Flat, flexible and durable cables are essential for professionals in the entertainment industry and individuals for everyday use. And now thanks to its Lifestyle range, American cable maker Nordost offers custom flat speaker cables that meet all three of these requirements; 2 Flat Cable (for hi-fi and home theatre applications), 4 Flat Cable (for high performance amplifiers), and the 14-2 Speaker Cable (for in-wall installation).
Nordost is distributed by Advance Audio in Australia and by Orange Road Audio in NZ.
These cables boast low signal loss as a result of the geometric and mechanical characteristics of their solid core OFC conductors. Both of the individual cables are insulated with white FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene), ensuring they are durable for all types of settings.
Their thin construction and durability have low inductance and capacitance, allowing them to be installed in various locations, from under carpet through to in-wall and underground installation, making them perfect for all types of custom installations. They are available in 25m, 50m and 100m lengths.
The Nordost 2 Flat Cable has extreme durability and thin construction, which makes it a great choice for under-carpet installation. In fact, not only can 2 Flat be installed under-carpet, but it can be pushed under baseboards, cut into walls and then seamlessly spackled over and even buried underground without incurring any sound degradation.
Nordost’s 4 Flat Speaker Cable comes with double the 18AWG OFC conductor heads compared to the 2 Flat Speaker Cable, making it perfect for professionals setting up high performance amplifiers and speakers.
The 14-2 Speaker Cable consists of two-14AWG OFC stranded conductors and has been specifically designed for in-wall installation. They have a UL rating up to 300V.
All cables are available in bulk (25m, 50m and 100m). Spade and Banana Kits are sold separately.
