Overview

Nordost Heimdall 2 Digital Interconnects – 75 Ohm & 110 Ohm | Norse 2 Series

The Nordost Heimdall 2 Digital Interconnects are high-performance digital audio cables engineered for precise impedance matching and ultra-fast, low-loss signal transmission. Available in both 75 Ohm S/PDIF and 110 Ohm AES/EBU configurations, Heimdall 2 provides the correct interface for a wide range of high-end digital sources, DACs, transports, streamers, and processors. (Nordost)

Both versions use silver-plated 99.99999% solid-core OFC conductors, precision FEP insulation, and Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology. Mechanically tuned construction and extensive shielding help maintain impedance accuracy and protect the digital signal throughout the cable. (Nordost)

Available in 75 Ohm & 110 Ohm

75 Ohm S/PDIF – BNC

Designed for components using 75 Ohm S/PDIF digital connections.

  • 1 × 20 AWG solid-core conductor

  • Silver-plated 99.99999% OFC

  • Dual Mono-Filament technology

  • Mechanically tuned spacing and length

  • Precision coaxial design

  • 15.0 pF/ft capacitance

  • 97% overall shield coverage

  • 88% velocity of propagation

  • True 75 Ohm impedance

  • Gold-plated true 75 Ohm Neutrik BNC

  • Gold-plated BNC-to-RCA adapter included (Nordost)

110 Ohm AES/EBU – XLR

Designed for professional and high-end audio components using balanced AES/EBU digital connections.

  • 2 × 20 AWG solid-core conductors

  • Silver-plated 99.99999% OFC

  • Dual Mono-Filament technology

  • Mechanically tuned spacing and length

Which Version Do You Need?

Choose the 75 Ohm S/PDIF version for digital coaxial connections using BNC or RCA. The included BNC-to-RCA adapter makes it compatible with many consumer HiFi components.

Choose the 110 Ohm AES/EBU version for components equipped with balanced XLR digital inputs and outputs. Nordost specifically impedance-matches the XLR termination to maintain a true 110 Ohm signal path. (Nordost)

Ideal Applications

The Heimdall 2 Digital Interconnect is an excellent choice for connecting CD/SACD transports, high-end DACs, network streamers, music servers, digital processors, and other reference digital audio components.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Do you price match?

Yes. We match any authorised dealer, including big-box retailers. If you find the same product at a lower price, contact us and we'll match it.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes — free shipping on every order, with 2-day delivery available on most products. Easy returns and exchanges are included.

Where is your showroom?

We're at 6362 Alder Drive, Houston, Texas. The showroom lets you hear and compare reference-level systems in person before making any decisions. If you're considering a larger purchase or installation, it's well worth the visit.

Can I buy online without visiting the showroom?

Yes. The full product range is available through the online store with free nationwide shipping. For more complex system builds, speaking with one of our advisers first tends to lead to a better result.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Special financing is available through the BrandSource Credit Card for qualifying purchases, allowing you to spread payments over time with no annual fee. Promotional rebate savings are also available periodically. See the financing page for full details.

Do you install systems as well as sell equipment?

Yes — installation is central to what we do. We design and install whole-home audio and video, home theaters, media rooms, outdoor audio, lighting and motorised shades, and full smart home automation.

Do you provide support after installation?

Yes. We provide ongoing service and support to ensure systems continue performing as intended — not just on installation day, but over the long term.
