Frey 2 USB C Adaptor
(0.17m long)
The Frey 2 USB C Adapter gives audio enthusiasts who have previously invested in high-end USB cables the opportunity to continue to use those cables after upgrading to a source that requires USB C compatibility. Like the Frey 2 USB Cable, the adapter uses solid core, silver-plated 99.99999% OFC signal conductors. The use of solid core conductors eliminates the negative effects of strand interaction and skin effect. Each conductor is precision wound to correspond accurately with USB’s unique, hybrid twisted pair/non twisted pair geometry. The Frey 2 USB C Adapter utilizes Nordost’s proprietary FEP Micro Mono-Filament technology, which lowers the capacitance of the cable, both increasing signal speed and bandwidth. The conductors are then shielded with a dual layer of braid and foil shielding, to eliminate EMI and RFI and even comply with 3.0 standards. Before being terminated, the Frey 2 USB C Adapter is cut to a mechanically tuned length, which reduces internal microphonics and high-frequency impedance resonance. The Frey 2 USB C Adapter extends the life of your current USB cables while maintaining the hi-fidelity performance of your home sound system.
Norse 2 - High Performance Cables
The Norse 2 family is the second tier in Nordost’s product line, delivering the depth, precision, and nuance previously only found in live performances.
Norse 2 cables are constructed using silver-plated, OFC solid core conductors, extruded FEP insulation, and a mechanically tuned construction which, together, form the basis of Nordost’s great sound. Norse 2 cables build upon those fundamental elements, employing even further technological advances, unlocking the full potential that hifi audio systems have to offer.
After thirty years of extensive research and development, Nordost has perfected a proprietary technique called Mono-Filament technology, which creates a virtual air dielectric by winding an FEP filament in a precise spiral around each individual conductor before extruding an outer FEP “sleeve” around it. By minimizing contact with the conductor, Mono-Filament technology increases signal transfer speeds while enhancing mechanical damping and geometrical precision.
Nordost has also taken a step beyond its original mechanically tuned construction and introduced mechanically tuned lengths, reducing internal microphony and high-frequency impedance resonance.
Frey 2
Nordost’s Frey 2 cables are the second tier in our mid-range, Norse 2 family. Maintaining consistency with our entry-level products, Frey 2 cables use the same core design as the Leif ranges while introducing state-of-the-art technologies that were first seen in the acclaimed and much sought after Valhalla and Odin ranges. Advances such as Dual Mono-Filament technology and mechanically tuned lengths as well as specially designed, proprietary MoonGlo connectors all make appearances throughout the Frey 2 range, elevating the performance of the cables and bolstering your system as a result. The Frey 2 cables introduce a new realm of sonic possibilities to your sound system, allowing you to enjoy high fidelity performances in a reasonable price range.
USB Cables
Computer audio can finally compete with analog systems thanks to Nordost’s range of USB cables. These USB cables provide the solution you need to achieve the superb sound staging, wide dynamic range, precise timing, and emotion you have been looking for in computer audio. With a wide variety of both termination possibilities and standards, Nordost’s USB selection has you covered for virtually any component in the hifi industry that requires a USB connection. Only Nordost’s, high-speed, low-loss cables will ensure that all the necessary information will be delivered with the efficiency and diligence needed to maintain the correct impedance, dramatically lifting your hifi system to a new level of performance.
