Atlas Mavros Ultra RCA S/PDIF Interconnect

Description

Mavros Ultra S/PDIF

Our finest wide bandwidth S/PDIF cable, utilising ultra-pure solid OCC copper conductors, designed to be technically and sonically superior, without the typical noise-related ‘glare’ freqently found in inferior cables. Recommended for use whenever signal integrity is paramount, for example between CD transport or hi-res media player/streamer and DAC.

A true reference class 75 Ohm digital cable.

Mavros Ultra S/PDIF is the finest wide bandwidth S/PDIF cable available from Atlas Cables. This interconnect utilises a silver-plated copper conductor, designed to be technically and sonically superior, without the typical noise-related glare frequently found in inferior cables.

Recommended for use whenever signal integrity is paramount, for example between CD transport, hi-res media player/streamer, and DAC.

Atlas has developed a cable with extremely precise transmission and termination standards, incorporating the same microporous PTFE (Teflon™) dielectric insulation as the other Mavros-named interconnects.

The centre conductor is comprised of a monofilament conductor and 18 strands of super pure copper wire insulated by a thin layer of microporous PTFE. This new dielectric behaves almost like the theoretically perfect insulator (open air) with minimal effect upon the signal being transmitted.

The co-axial double shielding layers are an aluminium Mylar™ foil followed by OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) braiding after which the whole cable is protected by a PVC jacket damped with cotton yarn.

With a termination impedance of almost exactly 75 Ohms at 1 MHz and a low conductor-to-conductor capacitance of around 50 pF per-meter, Mavros Ultra S/PDIF digital interconnect perfectly matches consumer digital audio equipment to ensure error-free transmission of high speed digital signals. The result is evident in the timing and dynamic range of musical performances where the temporal smearing of lesser cables simply disappears.

Technology

• Ultra TCA Connector - The Ultra is a wide-band, OCC copper, constant impedance, self-cleaning, solder-free construction RCA plug.
• OFC Conductor - Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) was developed based on research that sound quality was related to the quality of copper and the processing used during cable manufacture.
• PTFE Dielectric - Microporous PTFE (Teflon™) is a unique, low density dielectric material, phase stable at room temperature, which offers significant performance improvements over solid PTFE (Teflon™) dielectric designs.
• Coaxial Construction - Central conductor (signal path) surrounded by dielectric material encased within a circular conducting screen which acts as the signal return path.
