As part of Nordost’s Leif series, the Blue Heaven Subwoofer Cable incorporates advanced materials, innovative construction techniques, and Nordost’s proprietary technology to provide a clean, uncolored, and dynamic signal transfer between your amplifier or AV receiver and subwoofer. The “Y Configuration” offers enhanced versatility and compatibility, making it an ideal choice for integrating a subwoofer into both home theater and high-fidelity audio setups.

Overview

Subwoofers are essential for delivering the deep, powerful bass that adds impact and realism to your audio system. The Blue Heaven Subwoofer Cable Y Configuration is engineered to maintain signal integrity and reduce noise, interference, and distortion, ensuring that your subwoofer reproduces low-frequency sounds with accuracy and detail. This cable provides a significant upgrade over standard subwoofer cables, offering improved responsiveness, tighter bass, and enhanced overall performance.

Key Features

• Silver-Plated, Solid-Core Conductors: The Blue Heaven Subwoofer Cable utilizes solid-core, silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, ensuring superior conductivity and efficient signal transfer. This design minimizes signal loss and provides a clearer, more detailed bass response, allowing your subwoofer to reproduce low frequencies with precision and depth.
• Low-Loss FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) Insulation: Nordost employs extruded FEP insulation, which has excellent dielectric properties and minimizes signal loss. This insulation ensures that the low-frequency signals are transmitted accurately, resulting in cleaner, tighter, and more controlled bass.
• Mechanically Tuned Lengths: Each Blue Heaven Subwoofer Cable is cut to mechanically tuned lengths, a process unique to Nordost that reduces internal microphonics and high-frequency impedance resonance. This ensures optimal signal transfer, enhancing the overall performance of your subwoofer.
• Dual-Layer Shielding: The cable is equipped with dual-layer shielding, providing protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding prevents external noise from affecting the signal, ensuring that your subwoofer receives a clean, unaltered signal for accurate bass reproduction.
• Y Configuration Design: The Y Configuration design features a single RCA or XLR connector on one end and dual RCA connectors on the other, making it easy to connect your amplifier or AV receiver to subwoofers with multiple input options. This setup is ideal for systems that require a split connection, providing greater flexibility and compatibility with a wide range of subwoofer configurations.
