DIGITAL
75 & 110 ohm cables
The VALHALLA digital interconnect represents another advance by
Nordost in producing a reference digital cable of stunning performance
and astonishing detail. This new cable utilizes a more advanced
'Dual Micro Mono-Filament technology' which improves upon the Mono-Filament
technology we have already developed.
Micro Mono-Filament Technology
VALHALLA Digital cable uses our proprietary 'Dual Micro Mono-Filament'
which greatly enhances audio / video performance. The surface of
each conductor is highly polished before a precision Dual Micro
Mono-Filament is wrapped around it. This technology uses two FEP
Mono-Filament threads wound around one another. These dual Mono-Filaments
are then drawn around the conductor in a very precise helix pattern,
this introduces more air space around the conductors and insulation
contact with the conductors is reduced by more than 85%. Each conductor
has 78 microns of extruded silver over solid 8N OFC cores which
has a FEP tube extruded over the Mono-Filament. In the 75 ohm version
one conductor is used and in the 110 ohm version two conductors
are bonded together. A double layer of served shielding is then
applied around the cables.
No Filtering
The cable has an effective dielectric constant of 1.38, which is
incredibly low, the reference point being air or a vacuum, which
has a dielectric constant of 1. The reduction of insulation contact
by more than 85% means that the current and digital signal travelling
above the surface of the conductor are virtually unimpeded by the
insulation material. This means that jitter and timing errors are
virtually eliminated. The result is a cable that allows every transient
detail of the musical signal to shine through without being filtered
or rolled off.
Very Wide Bandwidth
The VALHALLA interconnect has an extremely wide bandwidth which
extends way beyond the upper limit of the audible range at 20 KHz
into the Gigahertz range. When it comes to transmitting wide bandwidth
at incredible speed this cable is state of the art. This speed and
extremely wide bandwidth ensure that no errors are introduced into
the digital signal.
Very High Signal Speed
This interconnect has a very high signal speed of over 87% the speed
of light which reduces phase shifting and timing errors to very
low levels. The incredible transient response of VALHALLA means
that no musical detail is lost and that complex passages of music
and difficult recordings can be followed with ease.
Terminations
VALHALLA Digital interconnect cable are hand built in our factory
in the USA and are available with 75 ohm RCA or BNC connectors,
or gold plated 110 ohm XLR connectors. The connectors used are selected
for their sonic properties and their impedance matching characteristics
which have a minimal effect on the digital signal.
