Applications

Home Audio Systems: The ShawlineX ARAY Analogue Subwoofer Cable is an excellent choice for connecting subwoofers in high-end home audio systems. Its high-quality construction ensures that the low-frequency signals are transferred with the utmost fidelity, preserving the power and impact of the bass.

Home Theater Setups: In home theater environments, the ShawlineX ARAY cable can be used to connect subwoofers to AV receivers or sound systems. Its robust shielding and precise conductor geometry make it suitable for delivering high-quality low-frequency audio, enhancing the overall cinematic experience.

Professional Audio: For professional audio environments, such as recording studios and sound engineering setups, the ShawlineX ARAY provides reliable and high-quality signal transmission. Its advanced shielding and high-purity conductors make it suitable for demanding applications where audio quality is critical.

ARAY Conductor Geometry

The ShawlineX ARAY features Chord's proprietary ARAY conductor geometry. This advanced design minimises interference and crosstalk, ensuring a clean and accurate signal path. The ARAY technology helps to maintain the integrity of the audio signal, providing enhanced detail and dynamics, particularly in the low-frequency range.

High-Quality Conductors

The cable uses high-purity, silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors. These conductors are chosen for their superior conductivity and ability to transmit low-frequency signals with minimal loss, resulting in more precise and powerful bass reproduction.

Advanced Shielding

To protect the audio signal from external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), the ShawlineX ARAY employs a high-density, dual-layer shielding system. This includes a combination of foil and high-density braid, which work together to provide robust protection against noise and interference.

Precision-Engineered Connectors

The cable is terminated with precision-engineered RCA connectors featuring silver-plated contacts. These connectors ensure a secure and reliable connection while offering excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, enhancing the overall durability and performance of the cable.

Polyethylene Insulation

The ShawlineX ARAY cable uses low-density polyethylene (LDPE) insulation around the conductors. LDPE is known for its excellent dielectric properties, which reduce signal distortion and contribute to the cable's high-fidelity performance, particularly in the transmission of low-frequency signals.

Vibration Damping

Chord Company incorporates advanced vibration damping techniques into the ShawlineX ARAY to minimise microphonic noise. This ensures that mechanical vibrations do not interfere with the audio signal, resulting in a cleaner and more precise bass output.

Handcrafted Construction

Each ShawlineX ARAY cable is handcrafted to exacting standards in the UK. The meticulous assembly process ensures consistent quality and performance, making each cable a reliable component of any high-end audio system.

Exceptional Low-Frequency Performance

The combination of ARAY conductor geometry, high-purity silver-plated OFC conductors, and advanced shielding results in a cable that delivers exceptional low-frequency performance. Users can expect clear, powerful, and detailed bass that brings out the best in their subwoofer.

Durable and Reliable

The ShawlineX ARAY cable's robust construction, including silver-plated connectors and vibration damping features, ensures long-lasting durability and reliable performance. This makes it a worthy investment for any serious audiophile or professional.

Versatile Compatibility

With its high-quality connectors and flexible design, the ShawlineX ARAY cable is compatible with a wide range of subwoofers and audio equipment. It can be used in various configurations and setups, making it a versatile addition to any audio system.
