Chord Company GroundARAY

The GroundARAY works by providing a low-impedance path for high-frequency electrical noise that otherwise interferes with your signal. By converting this unwanted noise into heat, it lowers the noise floor of your equipment, which typically results in greater clarity, better detail, and a more natural soundstage.

You can connect the GroundARAY to any unused input or output socket on your audio or video components. It is most effective when placed on the source or pre-amplifier, but you can experiment with different ports to see where it provides the most audible benefit.

Yes, using multiple GroundARAY units can provide a cumulative improvement. Many users start with one on their primary source and add more to other components like DACs, streamers, or amplifiers to further reduce system-wide noise.

No, the GroundARAY is a passive device that does not require an external power supply. It functions independently of your existing cables, simply plugging directly into an available port on your equipment.

You should choose the termination type that matches the unused ports available on your specific components. The GroundARAY is available in a variety of common standards, including RCA, XLR, USB, BNC, DIN, RJ45, and HDMI, ensuring compatibility with most high-end audio and video gear.

Yes, it is designed to work effectively with both digital and analog equipment. Whether you are using it on a digital streamer or an analog pre-amplifier, it targets the same high-frequency noise that can degrade performance across all types of audio systems.
