Odin 2 Analogue Interconnects
Odin 2 Analogue Interconnects achieve the ultimate interface available in the hifi industry. Nordost’s Supreme Reference interconnects consist of ten silver-plated, 23 AWG 99.999999% OFC conductors, each utilizing proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology and precise FEP extrusion techniques. These exacting processes, combined with a unique geometrical layout deliver unfettered signal transmission at incredible speeds.
Nordost’s design philosophy does not stop at the cable itself; its innovative technology extends to its connectors. Odin 2 phono and balanced interconnects benefit from their purpose built HOLO:PLUG® connectors. The low mass, dual ring design of the HOLO:PLUG® facilitates “asymmetrically balanced” cables, while the gold-plated, solid brass alloy pins reduce vibrations, eddy currents and harmful non-conductive elements when mated to other components. The combination of these aspects produces unprecedented resolution and seamless transfer of information, so that every nuance of musical detail is captured.
Lengths over 2m available: £3,450 per additional 1/2 meter pair
Odin 2 - Supreme Reference Cables
Nodost’s Supreme Reference, Odin 2 cables are designed to facilitate the perfect reproduction of sound. These exemplary products use every piece of revolutionary technique and technology in Nordost’s arsenal, in order to become the most celebrated range of audio cables in the hifi industry.
Each Odin 2 cable has a foundation of silver-plated, OFC solid core conductors, extruded FEP insulation, and a mechanically tuned construction. They then employ Nordost’s patented Dual Mono-Filament technology, where each conductor is intricately and uniformly wrapped in a twisted pair of FEP Mono-Filament, in order to create an air dielectric. These conductors are treated with a unique shielding technique known as TSC, which allows the cables to maintain signal transfer integrity while protecting them from the harmful effects of RFI and EMI.
Finally, Nordost’s proprietary HOLO:PLUG® connectors are introduced to the design. Each connector fits seamlessly with the internal geometry of the cable it houses, so when combined, these low mass, high end connectors create a perfect marriage of electrical and mechanical tuning.
Nordodst’s flagship cable range is the result of over thirty years of extensive research and development, great ingenuity and a sweeping application of industry knowledge. Odin 2 doesn’t just set the standard, it blows the standards away.
Analogue Interconnects
Your sound system deserves an audio cable that will allow your hifi components to shine—maximizing signal transmission without the distracting, and often degrading, effects of filtration and tonal enhancements. Nordost produces low-mass interconnects with optimal signal transfer speed and perfect impedance matching, which impart a neutral presence on your system, letting your components perform as they were intended. The defining factor in our signal cables isn’t found in filters, or rare exotic materials, but rather in precise manufacturing techniques and groundbreaking technology. Nordost’s neutral solution to cabling produces the perfect interconnects for any level sound system.
