Chord Company has introduced its first DIN-terminated analogue interconnect for its middle-sitting Epic range.

The new Epic DIN promises a key performance upgrade over the Shawline range DIN it sits above (from £225) but greater affordability over the higher-end Signature Tuned ARAY Analogue DIN it sits beneath (which starts at £800).

Chord Company engineers have developed a new construction which is completely different to other analogue interconnects in the Epic range yet still benefits from the company’s Tuned ARAY conduction geometry.

Epic DIN takes advantage of wide-bandwidth silver-plated oxygen-free copper conductors (the kind normally found in the company’s higher-end cable ranges) as well as multi-tiered foil shielding systems for all conductor pairs. This technique promises reduced interaction between the different signals that DIN cables need to carry. Chord Company has utilised composite-layered PE insulation for the conductors and foiled high-frequency shielding for both signal and ground in the name of improved performance.

The new Epic DIN is available now, priced from £500 (1m).
