More from Nordost:
Nordost’s Supreme Reference, Odin 2 cables are designed to facilitate the perfect reproduction of sound. These exemplary products use every piece of revolutionary technique and technology in Nordost’s arsenal, in order to become the most celebrated range of audio cables in the hifi industry.

Each Odin 2 cable has a foundation of silver-plated, OFC solid core conductors, extruded FEP insulation, and a mechanically tuned construction. They then employ Nordost’s patented Dual Mono-Filament technology, where each conductor is intricately and uniformly wrapped in a twisted pair of FEP Mono-Filament, in order to create an air dielectric. These conductors are treated with a unique shielding technique known as TSC, which allows the cables to maintain signal transfer integrity while protecting them from the harmful effects of RFI and EMI.

Finally, Nordost’s proprietary HOLO:PLUG® connectors are introduced to the design. Each connector fits seamlessly with the internal geometry of the cable it houses, so when combined, these low mass, high end connectors create a perfect marriage of electrical and mechanical tuning.

Nordodst’s flagship cable range is the result of over thirty years of extensive research and development, great ingenuity and a sweeping application of industry knowledge. Odin 2 doesn’t just set the standard, it blows the standards away.

ODIN 2 SPEAKER CABLES
The Odin 2 Loudspeaker Cable is constructed using 26 silver-plated, solid core conductors, each taking advantage of Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology and encased in a high purity class 1.003 FEP extrusion. The conductors are carefully arranged and precisely spaced on either side of a hollow inner core in order to provide a perfect mechanical interface along the length of the cable.

The meticulous layout of this flat speaker cable minimizes skin effect and reduces damping, while the mechanically tuned lengths reduce internal microphony and decrease high frequency impedance. This cable is terminated with Nordost’s gold-plated HOLO:PLUG® spade and Z-plug banana connectors to ensure maximum surface contact and signal transfer.

The state of the art technology applied to Nordost’s most advanced speaker cable provides extremely wide bandwidth signals along with unmatched dynamic resolution. The Odin 2 Loudspeaker Cable promises to deliver an impeccable and realistic performance from your hifi audio system.

Testing Process:

Cables are generally pretty simple and do not require a great deal of testing. We do, however, perform a visual inspection of all of the connectors for damage or significant wear. Most power and interconnect cables can be verified with a simple continuity test with a digital multimeter. Some cables feature dielectric bias systems which are powered by external power supplies or batteries. These devices are checked for proper function if applicable.

We do not perform A/B comparisons of cables in real world conditions and cannot offer objective observations in this regard.
