Shawline X speaker cable is based around Chord Rumour (now known as Rumour X) – a favourite for 20+ years. The conductors are silver-plated, insulated with XLPE and arranged in a twisted pair configuration. To produce Chord Shawline X, Chord has taken the existing conductor layout, added a specially chosen PVC internal jacket to reduce mechanical noise, before applying the same high density, dual-layer foil and braid shield used on Chord Epic.
ShawlineX Cables are supplied in pairs. So, selecting a 2m Speaker cable will give you 2 cables in 2 metre lengths.
Termination options are for all cables, so you can select the following:
- 4x Banana Plugs to 4x Spade Connectors
- 4x Spade Connectors to 4x Banana Plugs
- 4x Banana Plugs to 4x Banana Plugs
- 4x Spade Connectors to 4x Spade Connectors
Previous versions of Shawline/Rumour speaker cables used PTFE insulation (often referred to as Teflon™) and until the arrival of Taylon®, this was the “go to” material. Although expensive, PTFE offered the best performance.
Material technology is constantly developing and improving and alternatives to PTFE are now available. While the high cost of Taylon® prevented Chord from using this in all of their ranges, they found a suitable replacement among the family of insulation materials known as XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene). One particular version stood out and following listening tests, proved to be clearly (sonically) better than the PTFE in Shawline/Rumour speaker cables.
The whole reason for using high frequency effective shielding is that by reducing interference, the cable is better able to carry the micro-dynamics and timing slurs that musicians use so much to define rhythm and expression. The Shawline also carries the very fine details that reveal more of the timbre of individual instruments. This allows you to look further into and get more involved in music, with the added benefit of enhancing the image and depth of the system it’s being used in.
Shawline X speaker cable is terminated at the Chord UK factory with ChordOhmic 4mm banana plugs or ChordOhmic spade connectors.
