C-screen is a brand new shielded speaker cable aimed at both audio and home cinema systems.  It joins the award-winning line up of Chord Company shielded speaker cables, including the acclaimed Clearway and the high-performance Signature Reference.

Our design objective was to produce a cable discreet enough for easy installation, with all the performance benefits that shielding can bring.  C-screen is just 8mm in diameter and flexible enough to route around corners with ease. It’s finished with a white outer jacket which protects the shielding and makes it virtually invisible against white skirting boards.

C-screen features multi-stranded oxygen-free copper conductors, insulated with low-density polyethylene and arranged in a twisted-pair configuration to reduce interference. The cable is then enclosed in a PVC casing that reduces mechanical noise and spaces the conductors correctly, relative to the twin-foil shielding.

C-screen has the same characteristics as our other shielded speaker cables: the ability to carry a musical signal with a genuine sense of musical coherence and involvement; shielded speaker cables bring real performance benefits to both hi-fi and home cinema systems, where interference can seriously affect sound quality.

At just £5.00 per metre and with the unquestionable performance one might expect from a Chord Company cable, C-screen is an ideal product for home cinema systems, where often complex cable-run requirements are the norm. It performs extremely well over longer runs and is easy to install.

 

We are pleased to announce that the much anticipated ChordMusic range is now available for demonstration at Cymbiosis in Leicestershire.  They currently have in stock – DIN, XLR and RCA versions of this amazing, high-performance audio cable.

Chord Sarum Super ARAY USB cable

What’s so remarkable about the Tuned ARAY and Super ARAY cables is just how similar the improvements are. When we first developed the Sarum Tuned ARAY cable range, we started by producing the analogue and coaxial digital versions. Later we experimented with streaming and USB cables. The application of Tuned ARAY technology varies substantially between cable types. The results, however, are extremely consistent.

What made Tuned ARAY so special was its ability to carry a musical signal more coherently than any other cable we’d heard. Suddenly, systems we knew well moved to a completely new level of performance. Most importantly, we found that CD players, DACs and streamers were all capable of producing really coherent and involving music. This was a transformation.

The first Super ARAY cable we developed was the Sarum Power Chord. The improvements make a dramatic difference to just about every aspect of a musical performance. The extra fine detail, the sense of micro-dynamics and the tonality all take a really big step forwards.

We went on to develop the Super ARAY analogue and digital cables and then the Super ARAY streaming cable. The Super ARAY versions kept all the magical coherence that adding a Tuned ARAY cable to your system brought but dramatically improved the levels of detail, especially when it came to definition and pitch. There were also big improvements to timbre.

Super ARAY USB didn’t happen straight away.  USB cables work in a different way and it actually took us quite a while to work out what to do. Finally, we have the Sarum Super ARAY USB. We are more than aware of the prevailing opinions that digital cables should make no difference. Those of you who have one of our existing USB cables will have your own views on that and anyone with an existing Sarum Tuned ARAY USB cable should contact their dealer and get their cable upgraded to Super ARAY spec.

The change from Tuned ARAY technology to Super ARAY technology has been quite profound and this certainly applies to the new Sarum Super ARAY USB cable.  Increasing numbers of high end digital systems rely on a USB cable. This is a cable that anyone streaming high quality audio to a USB DAC needs to have a listen to.
