Rumour speaker cable - technical info |
|
| Chord Rumour was the first speaker cable that Chord produced. At the time
we were already producing interconnects using silver-plated conductors in
combination with Teflon insulation and were well aware of the potential
performance benefits of this combination. We experimented with several cable
geometries before settling on the twisted pair configuration that we have used
ever since. Following repeated listening tests, we felt this configuration
offered some genuine advantages over the more commonly used heavy gauge parallel
pair designs that were commonly used at the time. |

Each
conductor is made up of 19 strands of silver-plated oxygen free copper. These
are insulated by Teflon and surrounded with an outer jacket of silicone.
Silicone was chosen as an outer jacket partly for its flexibility and partly for
its excellent mechanical damping characteristics. |
| Rumour is a remarkably compatible speaker cable and can be used in a wide
range of applications from mini systems right up to full blown active set ups.
The size of the cable makes Rumour a very attractive proposition for anyone
looking to get really good sound quality from what is a near invisible (in hi-fi
terms) speaker cable. It is discreet enough in its installation version to tuck
between a carpet and skirting board. |
| The combination of silver-plated conductors and Teflon insulation make
Rumour a very clean and neutral sounding speaker cable. It is capable of
transmitting a wide bandwidth signal and many users are surprised at the
remarkably deep but well controlled bass that Rumour brings to their system.

| Rumour 2 is a twin
conductor cable with an overall diameter of 6mm. |
