Atlas Achromatic Plugs
Atlas Achromatic connectors strive in every way to recreate the purest audio forms. They were built and developed from the older Integra connections. The connections now feature a solderless design reducing the amount of resistance and overall mass.
The new Atlas Achromatic RCA & Z plugs are now fitted as standard on all new Element, Equator, Hyper, and Ailsa analogue/digital interconnects and speaker cables. This increases the performance and overall efficiency of the connection on these models.
Atlas Achromatic technology
The new Atlas Achromatic series features the latest technology to create as little interference and overall resistance as possible which results in the seamless transmission of your original audio source. A key factor in achieving this is the new ‘cold weld’ technology implemented instead of the conventional soldering joints. The non-magnetic connectors create a smoother and more simplified signal path. The cold-weld technology allows for even transmissions between cable and connector meaning lower mass and less resistance adversely affecting the audio.
Atlas Ailsa Achromatic
The Ailsa series is the newest to the Atlas range and currently available in RCA form in either 0.5m or 1m lengths. The Ailsa cables have a wide bandwidth designed to maximise audio performance throughout your system. This plays a key part in the Ailsa range with the neutrally balanced, low mass connections that give an easy flowing and simple signal path for your audio.
The cold welds used offer super low resistance of just 0.0388 Ohm/m. The cables themselves are ultra-high purity OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) copper conductors and they are combined with a PTFE dielectric to help protect the cable from damage caused by extreme temperature and to achieve better resistance. Atlas plan on developing the range wider in the coming months to include more connectors.
Atlas Element Achromatic
Atlas Element range is perfect as a first cable upgrade into the high-performance Atlas world. It was Hi-Fi Choice recommended in 2020: “Here’s a (cable) loom less concerned about minding its sonic p’s and q’s that has a winning way with textures and timbres and homes in on the emotional core of the music.” – (Hi-Fi Choice Magazine, 2020)
The Element comes in either; 2.0 Speaker cables, Bi-Amped speaker cables Z 4:4 / 2:4, RCA Interconnectors, Subwoofer 1-2 cable, Standard Subwoofer cable, Tonearm cable, Turntable cable and RCA 1:2 ratio cable. No matter what element of your system you’re looking to upgrade the Element range has you covered! The cable itself contains 2mm² of concentric stranded OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) contained in a high-density polyethene dielectric (insulation layer) making superb value for money. The Achromatic Z connectors have high class features giving pure and clean audio.
Atlas Equator Achromatic
The Atlas Equator Series is superb value for money and is perfect for improving the performance of you’re whole audio system. Models in the range include 2.0 Speaker cables, RCA Interconnects, Subwoofer cable, Subwoofer 1:2 cable, Tonearm cable, Turntable cable and Metik or Hyper 3.5mm to RCA 1:2 ratio. Like the Element range, the Equator series has you covered with the addition of the 3.5mm jack which allows for the connection of external devices such as phones or media players with a jack output. The 3.5mm to Achromatic RCA cable features four central multi-core conductors made up of two identical pairs of Oxygen Free Copper wires within a single-shielded outer cover.
The Equator series was awarded 5 stars by ‘What Hi-FI? Sound and vision’: “…The Equator doesn’t buckle, offering instead a natural, measured sound that, while at times understated, still brims with detail and nuance.” – (What Hi-Fi Magazine, 2012)
Atlas Hyper Achromatic
The Atlas Hyper Achromatic offers premium fidelity at a reasonable price. The range again comes in many forms of connector and cable configurations to suit your needs including 1.5, 2.0 and 3.5 speaker cables, Bi-amped speaker cable Z 4:4 and Z 2:4, RCA cable interconnects, Standard and 1:2 subwoofer cable, Tonearm cable and standard turntable RCA.
The Atlas Hyper Achromatic were granted Hi-Fi news ‘Highly Recommended in 2010: ” …The cable’s balanced and even character brought out the instruments’ timbre. The percussion was powerful with deep, taut bass while the brass had lifelike ‘rasp’ when the occasion demanded.” – (Hi-FI News Magazine, 2010)
If you’re looking for super quality high fidelity audio connectors with the latest technology built-in at every step to ensure premium sound quality, try the Atlas Achromatic plugs on the Ailsa, Hyper, Element or Equator range; ideal and all at affordable prices!
