Atlas Equator Achromatic Z 2.0 Speaker Cables

DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES: 

IN THE BOX: 2 speaker cables  

Equator 2.0 offers an essentially neutral performance with none of the exaggerated treble detail frequently found at this price point.

Atlas Equator 2.0 is a 2mm² cable using OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) conductors contained in a high-density PEF dielectric (insulation layer) that’s far more efficient than PVC or polyethylene. The superior dielectric offers both a better measured performance and an audible improvement in dynamics. The core assemblies are contained in a cotton yarn to reduce microphony and the outer sheath is in a pearl white finish. Our latest-generation Achromatic Z-plug is a proprietary low-mass, self-cleaning, precision-crimped (cold-weld) speaker connector fitted as standard. These cables are also available terminated with our cold-weld high quality OFC spades. 

Connector Type: Achromatic Z

Our proprietary Beryllium Achromatic Z Plug is a low-mass, self-cleaning, solder-free construction speaker plug.
Precision-built.
Cold-weld terminated with Atlas Achromatic Z (4mm).
High precision calibrated pneumatic cold-weld crimp connection.

Conductor Material: OFC

OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) was developed based on research that sound quality was related to the quality of copper and the processing used during cable manufacture.

Dielectric Material: PEF

Microporous PTFE (Teflon™) is a unique, low density dielectric material, phase stable at room temperature, which offers significant performance improvements over solid PTFE (Teflon™) dielectric designs.

Construction: Twin-core round

A pair of identically matched conductors (one for signal path, the other acts as the return conductor) enclosed within a protective round PVC sheath.

Atlas 5 Year international warranty.

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.
