“FLAT IS BEAUTIFUL—IT ALSO SOUNDS BETTER”

Why All Nordost Speaker Cables Are Flat

Nordost’s design mandate is to minimize electrical interactions within the cable, but this goal is difficult to achieve; for example, inductance and capacitance are opposing electrical forces, with the result that reducing one tends to increase the other. The only way to win this “Juggling Act” is with a series of parallel, conductors, the distinctive array that makes Nordost speaker cables both unique and instantly recognizable.

But Nordost’s flat cables aren’t just beautiful to behold. The proprietary extrusion process that allows the extremely precisely spaced production of parallel conductor groups also employs FEP as an insulator, an incredibly tough, fire-resistant, low-loss insulator that makes the cables ideal for tucking under carpets, even in high traffic areas.

Nordost’s flat, multiple solid-core conductor cables are the only configuration that can achieve the perfect balance of electrical properties! That they offer such practical and aesthetic advantages too is just an added bonus.
