CHORD SHAWLINEX 2RCA - 2XLR

Chord ShawlineX 2RCA to 2XLR – High-Performance Balanced Hi-Fi Analogue Cable

The Chord ShawlineX 2RCA to 2XLR is a high-end analogue interconnect developed by The Chord Company for connecting components with unbalanced RCA outputs to equipment featuring balanced XLR inputs. Designed for modern hi-fi and high-end systems, this interconnect delivers exceptionally precise, natural and coherent signal transmission, improving dynamics, detail retrieval and musical focus.

Based on Chord’s sophisticated proprietary Tuned ARAY conductor geometry, the ShawlineX uses high-purity silver-plated OFC multi-strand conductors combined with next-generation XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation technology, developed to improve dielectric stability, reduce noise and enhance timing precision and musical coherence.

The high-density composite shielding structure combining braid and foil shielding operates over a wide bandwidth to combat RF and EMI interference generated by routers, streamers, switching power supplies and electronic devices commonly found in modern listening environments. The result is a more stable and three-dimensional soundstage, tighter bass response and a more natural and refined midrange presentation.

Chord VEE 3 RCA connectors and ChorAlloy™ plated XLR terminals ensure excellent conductivity, minimal signal loss and superior mechanical stability. The hand-built construction and careful management of mechanical vibration further preserve analogue signal integrity and musical realism even in highly resolving systems.

Handmade entirely in the United Kingdom, the Chord ShawlineX 2RCA to 2XLR provides a substantial upgrade for DACs, streamers, preamplifiers, CD players and mid-to-high-end hi-fi electronics, delivering greater transparency, microdynamic detail and musical realism.
