Equator Achromatic RCA

DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES:  

A consistent award winner for over a decade (winning What HiFi’s Best Interconnect Award 4 times), the latest generation Equator Achromatic builds on the strengths of its predecessors to deliver an even greater price/performance ratio.

Sophisticated, involving sound and exceptional value for money.

The Equator Achromatic is of course fitted with our Achromatic non-magnetic RCA plug. The low-mass Achromatic connector features a precision calibrated cold-weld connection, creating a coherent, continuous signal path. The signal conductor is now high purity OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) copper encased with a superbly constructed double screen to provide maximum resistance to RFI (Radio Frequency Interference), which can raise noise levels in a poorly shielded cable.

The result is a beautifully balanced interconnect which offers a large three-dimensional soundstage and fine levels of resolution without any sense of exaggerated ‘detail,’ which is superficially impressive but quickly fatiguing to listen to.

The Equator range includes subwoofer, interconnect, streaming and speaker cables.

Achromatic RCA Plug

The Achromatic RCA is a low-mass, non-compression, constant impedance, self-cleaning, solder-free construction plug.

OCC Copper

OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) process was developed by Professor Ohno, from the Chiba Institute of Technology, to manufacture a very high purity single grain copper or silver. There are only a handful of companies in the world manufacturing via this method.

PEF

PEF (Foamed Polyethylene). The foaming process uses a blowing agent, of which there are two types. Atlas uses the gas-foamed method which creates a more inert, consistent and higher quality product.

Co-ax

Central conductor (signal path) surrounded by dielectric material encased within a circular conducting screen which acts as the signal return path.

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.
