Nordost Supreme Reference Odin Gold 110-Ohm Digital Interconnect

The Pinnacle of 110-Ohm AES/EBU Balanced Precision | Available at Trimira Audio

The Nordost Supreme Reference Odin Gold 110-Ohm Digital Interconnect represents the flagship expression of Nordost's balanced digital-cable engineering, designed specifically for 110-ohm AES/EBU digital interfaces.

Combining Dual Mono-Filament technology, Total Signal Control (TSC) shielding, gold-plated solid-core OFC conductors, twin-axial geometry, and custom gold HOLO:PLUG® 3-pin XLR terminations, Odin Gold is engineered around the electrical requirements of balanced 110-ohm digital transmission.

At Trimira Audio, we recommend the Odin Gold 110-Ohm Digital Interconnect for flagship digital front ends incorporating compatible CD transports, DACs, digital processors, professional digital interfaces, and other AES/EBU-equipped components.

Key Features & Technological Innovations

Pure Gold-Plated Solid-Core OFC Conductors

The Odin Gold AES/EBU version uses 2 × 18 AWG solid-core conductors manufactured from 99.999999% high-purity OFC copper with pure gold plating.

The solid-core architecture provides consistent conductor geometry throughout the balanced digital path, while gold plating provides excellent resistance to oxidation.

Patented Dual Mono-Filament Technology

Each conductor is wrapped with two helical FEP strands before being enclosed in an extruded FEP outer jacket.

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

Total Signal Control (TSC) Shielding

A 100% total-coverage braid/foil TSC shielding structure surrounds the signal path, helping protect the digital transmission from:

• RF interference
• Electromagnetic interference
• External electrical noise
• High-frequency crosstalk

True 110-Ohm Balanced Architecture

The cable is specifically engineered around a true 110-ohm characteristic impedance, matching the AES/EBU digital transmission standard.

Maintaining the appropriate impedance helps minimize electrical reflections along the high-frequency digital transmission path.

Custom Gold HOLO:PLUG® XLR Terminations

The cable is hand-terminated with custom gold-plated HOLO:PLUG® 110-ohm 3-pin XLR connectors, designed specifically for balanced AES/EBU connections.

Technical Specifications

110 Ω AES/EBU vs 75 Ω Coaxial

The Odin Gold 110-Ohm Digital Interconnect is specifically designed for balanced AES/EBU interfaces using XLR connectors.

For 75-ohm coaxial S/PDIF connections, the appropriate choice is the dedicated Odin Gold 75-Ohm Digital Interconnect.

The impedance specification should always match the digital interface of the connected equipment.
