous versions of ShawlineX/Rumour speaker cables used PTFE insulation and until Taylon, this was our โgo toโ material. Although expensive, PTFE offered the best performance.
While the high cost of Taylon prevents us from using this in all of our ranges, we found a suitable replacement known as XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene). This stood out following listening tests, and proved to be clearly (sonically) better than the PTFE in ShawlineX speaker cables.
Neutral Sound
ShawlineX cableโs neutral sound and is capable of carrying high levels of detail and dynamic information. Because of this, it will carry music in an extremely coherent manner.ย In other words, your music sounds more like it should.
The whole reason for using high frequency effective shielding is that by reducing interference, the cable is better able to carry the micro-dynamics and timing slurs that musicians use so much to define rhythm and expression.
The ShawlineX speaker cable also carries the very fine details that reveal more of the timbre of individual instruments. This allows you to look further into and get more involved in music, with the added benefit of enhancing the image and depth of the system itโs being used in.
ShawlineX speaker cable is available off the reel or terminated at our UK factory with ChordOhmic 4mm banana plugs or ChordOhmic spade connectors.
