The first interconnects in the Atmosphere X lineup features a new UEF Matrix Shield developed not by measuring the system or the cable’s performance but by assessing how our brains respond to music with and without this new shield topology. Also new to ALIVE is a conditioning process and UEF Quantum resonator technology first developed for our BLUE Fuses. The result is one of the most musically satisfying cables we have ever built that also checks all the boxes Synergistic Research cables are famous for, including an ultra-low noise floor and “you are there” holographic realism.
Atmosphere SX Digital Interconnects
ALIVE Digital
Atmosphere SX ALIVE benefits from a new UEF Matrix Shield first developed for our state-of-the-art SRX cable loom for enhanced resolution and musical refinement over the prior X variant. We then applied the same high voltage long duration conditioning process, and a new UEF compound first developed for Synergistic Research Purple fuses. The result is a digital cable that excels in natural three-dimensionality with resolution and easy listening enjoyment found only in the most expensive digital transmission lines.
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.
UEF Ground Plane
Optimized performance.
Atmosphere SX Digital interconnects incorporate the capability to ground your cables to either a wall outlet with the included SR Ground plug or to a Synergistic Research Ground Block (sold separately) to elevate the performance even further. Benefits include a noticeable increase in deep bass power and weight, a more holographic sound field, smoother high frequencies with greater extension and ‘air’, a more present and layered mid-range, increased tonal density with an apparent increase in resolution.
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.

SR Ground Block (optional):
Atmosphere SX Alive Digital Interconnects have shields that can be grounded direct to earth with supplied ground cables bypassing your component’s power supplies for a lower system noise floor.
- To improve performance further still use an optional SR Ground Block with its UEF Ground Filter to elevate overall system performance; not only can you star ground and UEF filter the shields on all Galileo UEF interconnects and speaker cables in your system, but can also ground all of your system’s components to the Ground Block for a dramatic lowering of your system’s noise floor for greater detail, clarity and musicality.
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.
