Four decades of building cable in Wiltshire

Chord Company started in 1985 and are still independently owned, still in Wiltshire, and still terminating cables by hand on site. In an industry where most manufacturing has moved offshore, that is worth stating plainly, because termination quality is one of the few cable variables that is easy to get wrong and impossible to see from the outside.

What sets them apart is a real research budget for a company their size. Taylon is a dielectric material Chord adopted because of how it behaves at the temperatures a cable actually runs at, where more common insulation materials go through a phase change. ARAY is a conductor geometry developed in-house and applied differently depending on the cable type. GroundARAY came out of the same work and does something different again, giving high-frequency noise on a component's chassis somewhere to go.

The other thing customers notice is that Chord are unusually clear about where each range sits and what it is for. There is no attempt to persuade you that the top range is the right answer for a starter system.

Chord cables are designed and built in the UK with a clear focus on musical transparency, timing and system synergy. Unlike many mass-produced options, Chord tests designs by ear and optimises them through real-world listening. Their use of proprietary technologies like ARAY, Tuned ARAY and Super ARAY conductors helps preserve signal integrity, resulting in clearer detail and more engaging playback.

Most systems benefit first from upgraded interconnects or speaker cables. Chord’s hierarchy is designed to deliver gains at every level, so a Clearway Analogue or Epic X speaker cable is a great starting point. Once the main signal path is optimised, adding a Chord power cable or digital interconnect (like Shawline Digital or Epic USB) helps complete the upgrade chain.

Yes. Chord speaker cables are directional, typically marked with a printed logo or arrow. For best performance, the printed side should face the source (e.g. amplifier), so the logo is closest to the amp. Users and official Chord guides report this subtly improves timing and coherence.

Absolutely. Chord’s digital and streaming cables are built with the same performance goals as their analogue range. Options like the C-stream, Shawline Streaming or Epic USB are designed to minimise noise and jitter, allowing your streamer or DAC to operate more efficiently and reveal more of the music. Customers often report tighter bass, clearer imaging and improved timing.

All Chord Electronics products are designed, engineered, and hand-built in Kent, UK. They use high-grade components, custom circuit boards, and CNC-machined aluminium casings to ensure maximum performance, durability, and distinctive styling.

Chord Company speaker cables are well regarded for their build quality and consistent performance. They are commonly chosen as upgrades from basic cable in both hi-fi and home cinema systems.

The right cable depends on your system level and cable length. Entry ranges suit modest systems, while higher models offer greater scale and control for more revealing setups. Call (0208 905 1555) or Email (sales@futureshop.co.uk) one of our consultants to find the most suitable Chord speaker cable for you.

Epic uses larger gauge silver-plated conductors and more advanced shielding than Clearway, which can help deliver greater authority and refinement in higher-end systems.

Compared with low-quality speaker wire, Chord Company cables can improve clarity, focus, and overall balance, especially in systems capable of resolving fine detail.

Yes. Most Chord Company speaker cables are directional and should be installed following the text and/or arrows printed on the cable jacket from your amp to your speakers.
