Shawline HDMI AOC uses a high-quality chipset at both ends of the cable and the highest OM3 grade (over 10 Gigabit bandwidth) glass fibres rather than the typical OM2 (up to 1 Gigabit bandwidth). 

A high specification mains cable – designed, hand-built and rigorously tested in the UK. An updated and reworked version of the previous Power Chord, now featuring an improved, thicker stranded conductor and a redesigned, higher gauge braid wire shield.

Shawline Streaming interconnects are designed to offer the very best musical performance from streaming audio systems.

More and more people are discovering that a computer, a USB cable and a USB DAC can be a very good way to listen to music. There’s also no getting away from the fact that USB cables are extremely cheap and in theory have no effect on the quality of the digital signal they carry. Our problem is that every time we sit down to listen, we find they do have an effect.

Refinement and sophistication take centre stage. Hand built in UK with high-quality silver-plated conductors, XLPE insulation, complex layers of shielding and our unique ARAY geometry. A cable proven via hours of demo sessions with all manner of hi-fi equipment – so don’t think you won’t hear the benefit on an older system. The Shawline range boasts a dedicated tone arm cable, mini-jack options, HDMI AOC, power cables with multiple connector options, speaker cable and a variety of digital connections.

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

ShawlineX Subwoofer cable is hand built in the UK and features our unique ARAY technology,  XLPE insulated, silver-plated conductors and a composite shield that works over a wide bandwidth.

ShawlineX speaker cable is based around Chord Rumour (now known as RumourX) – a favourite for 20+ years.  The conductors are silver-plated, insulated with XLPE and arranged in a twisted pair configuration.

At some point in the late nineties a particularly well thought of DAC and transport began to appear with an XLR socket alongside the coaxial and Toslink sockets. It was we think, the first appearance of a pro-audio digital connection called AES/EBU on domestic equipment.

If you are fortunate enough to own one of the new generation of mid-price DACs, then the Signature Digital would be a very good cable to audition in your system. The Signature Super ARAY Digital uses the same Super ARAY conductor geometry as SarumT and our flagship ChordMusic digital cables. It replaces the previous Signature Tuned ARAY.

Signature Super ARAY streaming cable is a direct development of the Epic Streaming cable. The same high precision RJ45 connector (gold-plated contacts and soldered conductors) is used, along with the unique hard skin insulation.

Our first venture into USB cables was a consequence of having musicians working at the Chord Company. After copying a CD master recording to a laptop, we were shocked at the poor performance of the burned copies when compared to the original master CD.

SignatureX Power cable is designed, hand built and tested in the UK and benefits from the latest XLPE insulation as found in many of our speaker cables. This provides a consistently high-quality performance in any environment and across all audio/video applications.

A revelation in musical coherence – putting the performance first.

Launched in 1998 and our first interconnect to use serious shielding. Signature was the result of intensive research into high-frequency interference and the design has influenced every cable that we’ve developed since.  Signature cables are assembled by hand – a process that allows further enhancement via our unique ARAY technology.

The SignatureX Tuned ARAY tone arm cable uses separately shielded oxygen free copper silver-plated conductors in Tuned ARAY conductor geometry, XLPE insulation and dual layer foil and high density braid shielding effective to very high frequencies.

SignatureXL is the latest version of one of our longest running (and universally loved) products. The original Signature was our first high-frequency shielded speaker cable (2004) and marked a massive leap in speaker cable performance.

An instant upgrade over the basic wire or pressed metal versions, commonly found bridging the inputs on bi-wire speakers. Featuring the latest, hi-tech ChordOhmic 4mm plugs/spades.
