Detailed Description

ARAY Conductor Geometry

The C-line interconnect employs ARAY conductor geometry, derived from the Tuned ARAY configuration used in Chord's higher-end cables. This design optimizes the cable's ability to carry a coherent musical signal, enhancing audio quality across all connected devices.

Multi-strand Oxygen-Free Copper Conductors

The signal and return conductors are made from multi-strand oxygen-free copper, which minimizes signal loss and ensures that audio signals are transmitted with high fidelity. This choice of material is crucial for maintaining the purity of the audio signal.

High-Density Overwrapped Foil Shielding

The cable features high-density overwrapped foil shielding, which reduces signal loss caused by high-frequency interference. This shielding is essential for preserving the integrity of the audio signal, particularly in environments with a lot of electronic noise.

Direct Gold-Plating on RCA Plugs

The RCA plugs on the C-line interconnect are directly gold-plated, a process that Chord also uses on its VEE3 RCA plugs. This gold-plating improves signal transfer across all audio frequencies, ensuring a clear and precise audio output.

Over-Moulded Plug Surround

The over-moulded plug surround enhances the reliability of the connection, providing a robust and durable interface between the cable and the connected devices. This feature ensures a stable connection, reducing the risk of signal degradation over time.

Compatibility and Applications

The C-line interconnect is designed to work with a variety of line-level components, including CD players, streaming devices, DVD players, home theatre amplifiers, tuners, phono stages, and pre-to-power amplifier connections. It can also be used with RCA-equipped turntables, making it a versatile choice for different audio setups.
