Atmosphere SX Series Phono Cables

EXCITE Phono

Atmosphere X EXCITE is our highest resolution non-Airstring Phono cable with 2 x 4th Gen-Tricon RCA and 4 x 4th Gen-Tricon Geometry XLR hand built and engineered in our California factory. For connectors, we choose our highest performance SR20 RCA and Neutrik XLR. Shielding is Level 3 UEF Matrix with Graphene for a super low noise floor and sky-high musicality. Performance is enhanced with our award-winning SR BLUE Fuse treatment for musicality and resolution while soundstaging is enhanced with a blast of 1,000,000 volts of electricity in a process we call Quantum Tunneling. All told this is a flexible phono cable capable of taking any analog rig to a significant next level.

 

 

UEF Matrix Shield with Graphene

Matrix Shielding

The previous Atmosphere X Series Cables started as an experiment to explore ways of improving UEF Shielding by placing UEF Tech at strategic grid points on the shields of Atmosphere cables, now called Matrix Shielding. Matrix Shielding arranges UEF elements on a grid pattern of the cable shield to lower its noise floor. Atmosphere SX refines Matrix Shielding further by using new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs developed expressly for Atmosphere SX to enhance the loom's ability to cancel noise that would otherwise cause high frequencies to sound harsh or fatiguing. As a result of our ongoing research into UEF Shielding, we have pushed the resolution envelope when voicing Atmosphere SX by developing new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs for a more holographic sound with enhanced resolution and musicality.

Gold SX Tuning Module

Refine your sound.

We’ve completely reformulated and re-voiced our Galileo Tuning Circuits with new technology designed for the new ultra resolution and musical Galileo SX line of cables. Now Gold Bullets impart even greater musicality and liquid smoothness with a touch more air and detail than before. For best results, it is recommended that you first allow your Synergisitic Research cable to settle into your system for 72 to 96 hours without removal or handling and without Gold Bullets attached. Then listen first with no Gold Bullet, and then with Gold bullets and pick the option that makes the best music in your system.
Atmosphere Excite SX provides the Gold SX Tuning module while Atmosphere Euphoria SX  comes equipped with both the Gold and Silver SX Tuning Modules.

Gold SX Tuning Module’s Sonic Characteristics:

  • Greater Musicality
  • Liquid Smoothness
  • More Air and Detail

Silver SX Tuning Modules are sold separately and can be used with Excite interconnects.

 

 

Quantum Tunneling

SRX Long Duration High Voltage Conditioning.

After perfecting the most natural-sounding and holographic cables in our history, we set out to take them further with a new high voltage conditioning process that applies a sweeping frequency plot for an extended duration. We experimented with dozens of frequencies in different combinations over a prolonged time period before landing on just the right mix. We even built a new Tesla Coil to handle the excess heat generated during long conditioning sessions. Once finalized, the SRX conditioning process created holographic realism and timbrel accuracy far beyond our previous Tesla Coil conditioning protocol.

Upgrade your XLR

SR XLR

Connectors are not all created equal. After years of research into connector design we chose high purity, high conductivity, low mass Silver as the base material for SR20 RCA and XLR connectors to deliver more refined detail and accurate information. Teflon is used for it's dielectric properties and the special design gives the greatest area of contact both for wire and plugs insuring that all of your music will get through. These high performance connectors are standard on our Flagship Galileo Interconnects and can be added to Atmosphere as a performance driven upgrade path.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPECIFICATIONS

2 each (RCA) 4 each (XLR) Tricon 4th Gen cable geometries
  • Silver Matrix: Mono crystal conductors with a separate ground conductor from shield
  • Dielectric: Teflon
  • Shielding: UEF Ground Plane Technology
  • Geometry: 3 channel single ended / 8 channel balanced
  • Listening tests performed for signal direction before build
Geometry Count
  • Each Pair of Atmosphere X Excite Phono cables are 2 separate runs of Tricon 4th Gen cables RCA -or- 4 separate runs Tricon 4th Gen cables XLR plus one Level 1 OTSP UEF Field Filter for RCA or XLR interconnects.
RCA and XLR Connectors
  • Silver Teflon SR 20 RCA -or- Neutrik NC3FX-BAG, NC3MX-BAG XLR connectors
2 each Red Tuning Module
  • Optional voicing for incresed warmth, liquidity
Build Notes
  • 38 (RCA) 50 (XLR) point-to-point hand soldered connections
  • Atmosphere Level 3 UEF Matrix Treatment: 2 different UEF coatings with Graphene are applied to connectors and cabling and ground significantly reducing the noise floor and allowing a purer signal to transfer with less grain providing more warmth and detail. The conductors and ground plane also benefit from dampening effect that UEF provides.
