Nordost Speaker Cables for Custom Installation
One component often overlooked when running long lengths of cables for home cinema or integrated audio systems is the speaker cables. Nordost comes to the party with their Leifstyle range.
The Leifstyle range includes three convenient products to ease installation.
2 Flat Cable has extreme durability and thin construction (thinner than a credit card!) making it the perfect choice for under-carpet installation. It can be also pushed under baseboards, cut into walls and then seamlessly plastered over, or even buried underground without incurring any sound degradation. It's perfct for for Hi-Fi ad home theatre applications.
4 Flat Cable, as the name suggests, comes with four 18AWG OFC conductors, making it perfect for professionals setting up multiple speakers. The superior geometry and materials used in 4 Flat not only account for the low inductance and capacitance within this cable, but allow for seamless and easy under-carpet installation.
Finally, the 14-2 Speaker Cable consists of two-14AWG OFC stranded conductors and has been specifically designed for in-wall installation. They have a UL rating up to 300 volts, allowing the user to connect to speakers through the wall without compromising the quality of sound. Their durability and flexibility make it the perfect solution for snaking your speaker cables through walls, giving your listening room a sleek look without compromising the sound.
All three products are available now, in 25m, 50m, and 100m bulk spools. 2 Flat Cable starts at $600 RRP, 4 Flat Cable starts at $1,200 RRP and 14-2 Speaker Cable starts at $490 RRP. Spade and Banana Kits are sold separately.
When you're building a high-quality integrated stereo or home cinema, don't skimp on cheap, bulky cables. Nordost are renowned for their high quality and excellent sound quality.
Nordost are distributed in Australia by Advance Audio.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
