A wide-bandwidth S/PDIF cable designed to be measurably and audibly superior without the typical noise-related 'glare' frequently found in inferior cables.

The Atlas design team has created a cable with extremely precise transmission and termination standards, recommended for use whenever signal integrity is paramount, for example between CD transport or 'hi-res' streamer and DAC.

The central conductor comprises strands of high-purity OCC copper with a thin dielectric layer of microporous PTFE, which behaves almost like the theoretically perfect insulator –free air – with minimal effect upon the signal being transmitted.

To protect against the harmful effects of RFI, co-axial double shielding layers combine an aluminium foil and an OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) braid, after which a damped cotton yarn layer with PVC jacket protects the whole cable.

With a termination impedance of almost exactly 75 Ohms at 1 MHz and a low conductor-to-conductor capacitance of around 50pF per meter the Mavros digital interconnect precisely matches the consumer digital audio specification — many so-called 'digital' cables do not — to ensure error-free transmission of high-speed wideband signals.

The benefit of our strict attention to detail is clearly evident in the timing and dynamic range of musical performances where the temporal ‘smearing’ of lesser cables is notable by its absence.

The cable is terminated with high-quality BNC plugs and is available in two termination configurations; Ultra RCA–BNC and BNC–BNC.
