Impeccable Design and Construction
The Chatham CH-1 is wound on a 50m spool, making it a breeze for custom installers and advanced DIYers to measure exact lengths. It features ultra-high conductivity oxygen-free copper conductors with a tight geometry that minimises both inductance and capacitance—two critical factors for preserving transient detail and phase coherence over long runs. A durable, low-dielectric polyethylene insulation adds mechanical robustness while keeping capacitance in check, ensuring your amplifier sees a stable load.
Performance Highlights
-
Detailed Dynamics: The CH-1’s low resistance path emphasises micro-detail, so you’ll hear nuances in percussion and lead vocals with striking clarity.
-
Tight, Controlled Bass: Thanks to precision geometry, bass remains punchy and articulate without overhang or bloom—perfect for both two-channel and home theatre subwoofers.
-
Smooth Top End: The cable’s dielectric properties and conductor purity deliver extended highs without harshness or glare, ideal for revealing high-resolution recordings.
Who Should Choose the Chatham CH-1?
If you’re a custom installer outfitting multiple zones or an audiophile building a reference stereo system, the CH-1 offers the flexibility and performance headroom you need. Home theatre enthusiasts will appreciate its ability to maintain clarity at high SPLs, while two-channel purists will relish the lifelike soundstage and tonal neutrality. The spool format means no wasted lengths—just precise cuts, clean terminations and reliable performance.
