Atlas' ‘ultimate’ speaker cable. Performance without compromise. A reference class pure silver speaker cable engineered for the world’s finest audio systems. Asimi uses very high-purity OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) silver conductors.
The OCC process is named after professor Atsumi Ohno, who in the late 1970s, discovered that by heating the drawing mould to a higher temperature than the molten copper you intend to cast, then cooling it soon after, the result is one long, high purity (99.99997%) metal crystal. Criticism of silver cables as generally ‘bright’ is the result of impurities and grain in the inferior conductors used.
The Asimi’s high-purity monocrystal conductors are arranged in a complex multi-stranded layout, with each cable leg composed of 3 pairs of solid conductors, each of different diameter, totalling 3.5mm² – an unusually high figure, given the cost of this purity of silver. In most silver cables, the conductor size is compromised to reduce cost –which explains why some critics suggest silver cables offer the listener very sweet highs but no weight or authority at low frequencies. That’s certainly not true of the Asimi, with several reviewers commenting on the sense of physical presence conveyed.
Atlas also focused on the coating insulating and protecting the silver. The Asimi has these conductors enveloped in our microporous Teflon dielectric. This new air-spaced material improves on the performance of the best solid Teflon or PTFE (Teflon™) insulators by providing a 30% greater signal velocity and superior integrity, particularly in high-frequency delivery. This is achieved because the new material has a dielectric constant of around 1.5 (the lower the number, the better), significantly better than the 2.1 typically achieved by the PTFE (Teflon™) insulators, which were previously the best available in these applications.
This obsessive attention to detail – and the combination of materials & assembly methods, which was only finalised after exhaustive testing – produces a cable which HiFi World’s reviewer described as‘ the best he’d ever heard’ and HiFi Plus summarised as ‘one of the very, very best.’
Atlas's goal is to make cables with no discernable character or sound of their own, which would be a form of distortion – Asimi is engineered to ‘disappear’ in your system, conveying the performance of your equipment with total transparency.
It should be noted that Asimi requires a ‘burn-in’ period during which the sound will continue to improve.

Transpose Modular Speaker Connector
The Transpose is a modular, cold-weld, air-tight, solder-free speaker plug. Interchangeable connector options are spade, Z-plug and expanding plug, available in gold or silver.
In a cold-weld connection, the metal of the connector plug and the wire are squeezed together under a calibrated pressure to form a robust, consistent, air-tight metal-to-metal contact with no damage to the cable dielectric. The result is a smooth, uninterrupted signal path that behaves as one continuous entity, with minimal signal degradation compared to soldered connections.
