The SignatureX Tuned ARAY was designed to take the place of the critically acclaimed Signature Plus, and set an entirely new standard in cable design and innovation, utilising the true power and accuracy of the Tuned ARAY technology that Chord have become renowned for. 

The SignatureX Tuned ARAY is the first cable in the company's extensive interconnect range to offer a Tuned ARAY construction, which was originally designed for the company's flagship Sarum model. Improvements over the Signature Plus include a dramatic lift in detail and dynamics, despite already being exceptionally prominent in the first place. 

This cable is designed to truly retain the quality and dynamic energy of your favourite music, ensuring that the signal being passed between your hifi components is untampered with and true to the original signal; resulting in an astonishingly compelling listening experience. 

The subwoofer configuration of this interconnect follows the same design principles as the 2 RCA/XLR/DIN connections, allowing for a truly superior signal transfer in order to retain the integrity of the sound being fed from the source, and thus reproduced by your high quality subwoofer.

ChorAlloy™ plated contact areas

Conductivity is typically measured using DC. Chord Company has always been interested in how its cables perform at higher frequencies: as you move up through the ranges, the bandwidth of the cables increase, along with many other important mechanical characteristics.

At higher frequencies, the clear performance advantage of silver becomes less clear. The presence of the Ag2S can give rise to intermodulation effects at high frequencies. These effects, especially as they are associated outside the normal audible sine wave bandwidth, haven’t ever been considered by any audio connector manufacturers to date (that Chord Company is aware of).

Chord Company looked at different plating techniques over a prolonged period, to try to reduce this effect. Following very considerable listening results, ChorAlloy was born. This multi-metal plating system provides significant musical improvement over previous silver plating techniques and marks a major step forward in connector performance.

The technology offers much lower intermodulation than silver plating, is tarnish-free, RoHS compliant and solderable. But, most importantly, it is musically superior to previous silver-plated connectors.

The latest SignatureX RCA cable is fitted with PTFE plug surrounds. While not as strikingly beautiful as the previous marbled acrylic versions they produce a markedly better performance.
