Element Superior Integra RCA

DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES:  

A ‘next generation’ interconnect with a neutral, dynamic sound, providing an excellent base for further system upgrades.

Our original Element Integra has won numerous awards internationally and remains one of our most successful products.

The Element Superior is perhaps best thought of as our ‘turbo-charged’ version, building on the strengths of the original without losing the essential balance which let it work so well in many different systems.

To improve the performance, we began by increasing the OCC copper content of the cable by over 20% compared to the Element. An improved Polyethylene dielectric with lower dielectric constant offers improved bandwidth and increasing the diameter of the cable improves and stabilizes the cable’s impedance characteristic.

Finished in an attractive pearl grey, it is the first cable to benefit from our new calibrated shield crimping on the Integra non-magnetic RCA plug – which offers a level of consistency of termination and reliability unheard of at this price level. The Element Superior is the only fully 100% calibrated analogue interconnect on the market!

The low mass Integra connector features a solder-free, cold-weld connection, all optimized to create a coherent, continuous signal path with maximum resistance to RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) which can raise noise levels in a poorly shielded cable.

The result is a cable with a large three-dimensional soundstage which combines clean dynamic bass with a sophisticated portrayal of fine detail, without the artificial glare or brightness which affects many budget cables.

The Element range includes other analogue termination options, complementary USB & digital interconnects, and speaker cables.

THE ATLAS DIFFERENCE:    

1. Conductor Purity   

Atlas uses the highest-quality conductive materials to minimize the impurities that impede the signal’s path. Their top-of-the-range products use incredibly pure OCC copper and solid OCC silver conductors.   

2. Manufacturing Consistency   

Atlas avoids soldering and the variability it introduces. All Atlas products are manufactured using a proprietary cold-welding process to fuse the connector to the cable, creating an airtight metal-on-metal contact that is identical every time.

3. Signal Screening   

Atlas takes great pains to screen our cables from the effects of the noisy environs in which modern systems are embedded. They also offer unique solutions for draining interference and noise, both within and outside of the cable.  

4. Harmony of Materials   

Atlas focuses on establishing conductive constancy or equilibration between the main conductor, the plug, and the insulating material. Audio signals are delicate — so wherever possible, they avoid combining disparate materials of differing resistances, and choose materials that will have the least possible effect on the audio signal.   

5. Acclaimed in 30+ Countries   

The Atlas “state of the art” products, such as the award-winning Mavros and Asimi ranges, are regarded as being among the finest available anywhere at any price, receiving accolades in Europe, the US, Canada, Japan, and the Far East.   

Atlas products are researched, designed, and produced in Kilmarnock, in the west of Scotland. Everyone on the Atlas team has spent their lives in the hi-fi and audio-visual industry.
