Atlas Element Achromatic X Turntable RCA Delivers Low-Noise Analogue Fidelity
Atlas Element Achromatic X Turntable RCA is a low-noise OFC interconnect engineered to enhance the delicate signal transfer from vinyl turntables to phono preamps. Designed to complement both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, this high-performance cable is an essential upgrade from the bundled, entry-level alternatives commonly shipped with basic turntables. Its construction and signal integrity are optimised for the ultra-low voltage levels typical of phono outputs, ensuring minimal distortion and maximum musicality.
Element Achromatic RCA Enhances Turntable Signal Clarity
Atlas Element Achromatic RCA is designed to reduce signal degradation and preserve audio detail by using Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors. These high-purity copper cores are enclosed in a foamed PEF dielectric and arranged in a pseudo-balanced dual-channel configuration. This topology, combined with a woven OFC shield, significantly lowers susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise — essential in analogue playback chains.
This combination of materials and layout results in an exceptionally transparent and dynamically engaging sound. The stereo image retains its depth and space, while low-level detail remains intact, providing listeners with a more immersive and emotionally resonant vinyl experience.
Achromatic X RCA Plugs Optimise Signal Integrity and Durability
Achromatic X RCA connectors are central to the cable's performance. Evolving from Atlas' renowned Integra design, these latest-generation RCA plugs use a cold-weld, solder-free connection system that ensures maximum contact efficiency and minimal signal loss. The contact pins are machined from solid OFC, not copper alloy, to deliver superior conductivity and preserve the integrity of the audio signal.
The plug body, constructed from non-conductive ABS, is low mass and low dielectric, effectively rejecting spurious capacitance and avoiding the signal degradation typical of traditional metal-bodied connectors. The PTFE internal structure is tuned to match the electrical characteristics of the cable, enabling a continuous and consistent signal path from cartridge to amplifier.
Atlas Achromatic X Delivers Superior RFI Rejection and Contact Stability
Atlas Achromatic X interconnects incorporate proprietary conjugate bracket technology that eliminates the need for compression or solder. These gold-plated return paths maintain impedance consistency while providing enhanced mechanical stability. The two asymmetrical leaves of each bracket spring open upon insertion, simultaneously securing the connection and cleaning the signal path—preserving long-term contact quality without degradation.
This level of mechanical precision and low-mass design also helps reject airborne radio frequency interference, a common issue in analogue systems. The result is a cable that not only transmits audio with high fidelity but also guards it from environmental contamination.
Vinyl Playback Refined With Atlas Element Turntable Interconnects
Atlas Element Achromatic X Turntable RCA interconnects are tailored specifically for turntable use, with signal integrity and noise rejection at the forefront. Each cable includes a spade-tagged earth lead, essential for grounding the turntable chassis and eliminating hum. By addressing both electrical and mechanical challenges inherent in vinyl playback, this cable brings a significant step up in sonic performance—offering finely tuned balance, improved frequency extension, and lowered noise floor.
Ideal for vinyl enthusiasts upgrading from stock cables or audiophiles refining their analogue front-end, the Element Achromatic X model brings Atlas' precision engineering and class-leading connector design into the heart of your hi-fi system.
