Chord ShawlineX ARAY Analogue RCA

Our unique ARAY technology cables are hand built, with precision, in the UK. ShawlineX RCA features the latest XLPE insulated, silver-plated conductors and a composite shield that works over a wide bandwidth.

ShawlineX RCA cables are turntable-ready as standard.

Fitted with Chord VEE 3 ChorAlloy™plated RCA plugs and available in 0.5 and 1m standard lengths with custom lengths/terminations to order including tone arm and mini-jack options.

Chord Company Shawline range places refinement and sophistication centre stage. A wide variety of analogue and digital connections are available alongside the latest XLPE insulated speaker cable. The range now boasts a dedicated tone arm cable, HDMI AOC, speaker cable and an updated power cable with multiple connector options. Our unique ARAY geometry is applied wherever possible along with increasingly complex layers of shielding.

Why XLPE?

The construction and specification of all Chord Company cables are constantly evolving, allowing us to adapt quickly and take advantage of the latest technology. Insulation materials in particular have made great leaps forward which is why we are moving to XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) for ShawlineX ARAY.

After a succesful introduction via various Chord Company speaker cables it was logical to share the benefits of XLPE insulation with our interconnects. On the surface this would appear to be a fairly simple undertaking but, like many of these things, it got complicated..

Several versions and much field testing later we are very happy to announce that XLPE will now be incorporated into all Shawline analogue interconnects.
