Chord Company Launches New EpicX ARAY Cables

Next-gen EpicX ARAY elevates a classic 

Chord Company’s legendary Epic has been upgraded to the most epic Epic ever!

16 June 2023, Wiltshire, England: Chord Company has upgraded an already Epic interconnect with the very latest cable technologies from the factory. The new EpicX ARAY is a considered development of one of Chord Company’s most versatile interconnects.

The original Epic quickly became one of the company’s most popular analogue interconnects, with a price point that naturally complements an enormously wide range of high-performance hi-fi equipment (New EpicX ARAY £420 0.5m; £520 1 m).

The new EpicX ARAY represents the next generation and benefits from the latest Chord Company cable technologies, finessed over the AV specialist’s near-40-year history.

EpicX ARAY builds on the Shawline interconnect (one-range-down, £260) and benefits from heavier-gauge silver-plated conductors with upgraded geometry, plus increased shielding volume. EpicX ARAY also enjoys Chord Company’s performance-enhancing ARAY mechanical tuning technology, which optimises the potential of the heavy-gauge conductors.

EpicX ARAY’s ‘X’ suffix denotes the upgrade to XLPE (Cross-linked Polythene) insulation, an enhancement which has been rolling out across a number of Chord Company cables in recent times. XLPE perfectly complements the high-performance shielding architecture and proprietary ARAY conductor geometry technology fundamental to the EpicX ARAY.

Handmade to order in England, with connectors in VEE 3 RCA, DIN or XLR configurations, EpicX ARAY’s connector contact areas/pins benefit from Chord Company’s innovative ChorAlloy™ multi-metal plating system, which offers lower intermodulation, full solderability and a tarnish-free finish.

A directional design, indicated by arrows on the heat-shrink, EpicX ARAY comes with a generous lifetime warranty against defective materials and workmanship.

EpicX ARAY is available in 0.5 m and 1 m lengths, with custom lengths/terminations available to order.
