RETURN OF THE NORDOST SUPERFLATLINE SPEAKER CABLE
The SuperFlatline Speaker Cable is a Nordost classic. Not only was it one of the first products to put the American cable creators firmly on the map, it was and still is easily spotted.
As the name suggests, its trademark, flat design soon became known throughout the industry as an exceptionally well respected high-end speaker cable.
Many fans will speak highly of its detail, clarity, and purity of sound.
The great news for those that have had to resort to scouring the classified ads for old stock is that the Nordost SuperFlatline cable is back!
Nordost’s SuperFlatline Speaker Cable consists of sixteen, 23 AWG solid core, flat and rectangular copper conductors.
We’re told that the flat geometry of this cable increases the signal transfer speed. What we do know for sure is that the profile of this cable makes it possible to run lengths under carpets and rugs for easy and discreet installation.
Merideth Gabor, Marketing Executive for Nordost told StereoNET:
Designed and manufactured entirely in the USA, the SuperFlatline Speaker Cable guarantees the precision of craftsmanship required to produce the uncolored, unfiltered accuracy of sound that is synonymous with Nordost.
We're very pleased to be able to reintroduce this classic Nordost product.
Additionally, SuperFlatline employs an innovative precision FEP extrusion process, which Nordost says lowers the capacitance and increases the bandwidth of the cable dramatically, enhancing accuracy in signal transfer.
This high quality and versatile cable can be used in any system. When used in a shotgun configuration (a double run of cable terminated into one connection at the speaker and amp ends), the SuperFlatline is capable of carrying high currents (up to 12.5 amps at 300 volts) while its 16 conductors can easily facilitate bi-wiring or bi-amping.
Local pricing and availability have not yet been confirmed.

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.
