Chord GroundARAY now on demo at Fanthorpes HiFi
Retailing for £549 each, the Chord GroundARAY is a high-frequency noise-reduction device that connects to unused sockets on A/V equipment providing a low-impedance route for HF noise to pass through, improving the noise floor of the ‘host’ product.
CHORD GROUNDARAY GROUNDING DEVICES
The GroundARAY is a cylindrical design made from precision CNC-machined thick-walled aluminium; the thick walls are designed to themselves stop the device from contributing HF noise. Available in six termination options, including USB A, RCA and XLR, for a wide range of digital and analogue A/V devices, Chord tells us that the GroundARAY benefits from five separate noise-reduction systems, all working across different HF noise ranges and operating in parallel to convert undesirable HF electrical noise into heat.
CONSTRUCTION
Each GroundARAY is built by hand at Chord Company’s Wiltshire factory, including the system components themselves. The GroundARAY comprises a number of absorption devices, attached with a double ultra-high-bandwidth connector system. Each GroundARAY cylinder is filled with a carefully chosen material to deaden noise. The final assembly is then locked into place to reduce any effects from acoustic vibration.
Chord says that the GroundARAYs are most effective when used across several devices in an A/V system. The devices simply plug into existing empty sockets and can be used individually, or in multiples, such as across left and right outputs etc. With DACs and streamers, GroundARAYs can be used with unused digital inputs; Chord also say that projectors and screens can also benefit from the noise-reduction effects, too.
