Nordost Heimdall 2 Analog Interconnect

Reference Analogue Performance in the Norse 2 Series | Available at Trimira Audio

The Nordost Heimdall 2 Analog Interconnect is a high-performance analogue cable within Nordost's acclaimed Norse 2 Series, designed for demanding source-to-amplifier signal paths where transparency, low noise, and controlled electrical characteristics are priorities.

Combining Nordost's Micro Mono-Filament technology, silver-plated solid-core OFC conductors, mechanically controlled geometry, and extensive shielding, Heimdall 2 is engineered to provide a carefully controlled signal path between source components, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and power amplifiers.

At Trimira Audio, we recommend the Heimdall 2 Analog Interconnect for high-resolution stereo systems where the cable should preserve the character and dynamics of the connected electronics rather than impose a strong tonal signature.

Key Features & Technological Innovations

Proprietary Micro Mono-Filament Construction

Each solid-core conductor is spiral-wrapped with an FEP filament before being enclosed within an extruded FEP outer jacket.

This creates a low-contact dielectric environment designed to reduce dielectric interaction and energy storage while supporting rapid signal transmission.

Four 24 AWG Silver-Plated Solid-Core Conductors

The Heimdall 2 uses 4 × 24 AWG solid-core conductors manufactured from 99.99999% high-purity OFC copper with pure silver plating.

Solid-core construction provides consistent conductor geometry while avoiding the strand interaction associated with conventional multi-stranded cables.

Mechanically Tuned Spacing & Lay

The conductors are precisely arranged using controlled spacing and mechanical geometry designed to manage:

• Electrical interaction
• Mechanical resonance
• Microphonic behavior
• Channel-to-channel interference

97% Dual-Layer Shielding

A combined foil-and-braid structure provides approximately 97% shielding coverage, helping protect low-level analogue signals from:

• RF interference
• Electromagnetic interference
• External electrical noise
• Environmental crosstalk

Precision Hand Terminations

Heimdall 2 can be terminated with low-mass:

• Gold-plated MoonGlo® RCA connectors
• Neutrik 3-pin XLR connectors

The XLR version is suitable for systems with genuinely balanced analogue signal paths.

Technical Specifications

RCA vs XLR Configuration

RCA

The single-ended RCA configuration is suitable for conventional analogue connections between:

• DACs
• CD players
• Streamers
• Preamplifiers
• Integrated amplifiers
• Power amplifiers

XLR

The balanced XLR version is appropriate when both connected components provide a genuine balanced analogue signal path.

Trimira Audio can help determine which configuration is appropriate for your particular system.
