Product Description
Atlas Hyper DD Ultra RCA Interconnects has a solid OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) copper core surrounded by multiple bunch-stranded ‘satellite’ conductors of high purity OCC copper, The ‘speed’ characteristic of analogue cables is determined primarily by the dielectric performance of the insulator applied around the conductor.
Hyper’s conductors are encapsulated within a high-efficiency gas foamed Polyethylene dielectric, with excellent immunity to interference and noise. Termination is via our wide-band, low-mass solder-free Ultra connectors – the fewer discontinuities in the signal path, the lower the level of signal degradation and the better the performance.
Dual Drain system
Normally screened cables suffer from screen distortion when they are prepared for production. This distortion of the screen has a measurable impact, effectively changing the impedance and therefore the performance of the cable. This 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. 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 (Radio Frequency Interference).
Press Reviews
-
'Our listeners were instantly impressed with the clarity …the dream-like sound picture of Madonna’s Frozen was tremendously vivid with the Atlas Hyper.' (HiFi News Dec 2012)
-
'Outstanding – amongst the best. It’s not what the Atlas interconnects are adding to the music but more the fact that they are taking nothing away. Tonally they are neutral so no grain or smear is added to the replay chain.' (HiFi World Magazine Apr 2017)
