Product Description
Atlas Hyper dd is a balanced connector with optimum audio performance via ‘trickle-down’ dd technology. Constructed with four central multi-core conductors of high purity OCC copper encapsulated within a low-loss foamed Polyethylene dielectric, it features excellent immunity to interference and noise, making it ideally suited to longer cable runs.
Dual Drain System
Normally screened cables suffer from screen distortion when they are prepared for production. (If you've ever wired a plug or connector which uses a screened cable, you've done this yourself, cutting back and probably twisting the screening braid for termination). This distortion of the screen has a measurable impact, effectively changing the impedance and therefore the performance of the cable.
The 'dd’ configuration is based on a simplified version of the techniques we developed for our top-of-the-range Mavros and Asimi interconnects. Twin symmetrical drain wires (each attached to 180° segments of the plug) are inserted between a 100% copper/Mylar foil and screen. The unique dd system connects the screen effectively to the cable return/plug interface, meaning the cable can be terminated without distorting, twisting or mechanically stressing the precision-laid screen.
Improved Performance
The benefits are in maintaining a consistent low impedance load to the plug, and a total 360° screening against noise and signal loss caused by RFI. Atlas uses cold-weld terminations wherever possible, including our current generation ‘dark Chrome’ XLR connectors.
By reducing the number of materials and break points in the signal path, their objective is to minimise discontinuity and loss in the signal path, resulting in more consistent construction and improved audio performance.
Configuration
If you require a different configuration, please contact us. Always check with your equipment manufacturer’s instructions before ordering. The cable is terminated with low-mass solder-free XLR plugs.
