“In short, this is a good value and great-sounding cable”

“…performances are lively and energetic without ever feeling strained. The result is an interconnect with an involving character that is hard to beat at the price.”

We are extremely pleased and proud to announce that Stuart Hawkes, Mastering Engineer at Metropolis Studios in London, is now using Chord Signature Tuned ARAY cables in his mastering suite

In search of ways to further improve his mastering suite and give Metropolis the cutting edge in performance, Stuart decided to explore the main signal chain within his system. After auditioning several cables, Stuart settled on Signature Tuned ARAY. These cables are used at specific points within the mastering chain to help produce the level of audio detail he requires.

Stuart has been mastering albums for over 25 years and is in high demand from many music producers, recording artists and record labels from around the world. Stuart has mastered albums by The Prodigy, Ed Sheeran, ADF, Lianne La Havas, Ghostpoet and Amy Winehouse. Two of Stuart’s clients have recently picked up MOBO awards.

The world-famous Metropolis, in Chiswick, West London, has seen many legendary artists record and mix albums in the iconic Power House studios, including Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, The Stone Roses, The Clash and The Smiths.

The Signature Tuned ARAY XLR uses the same unique conductor geometry developed during our research into Tuned ARAY technology, which was originally used on the Sarum Tuned ARAY cable range. Tuned ARAY interconnects are exceptionally transparent, especially in terms of detail, dynamics, timbre and pitch. What really sets Tuned ARAY apart though is its ability to carry a musical signal in an extremely coherent manner.

Metropolis also runs an iMastering service which is a convenient way to have your music mastered by your choice of world class engineers.

Jon Myles brings together a one-make cable system from Chord to show how just such a consistent approach can pay dividends

“The beauty here is that with the Chord loom in place you can happily look to upgrade your components over time with obvious benefit… On those terms, Chord’s Tuned Aray cable loom makes a very impressive long-term investment.”

Clearway Digital is an all-new Tuned ARAY digital audio cable at an affordable price point of just £100. Available in a wide range of terminations, including a 3.5mm mono jack for today’s high-performance portable devices, Clearway Digital was conceived to deliver no-compromise digital audio, to and from a wide range of audio products.
Standard terminations include our high-performance direct silver-plated VEE 3 RCA plugs as well as silver-plated BNC plugs. We have recognised the increasing importance of high-performance portable DACs and are offering Clearway Digital terminated with a 3.5mm mono jack. This configuration allows owners of DACs or devices equipped with a 3.5mm coaxial socket to experience the levels of clarity, detail and musical coherence inherent in digital Tuned ARAY cables.

Clearway Digital takes design cues from our extraordinarily revealing flagship Sarum Super ARAY Digital – to produce a £100 interconnect with an exceptionally transparent and coherent performance.

Clearway Digital uses an oxygen-free copper conductor combined with gas-foamed polyethylene insulation and woven copper shield. Clearway Digital refines 30 years of Chord Company know-how into a highly affordable interconnect for the digital age. It replaces the popular Prodac VEE3 digital cable.
