Chord RumourX 16Guage Speakercable

Chord RumourX 16 Gauge Speaker Cable – Premium Audio Performance

The Chord RumourX is a high-performance 16 AWG speaker cable designed for audiophiles and professional sound installations. Awarded by What HiFi? in 2020, it delivers exceptional detail, dynamics, and coherence in a compact design.

Originally launched in 1996, the Chord Rumour was one of the smallest speaker cables available, impressing users with sound quality that far exceeded its size. Featuring silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors and advanced insulation materials, the RumourX offers improved noise floor performance thanks to its optimised twisted pair conductor configuration.

Previous versions used PTFE insulation, but the RumourX now employs XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation, which has proven superior in listening tests. This cable remains a popular choice for custom installers, audio manufacturers, and end-users seeking reliable, high-spec sound and vision installations.
