Key Features

• Silver-Plated, Solid-Core Conductors: The cable is constructed with solid-core, silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, which offer excellent conductivity and efficient signal transfer. This ensures that your subwoofer receives a clear, accurate, and detailed bass signal, resulting in more defined and impactful low-frequency reproduction.
• Low-Loss FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) Insulation: Nordost uses extruded FEP insulation in the Blue Heaven Subwoofer Cable, which provides superior electrical properties and minimizes signal loss. This low-loss insulation helps maintain signal purity, ensuring that your subwoofer reproduces bass frequencies with precision and clarity.
• Mechanically Tuned Lengths: Each Blue Heaven Subwoofer Cable is cut to mechanically tuned lengths, a unique process that reduces internal microphonics and high-frequency impedance resonance. This ensures optimal signal transfer and enhances the overall performance and responsiveness of your subwoofer.
• Dual-Layer Shielding: The cable features dual-layer shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding ensures that the signal remains free from external noise, allowing your subwoofer to deliver clean, uncolored bass.
• Y to Y Configuration Design: The Stereo Y to Y Configuration features two connectors on both ends of the cable, making it easy to connect stereo outputs (left and right channels) from your amplifier, receiver, or preamplifier to your subwoofer’s stereo inputs. This design offers greater flexibility and compatibility, ensuring a secure and efficient connection.
