Reference Terminal Precision for Bi-Wire Loudspeakers | Available at Trimira Audio
The Nordost Valhalla 2 Bi-Wire Jumpers are premium speaker-terminal jumpers designed to replace the basic metal plates or short wire links supplied with bi-wireable loudspeakers.
Using construction derived from the Valhalla 2 Speaker Cable, these jumpers combine Dual Mono-Filament technology, silver-plated solid-core OFC conductors, flat-ribbon geometry, mechanically controlled construction, and low-mass HOLO:PLUG® terminations.
They provide a purpose-built connection between the high-frequency and low-frequency binding posts when a loudspeaker is being driven from a single speaker-cable run.
At Trimira Audio, we recommend the Valhalla 2 Bi-Wire Jumpers for high-performance loudspeakers where maintaining consistency with a premium speaker-cable system is a priority.
Key Features & Technological Innovations
Dual Mono-Filament Construction
The conductors are 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.
Silver-Plated Solid-Core OFC Conductors
The jumpers use 99.999999% high-purity solid-core OFC copper with 85 µm pure silver plating.
The solid-core construction provides consistent conductor geometry without the strand interaction associated with conventional jumper wire.
Flat-Ribbon Extrusion Geometry
The jumper construction follows the parallel-conductor architecture associated with the Valhalla 2 speaker-cable design.
This maintains a consistent low-mass geometry over the short connection between the loudspeaker's binding posts.
Mechanically Tuned Length & Resonance Control
The jumpers are produced to a precise 7-inch (17.7 cm) length, with controlled construction designed to manage electrical and mechanical characteristics.
Custom Low-Mass HOLO:PLUG® Terminations
Valhalla 2 Bi-Wire Jumpers can be configured using proprietary HOLO:PLUG® speaker connectors, including:
- Spade-to-spade
- Banana-to-banana
- Spade-to-banana
- Banana-to-spade
This makes them adaptable to different binding-post configurations.

Why Use Valhalla 2 Bi-Wire Jumpers?
When a bi-wireable loudspeaker is operated with a single speaker-cable run, the jumper links complete the electrical connection between the amplifier cable and the speaker's high- and low-frequency terminals.
Using premium jumpers that share the construction philosophy of the main speaker cable provides a more consistent connection than generic stamped metal links or basic wire straps.
For systems using Valhalla 2 speaker cables, these jumpers provide an especially logical configuration because the jumper construction is designed around the same cable architecture.
