VALHALLA 2 โ REFERENCE CABLES
Valhalla 2 is Nordostโs Reference range of high performance audio cables. These exemplary products benefit from three decades of research and development, resulting in cutting edge production techniques and technological innovations.
Key Technologies and Innovations
Micro Mono-Filament Technology
This proprietary technology involves wrapping conductors with a fine thread, creating a virtual air dielectric that reduces insulation contact and capacitance. This results in faster signal transmission, reduced signal loss, and improved sound quality.
Dual Mono-Filament Technology
An advanced version of Micro Mono-Filament, this technique involves wrapping two FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) threads around each conductor, further reducing insulation contact and enhancing signal speed and clarity.
Mechanically Tuned Lengths
Nordost carefully tunes the length of each cable to minimize high-frequency impedance resonance, ensuring that the cables deliver the most accurate and dynamic signal transfer possible.
Silver-Plated Conductors
Many Nordost cables use silver-plated, oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, which offer superior conductivity and enhanced high-frequency performance, resulting in clearer, more detailed sound reproduction.
