Speaker Cables - Atlas Cables
Upgrading "bell wire" or cheaper cable to a higher quality speaker cable is one of the most effective upgrades you can make to your hi-fi system and will get a much better sound from your investment in speakers. We recommend you spend at least 10% of speaker value on a good quality speaker cable. We also sell a range of custom install speaker cables.
As well as good speaker cables, we highly recommend using bookshelf speakers with good speaker stands and for floorstanding speakers, we sell a range of floor isolators and spike protectors for wooden floors.
Most speaker cables are supplied "per metre" and is essentially cut off the reel, so we recommend you measure up and work out how much you need for each speaker (adding on slightly more for bends and for any possibility you move the speakers), and order the total number of metres required. When your cable arrives, it's simply a case of cutting it to length, stripping the ends and connecting your speakers to the speaker outputs on your hi-fi amplifier/music system. We always also recommend terminating your speaker cables with banana plugs or spade connectors (you can do this yourself or take advantage of our professional speaker cable termination service).
What improvements can you expect from using higher quality speaker cable? Better top end clarity, smoother midrange and stronger more tuneful bass. Not sure which cable to choose?

Atlas cables is a UK company, specialising in the design and manufacture of high quality cables, many of which have won excellent reviews and awards in the hi-fi press. The range spans from great value Element cables to the flagship Asimi cables.
Atlas is first and foremost an engineering company, so in designing their cables, Atlas listen carefully, test, measure and test again. With only a couple of exceptions, all Atlas products are researched, designed and produced in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, in west Scotland. In addition to the cable designs themselves, unlike other cable manufacturers, Atlas even design and manufacture their own RCA plugs, XLR plugs and custom plugs for cable grounding on some cable models.
The Atlas team have spent their lives in hi-fi and the audio visual industry and
are endlessly enthusiastic about it. In addition to great value cables, Atlas offer state of the art high end cables like the award-winning Mavros and Asimi cable range, which are regarded as among the finest cables in the world. Atlas continually refine their design and manufacturing processes, always looking for ways to make sure our customers get the best possible performance from their systems.
Most of our cables use the latest generation ‘cold-weld’ connectors, which optimises the cable assembly process, producing consistent, metal-to-metal airtight terminations. The result is superb performance and greater reliability, in turn supported by a 5 year guarantee. In addition to the entry level ranges, it’s hard not to be seriously impressed with Atlas’ Asimi and Mavros pairing. These are two of the very, very best. Plus it’s good to find a truly UK
base high-end offering. Atlas is definitely on the high-end map!
