NORDOST REFERENCE BI-WIRE JUMPERS

NORDOST REFERENCE BI-WIRE JUMPERS

Introduction:

The Nordost Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers are meticulously designed to provide a high-quality connection for loudspeakers with bi-wire terminals. These jumpers serve as an essential upgrade for any audio system, bridging the gap between high-frequency and low-frequency terminals with precision and accuracy. Part of Nordost’s Reference Series, they are crafted using the same advanced technology and materials as Nordost’s premium speaker cables, ensuring that your speakers receive the best possible signal transfer. In this overview, we’ll explore the features, technical specifications, and the benefits of incorporating the Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers into your setup.

Key Features

• Silver-Plated Solid Core Conductors: The Nordost Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers are constructed with high-purity, silver-plated solid-core Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors, ensuring superior conductivity and minimal signal loss. This results in a cleaner, more detailed audio signal that enhances the overall sound quality of your speakers.
• Precision Termination: These jumpers feature high-quality terminations with Nordost’s low-mass spade or banana connectors, ensuring a secure and optimal connection between the high-frequency and low-frequency terminals of your speakers.
• Low Capacitance and Inductance: Designed to maintain low capacitance and inductance, the Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers ensure that signal transfer remains unimpeded, preserving the full range and dynamic qualities of your audio system.
• Mechanically Tuned Lengths: The jumpers are engineered with mechanically tuned lengths, a design feature that helps to reduce internal microphonic effects and resonance, resulting in a cleaner, more accurate signal transfer.

Technical Specifications

Benefits of Nordost Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers

• Enhanced Signal Transfer: The silver-plated, solid-core conductors ensure superior conductivity and signal purity, resulting in a more accurate and transparent sound. This allows you to experience your music with improved detail, clarity, and dynamics.
• Superior Build Quality: Nordost’s attention to detail in the construction of the Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers ensures that they offer a secure and reliable connection that maintains optimal performance over time.
• Improved Soundstage and Imaging: By replacing the standard metal links or jumper plates commonly found on bi-wireable speakers, the Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers offer a noticeable improvement in soundstage, imaging, and overall sonic accuracy.

Ideal Applications

The Nordost Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers are ideal for:

• Bi-Wireable Loudspeakers: Perfect for connecting the high and low-frequency terminals on speakers with bi-wire capabilities, ensuring that the full potential of your speaker setup is realized.
• High-End Home Audio Systems: Designed for audiophiles who want to extract the maximum performance from their audio system, the Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers provide a simple yet effective upgrade.
• Professional Studio Monitoring: Suitable for use in professional audio environments where maintaining signal integrity and accuracy is paramount.

How the Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers Enhance Your Listening Experience

By incorporating the Nordost Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers into your audio setup, you can expect:

• Greater Clarity and Detail: The advanced conductor design and low-loss insulation ensure that your speakers receive the cleanest possible signal, resulting in improved clarity, resolution, and detail.
• Balanced Frequency Response: The superior signal transfer provided by these jumpers ensures a more balanced and cohesive sound across the entire frequency spectrum, with enhanced bass response and treble accuracy.
• Improved Dynamics and Musicality: The high-quality construction and materials used in the Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers allow your audio system to deliver more dynamic and engaging sound, making your music more lifelike and immersive.

Comparing Reference Jumpers to Standard Jumpers

The Nordost Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers offer several advantages over the basic jumpers typically included with speakers:

• Better Conductivity: Standard jumpers often use brass or other inferior metals, which can introduce resistance and signal loss. The silver-plated conductors in the Reference Jumpers provide significantly better conductivity and signal transfer.
• Advanced Design: The mechanically tuned construction and use of FEP insulation result in reduced signal degradation and a more accurate sound compared to conventional jumpers.
• High-Quality Termination: The low-mass spade and banana connectors ensure a secure, low-resistance connection that maintains signal integrity, unlike the loose-fitting or poorly constructed connectors found on standard jumpers.

The Nordost Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers offer an effective and high-quality solution for anyone looking to improve the performance of their bi-wireable loudspeakers. By incorporating the same advanced technologies and materials found in Nordost’s premium speaker cables, these jumpers ensure that your speakers receive a pure, accurate, and uncolored signal, resulting in a noticeable enhancement in clarity, detail, and overall sound quality.

For audiophiles who want to ensure that every element of their audio system is performing at its best, the Nordost Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers are an essential upgrade. They provide a simple yet highly effective way to optimize the connection between your speaker terminals, delivering an improved listening experience that lets you hear your music with greater depth, precision, and realism.

The Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers offer a significant performance upgrade over the cheap metal strips found with most loudspeakers. While the Norse 2 Jumpers offer major improvements to the musical performance, the Reference Jumpers are even better. Based on Dual Mono-Filament construction and TSC technology (also found in the Odin Series), the sonic benefits are massive. These tuned pairs of straight-line jumpers maintain perfect signal integrity between the loudspeaker binding posts. Using high quality, low mass connectors, the standard termination is spade to 4 mm Nordost Z plugs. Replacing the standard bridging plates with Reference Series Jumpers creates an astonishing difference. Use them with Nordost’s Dual Mono-Filament speaker cables and the difference is even more apparent.

• Set of 4 Jumpers
• Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) insulation
• Dual Mono-Filament technology
• TSC shielded conductor
• Standard configuration is spade (6.5mm) to banana
• Banana to banana and spade to spade is available
• Dramatically improves speaker performance when replacing the
metal strips provided by most speaker companies.
