Nordost Blue Heaven 3 Speaker Cable

Nordost Blue Heaven 3: flat speaker cable with 18 conductors

Flat speaker cables have been the hallmark of Nordost for about thirty years: when they reached the hi-fi market, both the shape and the production method were entirely new. Blue Heaven 3 is the latest evolution of one of the brand's historic models and sits in the middle of the Leif series.

The construction relies on 18 solid-core OFC conductors plated in silver, of 24 AWG, insulated in FEP through an extrusion process that improves their dielectric properties; termination is carried out with a dedicated method. In the system it links amplifier and speakers and, according to the manufacturer, combines natural dynamics with clarity.
