Chord ShawlineX ARAY Analogue XLR – Professional audio connectivity with precision

The Chord ShawlineX ARAY Analogue XLR cable is designed to deliver a precise and sophisticated audio experience. With advanced technology, hand-built precision and the highest quality components, this cable is designed to bring out even the finest details in your music performance. ShawlineX ARAY is part of the Chord Company's dedication to creating cables that deliver pure, undistorted sound.

Hand-built precision with ARAY geometry

One of the most striking features of the ShawlineX ARAY XLR cable is its ARAY geometry. This unique construction requires a precision that can only be achieved through meticulous hand assembly. This geometry ensures optimal signal transfer and reduces noise interference, resulting in a cleaner and more dynamic sound reproduction. With three identical conductors for each connection, just like in Chord's Signature and Sarum series, a balanced and stable signal path is achieved, reducing distortion and loss of detail.

Top-class materials for optimal sound reproduction

ShawlineX ARAY XLR is constructed with silver-plated conductors insulated with XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene), providing excellent electrical properties and improved sound quality across a wide frequency range. The XLPE insulation helps minimize signal loss and preserves the clarity of the sound image. The cable is further protected by a composite shield that protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), so you can enjoy an undisturbed listening experience.

Advanced connectors with ChorAlloy™ coating

The cables' XLR connectors feature ChorAlloy™-coated contact pins, ensuring a superior connection and long-lasting durability. ChorAlloy™ is Chord Company's proprietary coating that offers improved resistance to corrosion and wear compared to traditional materials such as gold and silver. This ensures that the signal remains pure and undistorted, even after years of use.

Flexible lengths and adjustments

Chord ShawlineX ARAY XLR is available in standard lengths of 0.5 and 1 meter, but can also be customized with custom lengths and termination options as needed. Regardless of setup, this cable can be customized to ensure the best performance in any system. If your equipment supports both RCA and XLR connections, it is recommended to test both formats to find the optimal solution for your particular audio system.

Part of the refined Shawline series

The Shawline series from Chord Company is renowned for its balance of technological innovation and sonic sophistication. The series includes a wide range of both analogue and digital connections, including the latest XLPE insulated speaker cable, dedicated tonearm cables and updated power cables. The ARAY geometry is used throughout the series, ensuring you get the best out of your Chord audio experience.

With the Chord ShawlineX ARAY Analogue XLR, you get a cable that prioritizes sound quality and delivers exceptional performance.
