Nordost Norse 2 Series Tyr 2 Analog Interconnects

Flagship Analogue Signal Transfer in the Norse 2 Series | Available at Trimira Audio The Nordost Tyr 2 Analog Interconnect is the flagship analogue interconnect within Nordost's Norse 2 Series, designed for demanding high-resolution audio systems where transparency, low-level resolution, shielding, and controlled conductor geometry are paramount. Combining Dual Mono-Filament technology, seven silver-plated solid-core OFC conductors, mechanically tuned construction, FEP insulation, and high-coverage shielding, Tyr 2 provides a carefully engineered signal path between source components, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and power amplifiers. At Trimira Audio, we recommend the Tyr 2 Analog Interconnect for reference-oriented systems seeking the highest-performance analogue interconnect within the Norse 2 range. Key Features & Technological Innovations Proprietary Dual Mono-Filament Construction Each conductor is wrapped with two helical FEP strands before being enclosed within an extruded FEP outer jacket. This creates a low-contact dielectric environment designed to minimize dielectric interaction and energy storage while supporting rapid signal propagation. Seven 24 AWG Silver-Plated Solid-Core OFC Conductors Tyr 2 employs 7 × 24 AWG solid-core conductors manufactured from 99.99999% high-purity OFC copper with pure silver plating. The solid-core architecture provides consistent conductor geometry without the strand interaction associated with conventional stranded cables. Mechanically Tuned Lay & Spacing The conductors are arranged using controlled geometry designed to manage: Electrical interaction Electromagnetic coupling Mechanical resonance Microphonic behavior Channel-to-channel interaction 97% Coverage Braided Shielding A high-coverage braided shield provides approximately 97% coverage, helping protect the analogue signal from: RF interference Electromagnetic interference External electrical noise Environmental crosstalk Precision Hand Terminations Tyr 2 is available with: Gold-plated MoonGlo® RCA connectors Neutrik 3-pin XLR connectors The XLR configuration is suited to compatible balanced analogue systems.
