Cables are more than just a means of connecting a hi-fi or home cinema system together. Using the right combination of interconnects, mains and speaker cables will have a huge influence on the overall performance.

The Chord Company has spent twenty years researching, experimenting, designing and producing interconnects and speaker cables. We understand the critical elements and design parameters needed to produce cables that work synergistically together to create an outstanding performance from the system they are connected to.

We have distilled our years of experience into one musically spectacular set of products: Chord Solstice cables. A range of loudspeaker, interconnect and mains cables, conceived, designed and built to perform as a whole.

The Solstice cable system is not just revolutionary in concept, it is a musical revelation. Chord Solstice cables will not just reveal the real capabilities of your hi-fi components, they will allow you further into a musical performance than ever before.

 

THE SPEAKER CABLES

The Chord Solstice speaker cable takes its configuration from our award winning Signature speaker cable - likewise its heavy gauge, low resistance conductors.

Solstice speaker cable is terminated with our tried and tested gold-plated 4mm banana plug. Despite its apparent simplicity, this plug does consistently well in blind listening tests, offers an extremely secure fit, with a high pressure contact point and is extremely reliable. Solstice speaker cable can also be fitted with spade connectors and if necessary, BFA Camcon connectors.

 
THE INTERCONNECTS

The technical advances made during the development of the Chord Solstice make it one of the most flexible and compatible high-performance cables available. Solstice interconnects can be terminated with RCA/phono plugs, DIN plugs and XLR plugs. We have maintained a single material signal path by using silver-plated connectors within these plugs. All the joints are made with a high silver content solder.

The low mass RCA/phono plug is a Chord Company design, surrounded by our unique acrylic, vibration-damping plug surround.

 
 

THE MAINS CABLES

In the search to obtain the best possible performance from the Solstice mains cable, we experimented with a wide variety of mains and IEC plugs, before fitting the widely respected Furutech gold-plated mains and IEC plugs. Not only were we very impressed with the overall build quality, in extensive listening tests they were repeatedly chosen as the best sounding plug.
