Atlas Zeno 1:2 High Performance OCC Copper Headphone Cable

Atlas Zeno OCC Copper Headphone Cable Enables 1:2 Balanced Signal Splitting

Atlas Zeno OCC copper headphone cable is a high-performance 1:2 upgrade cable specifically engineered to deliver precision signal transfer from a single source to a dual earpiece configuration. Designed for dynamic headphones requiring a balanced left/right signal path, the Zeno 1:2 configuration offers exceptional channel separation, imaging accuracy and custom termination flexibility—ideal for high-end headphone systems that demand balanced connections and uncompromised sonic clarity.

Built by hand in Scotland and housed in premium Eurobox packaging, the Zeno 1:2 cable pairs professional-grade construction with audiophile-grade materials to meet the expectations of discerning headphone listeners.

Zeno 1:2 Cable Uses OCC Copper to Maximise Signal Purity

Zeno 1:2 headphone cable is constructed with twin coaxial geometry and high-conductivity OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper, chosen for its superior structural consistency and low-loss transmission properties. The 1:2 configuration enables signal routing from a single amplifier output (such as a 4-pin XLR or 6.3mm jack) to two separate left and right headphone earpieces, supporting dual-entry headphone models with separate earcup connectors.

Each channel maintains strict channel integrity, aided by PTFE dielectric insulation and a dual OFC braid screen that minimises crosstalk and protects against electromagnetic interference. The result is a highly articulate, stable audio presentation—rich in micro-detail and low in noise floor—especially when used with fully balanced headphone amplifiers.

Cold-Weld Termination Preserves Balanced 1:2 Signal Integrity

Atlas Zeno 1:2 OCC cable leverages Atlas' proprietary cold-weld construction—a solder-free technique that bonds connectors and conductors with zero heat-induced degradation. This ensures clean transitions from input to split outputs, a critical factor in balanced headphone systems where phase accuracy and electrical symmetry are essential.

To complement this architecture, Atlas equips each Zeno 1:2 cable with Metik connectors—low-mass, wide-bandwidth terminations optimised for high-fidelity use. Available in 2.5mm, 3.5mm, and 6.3mm jack formats, as well as balanced 4-pin XLR, these connectors are finished in Atlas’ signature dark chrome for mechanical robustness and signal consistency.

Zeno Cable in 1:2 Format Offers Full Compatibility with Dual-Entry Headphones

Zeno 1:2 OCC cable is purpose-built for headphones requiring dual mono earpiece inputs, commonly found on high-end dynamic and planar magnetic headphones from brands such as Audeze, Focal, Meze, and HIFIMAN. The cable’s dual-output design delivers discrete left/right signals from a single amplifier source, maintaining channel isolation while enhancing stereo imaging and spatial detail.

Atlas supports a wide range of earpiece connector formats as standard, and because each cable is hand-built, custom terminations are readily available for rare or proprietary headphone connectors. This ensures maximum compatibility across both consumer and professional headphone setups.

Atlas Zeno 1:2 OCC Copper Cable Combines Balanced Design with Handcrafted Quality

Zeno OCC 1:2 headphone cable offers tailored lengths from 0.5m to 4m in 0.5m increments, allowing users to match their cable precisely to their listening environment—whether it’s a compact desktop space or a dedicated listening room with distant amplification. Custom lengths can also be requested, including portable-friendly options.

The striking red fabric jacket not only adds a visual identity but also provides a tangle-resistant, abrasion-tolerant outer layer that complements the rugged internal structure. Combined with OCC copper and advanced shielding, this makes the Zeno 1:2 configuration ideal for those seeking a robust, sonically transparent link between headphone amplifier and dual-entry headphones.
