Chord Company C-ScreenX speaker cable

Chord Company C-ScreenX speaker cable

Chord Company C-screenX is a shielded speaker cable aimed at both audio and home cinema systems and is a cost-effective upgrade for anyone who wants the best performance on a budget.

Now featuring improved XLPE insulation, it joins the award-winning line-up of Chord Company shielded speaker cables, including the acclaimed ClearwayX, ShawlineX and EpicX/XL.

The Chord Company’s design objective was to produce a cable discreet enough for easy fitting and routing, with all the performance benefits that shielding can bring.

C-screenX is just 9mm 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-screenX features multi-stranded oxygen-free copper conductors, insulated with XLPE 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-screenX has the same characteristics as the Chord Company’s 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.

Value

At just £10.00 per metre and with the unquestionable performance one might expect from a Chord Company cable, C-screenX 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 fit/route.

Chord Ohmic plugs

ChordOhmic ChorAlloy™ plated 4mm and spade loudspeaker connectors are designed to bring electrical and sonic benefits to speaker cables everywhere. Optimum contact via Hex-gun crimp termination.

The plugs are fitted as standard to all new Chord Company speaker cable sets as well as being separately available as a retro-fit upgrade, enabling this revolutionary 4mm connector to improve existing Chord Company cables or any other cable brand for that matter!

For many years Chord have been using silver-plated copper conductors in their designs. Their silver-plated designs are paired with ChorAlloy™ plated connectors. Using silver in cables can be misunderstood, as many people still associate the use of silver with a bright, overbearing sound characteristic. In their experience, however, this brightness is actually caused by a poor choice of insulation material rather than the silver!
