Key Features

• Dual Mono-Filament Technology: The Valhalla 2 Analog Interconnects utilize Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology, which suspends the conductors in a virtual air dielectric. This design minimizes insulation contact, reducing capacitance and signal loss, resulting in faster signal transmission and enhanced sonic accuracy.
• High-Purity Silver-Plated Conductors: Each cable is constructed with seven solid-core, silver-plated 99.999999% Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors. These high-purity conductors provide exceptional conductivity, ensuring that your audio signal is transferred with incredible detail and precision.
• Low Capacitance and Inductance: The advanced design of the Valhalla 2 Interconnects results in exceptionally low capacitance and inductance, allowing for an unimpeded and accurate signal transfer. This design feature ensures that every nuance of your music is preserved.
• HOLO® RCA/XLR Connectors: The Valhalla 2 Analog Interconnects are terminated with Nordost’s proprietary HOLO® connectors, which are designed to provide the most efficient and low-resistance connection possible. Available in both RCA and XLR configurations, these connectors ensure maximum signal integrity and reliable connections.
• Mechanically Tuned Construction: Nordost employs a mechanically tuned construction technique that minimizes internal resonance and microphonic effects. This process ensures that the interconnects deliver a clean, noise-free signal, allowing your system to perform at its best.

The Valhalla 2 Interconnect consists of 10 conductors made from solid, optimized diameter 99.999999% oxygen free copper, each plated with 85 microns of silver. Its surface is highly polished and treated before a precision Dual Mono-Filament wrap is applied. A precision FEP tube is then extruded over each conductor. The ten FEP tubes are then bonded with a proprietary technique to create a tubular interconnect cable, enclosed in two layers of silver shielding. The V2 interconnect is offered with either RCA or XLR HOLO:PLUG® connectors.

V2 is extremely fast, at over 87% the speed of light. It transmits wide bandwidth signals with incredible speed and minimum phase shift. The V2 cable is state of the art, bettered only by the mighty Odin. It delivers incredible transient response and dynamic resolution so that no musical detail is lost. Each Valhalla 2 interconnect cable is hand built with HOLO:PLUG® RCA phono plugs or HOLO:PLUG® XLR connectors.
