Atlas Equator 2 XLR to 2 XLR Audio Cable - Pair
Based on Atlas' Equator Integra RCA, a consistent award winner for over a decade (winning What HiFi’s Best Interconnect Award 4 times), the latest generation Equator XLR delivers a superb price/performance ratio. A superior balanced interconnect designed for today’s increasingly electrically noisy home environment.
Balanced OCC core and high-efficiency screening (to protect against noise inducing RFI) combine to offer a very revealing yet neutral sound. High levels of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) in a poorly shielded cable can result in a ‘bright’ sound which superficially suggests additional detail. In fact, a cable with superior screening may sound slightly ‘darker’ on first hearing, although one quickly realises the detail is all present, just without the artificial leading-edge ‘spotlit’ effect, and quieter backgrounds allow a wider dynamic range to be conveyed by the cable.
The Atlas Equator XLR is constructed with four central multi-core conductors of high purity OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) copper encapsulated within a low-loss foamed Polyethylene dielectric, with excellent immunity to interference and noise, making it ideally suited to longer cable runs.
The cable is terminated with Atlas' low-mass cold-weld (solder-free) XLR plugs, facilitating extremely consistent construction and improved audio performance. The result is a beautifully balanced interconnect which offers a large three-dimensional soundstage and fine levels of resolution.

Low-Mass Cold-Weld XLR Plug
The Atlas XLR combines a lightweight aluminium alloy body with precision-fit OFC/OCC connectors and solder-free construction.
Ohno Continuous Casting Copper (OCC Copper)
The Ohno continuous casting method re-heats the extrusion as the molten copper is forced out of the mould and very slowly and gradually draws the grain or crystal down the conductor''s length, creating a ‘single crystal structure.’ Actually, because no copper is 100% pure, there will always be a few boundaries produced by impurities. The frequency of boundaries created are quite insignificant. A typical crystal in a copper conductor drawn to 0.3 mm diam. using the OCC process is 125.00 metres long!
The benefits are obvious, with almost no crystal boundaries, the audio signal is no longer impeded down the copper wire and more information and detail is delivered faithfully to the receiving equipment.
