2 Flat Speaker Cable
Nordost entered the hifi audio market with its groundbreaking flat speaker cable design. 2 Flat was one of the first cables to use the FEP extrusion technique that not only revolutionized the look, but the performance of speaker cables.
The geometrical and mechanical stability of this cable, comprised of two rectangular, solid core OFC conductors, ensures the low inductance and capacitance necessary to create truly state-of-the-art cables. The excellent sound quality and low signal loss of 2 Flat make it ideal for both hifi and home theater applications, where long runs for surround channel speakers are required to be discrete, yet offer high performance. Additionally, 2 Flat Speaker Cables’ extreme durability and thin construction (thinner than a credit card!) makes it the perfect choice for under-carpet installation. In fact, not only can 2 Flat be installed under-carpet, but it can be pushed under baseboards, cut into walls and then seamlessly spackled over and even buried underground without incurring any sound degradation.

Leifstyle - Simple solutions
High-quality, discreet, and durable — Nordost Leifstyle cables were built with these three characteristics in mind. Leifstyle cables provide the purity and accuracy in sound reproduction that music lovers crave, with a construction that separates them from the competition. These built-to-last cables are even designed to facilitate under-carpet or in-wall installation. Available in an extremely wide variety of lengths, these cables will always be able to accommodate any job, and their extreme flexibility ensures easy installation. While your Leifstyle cables may not be seen, they will certainly be heard with clarity! Leifstyle cables follow Nordost’s unique and simplistic cable philosophy: cables are connections, not filters — so you are left with an impression of the music, not of the cabling.
Speaker Cables
Nordost’s most iconic products are our revolutionary, flat speaker cables. Due to the intricate extrusion process employed during fabrication, Nordost is the only audio cable manufacturer with the ability to achieve this unique cable design. The flat nature of Nordost’s speaker cables results in a far superior performance level than that of the commonly seen “round” variety. Nordost’s comprehensive range of loudspeaker cables take every factor into consideration: transfer speed, strand interaction, “skin effect”, and signal loss. The result is a line of fast, low-mass cables with low resistance and impedance that cannot be replicated or out-performed by any other brand in the industry.
