The Nordost Odin Gold Loudspeaker Cable achieves the impossible, improving upon the seamless design of the already world-renowned Odin 2 Loudspeaker Cable. For years, Nordost has gone through great lengths to better integrate connectors with our flat speaker cable design—going so far as to create our own, specialized HOLO:PLUG® Spade and Banana terminations for our Odin 2 and Valhalla 2 lines.
Now, with the Odin Gold Loudspeaker, Nordost has developed an innovative termination process that eases the transition from cable to connector over several stages. This process minimizes the conversion points of conductors, eliminating overcrowding and creating orderly and precise connection points with the connectors. By decreasing the impedance introduced in standard termination practices, this innovative technique allows perfect mass-matching to occur between the conductor and connector. The methodical and natural transition contributes to the smooth auditory experience only available with Nordost’s Odin Gold cables.
