Chord Company Shawline Analogue RCA

Shawline Analogue RCA

Chord Company ARAY cables were developed using their then flagship Sarum cable range.

The Shawline analogue cables use a similar ARAY conductor geometry and exhibit a similar degree of musical transparency.

Shawline Analogue cables can transform the performance of amplifiers, DACs, CD players and streamers.

ARAY cables require a high degree of precision that can only be achieved with painstaking hand assembly.

Chord Company Shawline is built using FEP insulated silver-plated conductors and a composite shielding material that works over a wide bandwidth and also reduces mechanical noise.

The cable is assembled within a flexible plastic tube chosen to further reduce mechanical noise.

Shawline Analogue RCA cables are turntable-ready as standard.

Chord VEE3 RCA plugs are direct silver-plated to improve signal transfer.

Chord Company can also terminate the Shawline Analogue with mini-jack or DIN plugs and by adding extra conductors they can produce an outstanding Shawline XLR cable.

The standard length is 1m and custom lengths are available to order.

THE CHORD COMPANY BEGAN

The Chord Company was formed in 1984. It all started over dinner one night in Salisbury, when a group of visiting Naim Audio USA retailers asked Naim Audio UK for a good-quality DIN-to-RCA interconnect. At the table, was one Sally Gibb, then married to a Naim Audio executive, who made the (historic) suggestion that she make the cables and start a business. With the blessing of Naim Audio, the journey to make cables for America began. With USA referring to cables as ‘cords’, the name The Chord Company, with its obvious musical connotations, seemed perfect and it quickly stuck. Sally drew a logo, designed the packaging and started testing prototypes. Completely British design and construction, although difficult to source at the time, was paramount and days of searching eventually led to suppliers of sufficient quality. Friends at Naim Audio provided expertise and advice, with many of them helping to build the cables. The first prototype was named “Chrysalis Cable” and the Americans swiftly returned with an initial order of 250! Cables were built, tested, packed and taken along to the Post Office. Invoices were typed on a typewriter! After two steady years, The Chord Company got its first press review (by Malcolm Steward) and then the phone started to ring…
