Key Features

• High-Purity Silver-Plated Conductors: The Frey 2 cable features high-purity, oxygen-free copper conductors that are silver-plated. This combination ensures optimal signal conductivity and minimal loss, resulting in improved signal transfer and enhanced detail in audio reproduction.
• Nordost’s Dual Mono-Filament Technology: This proprietary technology involves wrapping each conductor with a FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) thread, which is then encased in an extruded FEP insulation. This unique design minimizes dielectric contact, reducing capacitance and inductance, which leads to faster signal transmission, improved clarity, and reduced signal loss.
• Mechanically Tuned Lengths: Nordost uses specific cable lengths that are precisely cut to optimize the signal transfer. This technique minimizes internal microphonics and high-frequency impedance resonance, ensuring a more accurate and dynamic sound.
• Gold-Plated XLR and 4 Pin DIN Connectors: The cable is terminated with high-quality, gold-plated connectors that ensure a secure, corrosion-resistant connection. These connectors are designed to provide optimal signal transfer between components, ensuring the highest level of audio performance.
• High-Quality Construction: The Frey 2 cable is built with meticulous attention to detail, featuring durable materials and a flexible jacket that make it easy to integrate into any audio setup while maintaining its integrity and performance.
