Epic Speaker Cable

Epic is the result of combining elements of two of Chord's most popular speaker cables, Odyssey and Signature. By taking the shielding system used on the Signature and adapting it to suit Odyssey, the Chord Company has been able to produce a speaker cable that combines the strengths of both cables.

Like Odyssey, Epic features two conductors each made up of 19 strands of silver-plated oxygen free copper conductors. Chord has always used multi strand conductors in their speaker cables but favors fewer, heavier gauge conductors over fine stranded rope weave designs. The overall diameter of each conductor is 2.5mm. The two conductors are twisted together, insulated by Teflon and then surrounded by a silicone jacket.

Epic has the addition of a dual shielding system applied to the outer silicone of Odyssey that is then surrounded with a special PVC jacket to further improve mechanical damping. The PVC jacket itself is extremely pliable and finished in a translucent grey with an overall diameter of 10.5mm and 15mm for the four conductor bi-wire version.

"The Chord listening team wish to emphasize we have experimented with Epic in a variety of systems and believe the construction of this cable, and in particular its shielding system, allows the Epic to produce a significant performance improvement when fitted to any well balanced system, almost regardless of system cost."

Like all Chord cables the Epic performs well above its price point and offers tremendous value.
