phase 3

The original Chord Anthem was one of the first available interconnects to use a high frequency shield. It was also the first Chord interconnect to be fitted with the ultra low mass RCA/phono plug still used on the Anthem, Signature and Indigo interconnects. The silver-plated combined shielding system fitted to the Anthem 2 protects a Teflon insulated multi strand silver-plated signal conductor. This configuration extends the bandwidth that the Anthem 2 will carry, and whilst the benefits of this are clearly audible throughout the frequency range, anyone fitting the Anthem 2 to a system with speakers capable of serious bass extension will be able to feel as well as hear the benefits!
The ultra low mass RCA/phono plugs reduce potentially signal degrading resonances and the structure of the Teflon insulation and outer jacket deals effectively with problems caused by mechanically induced noise . The Anthem 2 will allow seriously low levels of musical detail to be heard, the leading and trailing edges of piano notes are a perfect example. The combination of an extremely low noise floor and accurate transmission of micro dynamic information means that the musician's technique is clearly revealed. This adds immeasurably to the feeling and enjoyment of any type of music.
