Overview

Valhalla 2 features ten solid-core conductors, crafted from 99.999999% oxygen-free copper and plated with a substantial 85 microns of silver. Each conductor is meticulously polished and treated before Nordost’s precision Dual Mono-Filament technology is applied. A precision-extruded FEP tube is then formed over every conductor, and the ten individual FEP-insulated conductors are bonded using a proprietary process to create a mechanically tuned, tubular interconnect. The finished cable is enclosed in dual layers of silver shielding and terminated with HOLO:PLUG XLR connectors.

With signal speed exceeding 87% the speed of light, Valhalla 2 delivers exceptional speed and bandwidth while maintaining minimal phase shift. It is only surpassed by Odin and Odin Gold in Nordost's complete range.

About Nordost

Nordost, an American high-end audio brand, traces its origins to 1991 when it was founded in Massachusetts, just outside Boston. From the outset, the company committed to designing, engineering, and manufacturing all products exclusively in the United States, drawing on aerospace-derived technologies like conductor solutions to pioneer its signature flat cable geometry. This Northeast-rooted heritage—reflected even in the brand's name, meaning "northeast" in Scandinavian languages—has defined Nordost as a beacon of innovation in signal preservation for over three decades.

The brand specializes in premium hi-fi cables and accessories, including speaker cables, interconnects, digital cables, power cords, and video transmission lines. Nordost employs advanced techniques such as Micro Mono-Filament construction and mechanically tuned lengths to minimize distortion and maximize fidelity. Beyond cables, its lineup extends to power distribution systems, grounding solutions, and resonance control devices, forming a comprehensive ecosystem that enhances the entire audio chain without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or turntables.

Renowned among audiophiles worldwide, Nordost occupies a premium niche in the high-end market, celebrated for revolutionary designs that deliver unadulterated sound. From accessible Leif series entry points to exotic Valhalla and Odin flagships, its products command respect in over 60 countries, positioning the brand as a go-to for discerning buyers seeking boundary-pushing performance and uncompromising quality.
