Atlas Hyper Turntable Cable Optimises Signal Purity
Atlas Hyper Turntable Achromatic X RCA is a low-noise OCC copper interconnect engineered specifically to maximise turntable performance. Designed for audiophiles who demand pristine analogue sound, this high-fidelity cable bridges the critical connection between tonearm output and amplifier or phono stage. It eliminates unwanted interference and distortion that standard cables often introduce, making it an essential upgrade for vinyl playback systems using moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) cartridges.
Hyper Cable Design Ensures Clean, Accurate Analogue Transmission
The Hyper Achromatic X RCA cable uses Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) copper to preserve signal clarity and musical detail. OCC technology produces ultra-pure, long-crystal copper, allowing unimpeded transmission of low-level analogue signals. This construction is ideal for turntables, where even minimal signal loss can degrade the soundstage, tonal accuracy, and dynamic expression.
The twin coaxial architecture incorporates PTFE insulation, known for its low dielectric constant and stability. Combined with a double-shielded screen—featuring both foil and OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) braid layers—the cable excels at rejecting radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic noise. This shielding maintains the integrity of the delicate phono signal, especially in environments saturated with digital and wireless electronics.
With an outside diameter of just 6 mm and a durable black fabric jacket, the cable remains flexible and space-efficient without compromising structural integrity or shielding effectiveness.
Achromatic X RCA Connectors Improve Signal Continuity and Minimise Loss
Atlas Achromatic X RCA connectors introduce a high-precision, low-mass design for enhanced conductivity and mechanical stability. Unlike conventional RCA plugs, which often rely on high-mass metal bodies that inadvertently introduce capacitance and eddy currents, these connectors use a non-magnetic ABS housing and solid OFC pins. This ensures a cleaner signal path with reduced energy reflection and lower mechanical resonance.
Each connector employs Atlas’s solder-free cold-weld technology, which eliminates contact resistance and improves electrical continuity. Instead of traditional solder joints, the plug uses gold-plated conjugate brackets that physically clamp to the conductor without compressing it. This method preserves impedance consistency and signal coherence across the interface.
The upgraded ‘rifled’ pin profile in the Achromatic X design ensures uniform alignment during crimping, increasing connection reliability and further reducing microscopic disruptions in the signal path.
Earth Tag Integration Supports Noise-Free Grounding for Phono Systems
The Hyper Turntable RCA cable features a dedicated earth tag to ensure proper grounding and eliminate hum. Phono systems are particularly susceptible to ground loop noise, which can manifest as hum or buzz in playback. By including a separate earth wire with a spade connector, this cable allows a secure connection between the tonearm ground and amplifier or phono stage earth terminal, ensuring stable grounding and ultra-quiet background performance.
This makes the cable exceptionally well-suited for both high-output MM cartridges and low-output MC designs, which demand a low-capacitance, high-rejection interconnect to fully express their sonic potential.
High-Fidelity Signal Chain Starts With the Hyper Achromatic X RCA
Atlas Hyper Achromatic X RCA cables are part of a reference-quality analogue signal chain, delivering detailed, spacious, and musically engaging playback. Whether you're using the cable with a classic belt-drive turntable or a modern direct-drive model, the enhanced shielding, OCC copper conductors, and PTFE dielectric ensure tonal purity and wide-bandwidth response.
Used throughout the Atlas Hyper and Ailsa ranges, this RCA design continues the brand’s tradition of meticulous engineering and continual refinement. Listeners can expect precise imaging, natural timbre, and extended dynamic range—qualities that vinyl records can deliver only when supported by equally refined interconnects.
