Atlas Cables upgrades Atlas Equator interconnect cable (1/8/2007)

Scottish specialist cable manufacturer, Atlas Cables, has announced upgrades that enhance the performance of its highly acclaimed Equator interconnect cable. As with all Atlas products, this cable has been researched, designed and developed for assembly and manufacture in Scotland.

Changes to the design include the use of even higher purity copper conductors and the use of the exclusive Atlas high-performance RCA connectors.

This asymmetrical unbalanced cable has a concentric stranded 99.9997% pure OFC copper multi-stranded conductor in a Low loss foamed polyethylene dielectric. This cable is double shielded with close lapped 99.9997% pure OFC copper multi-stranded screen providing 100% coverage for the avoidance of RFI.

This 75 ohm cable has an overall sheath of ivory coloured soft PVC with an overall diameter of 8.5mm.

The new RCA plug, fitted at both ends of the cable, features a beryllium insert for an even better contact as it gives a very tight fit at the same time as eliminating the problem suffered by lesser connectors - the tendency for the grip to slacken over time.

Sonically, the changes deliver an impressive immediacy as the signal path from source to amplification is delivered with the minimum of degredation or loss.

This upgraded version of the Atlas Equator interconnects will retail in the UK for about £45 for a one metre length.
