Holliston, MA USA September 10th 2012. Nordost is pleased to announce

the introduction of their new Blue Heaven High Speed HDMI cable. This is the

first HDMI cable entirely designed, manufactured and hand-terminated in the

USA, and was built to overcome the quality control and performance

variability that is so apparent with mass-produced HDMI cables. Nordost’s

proven track record of developing and applying proprietary production

techniques and technology to create groundbreaking audio cables has

enabled them to set a completely new price/performance benchmark in the

HDMI field. The Blue Heaven HDMI meets the stringent DPL certification

standards out to a length of 5M, demonstrating its superior performance and

consistency.

Constructed using 19 Micro Mono-Filament, air-space, silver-plated oxygen

free copper, solid core conductors, the cable employs a twin-axial design to

ensure consistent performance and shielding, as well as materials and

technological continuity with the other cables in the Blue Heaven family. The

use of MMF construction and FEP insulation increases transmission speed,

reduces dielectric absorption and improves mechanical stability, resulting in

superior eye-pattern performance from a cable that finally brings the exacting

standards expected in two-channel systems to the realm of AV and picture

transmission. Despite the level of technology and materials employed and the

fact that each cable is hand-terminated, the Blue Heaven HDMI is priced at a

realistic $350 US for a 1M cable ($100 US for each extra meter).

Nordost will launch the Blue Heaven HDMI in active demonstrations at

TAVES (Toronto Audio Video Entertainment Show) in Toronto from the 28th to

30thof September and RMAF (Rocky Mountain Audio Fest) in Denver from the

12th to 14th of October 2012. We believe in giving you the chance to assess

our claims for yourself.
