The conductors are manufactured from high-quality, oxygen-free copper and insulated with an FEP dielectric. The cable is shielded by dual-layer heavy gauge foil. Mechanical damping is provided by the use of a specially selected PVC sheath.
The Clearway is fitted with Chord VEE 3 (Vibration Eliminating Enclosure) RCA phono plugs, which include PTFE insulation between signal and return contacts. The VEE 3 is a low-mass RCA plug made from precision-machined, medical-grade acrylic, the design influenced by Chord’s flagship cables. The contact areas are direct silver plated to improve signal transfer and the internal design is intended to provide a superior contact for the critical earth path.
The directionality of the cable is indicated with an arrow printed on the heatshrink sleeving. The cable can also be supplied fitted with a stereo mini-jack plug for use in portable systems. Standard lengths are 1m and 0.5m, but this can be customised as they are built in-house.
