Atlas Hyper 5.0 Speaker Cable

A fantastic addition to the Hyper family of products that will offer all the performance attributes you expect from Hyper but more of it. The topology of the cable has been designed to maximise performance in multi-way, floor-standing speakers or speakers that require more control from the Amp, especially where you require longer runs of speaker cable.

The Hyper 5.0 shares the same characteristics as Hyper 3.5 but is able to deliver a more controlled signal to the loudspeaker, allowing it to work far more efficiently. The Hyper 5.0 speaker cable is a great opportunity to upgrade on your speaker cable when you are looking for a much greater control and detail.

Atlas Gold Plated Z Plugs

The Atlas Z plug has stood the test of time. Using beryllium copper for the contact area, It's designed to make a 100% contact within the 4mm female socket. The body is made from copper and is available for home assembly with grub screws to make contact with the conductors. When factory-fitted or fitted by an Atlas-appointed custom cable centre, they're cold welded under pressure in order to amalgamate the conductors to the plug in an air-tight seal. The outer sleeve is finished in black coloured ABS or in a turned brass with a fine oven-applied powder coat finish. The Atlas Z plug is justifiably considered to be one of the best 4mm plugs available.

• Low resistance
• High conductivity
• 80% copper with beryllium 4mm section, giving 100% contact
• Corrosion resistant
• Accepts conductors up to 5mm in diameter
• Solder-free for a cold weld air-tight interface between the plug and conductor or grub screw contact for DIY enthusiasts.

Atlas Achromatic Z Plugs

Atlas’s expert electro-mechanical knowledge has led to the innovation of the next generation of banana plugs known as the ‘Atlas Achromatic Z Plug’, Atlas has focused on improving performance to create a higher performance starting point for their speaker cables as well as eliminating variability in performance. This has been achieved by refocusing on materials and the assembly processes.

Atlas has made 4 key changes with the Achromatic Z plug. Firstly, the Achromatic Z plug barrel features a high-stability ABS material. This is strong, stable and of superlative surface quality.

In addition, there is also an improvement to the plug's contact resistance achieved by improving the compliance of the beryllium copper contact leaves featured on the Achromatic Z plug. Beryllium copper offers excellent conductivity of signals.

The third change was to upgrade the manufacturability of the plug for pneumatic tool processing.

Finally, there is a reduction in the overall mass of the Z-Plug by 35%, which has been shown to improve signal transmission.

The above changes mean a solder-free, low mass, self-cleaning, recyclable Z-plug with a non-conductive body.

Oxygen Free Copper (OFC)

OFC is produced through an extrusion process which takes place in an oxygen-free-inert-gas atmosphere. This leads to a reduced oxygen content (10 ppm) when compared to Tough Pitch Copper (TPC) and an improvement in conductivity which typically measures in at between 0.5% and 2% greater than TPC. The OFC process therefore produces a much higher quality audio cable than the TPC process. High purity conductors sound clearer than their unprocessed (TPC) counterparts because fewer crystal boundaries are present to cause signal degradation.
