Ascent Symmetrical XLR- XLR
The new Atlas Ascent Symmetrical XLR to XLR analogue audio interconnect is the first of our Reference range of products; it employs an OFC screen with copper mylar to give a 100% RFI rejection The signal carrying conductors are our high purity, grain free OCC copper laid in a concentric fashion and contained in a polyethylene foam dielectric. The outer PVC sheath is surrounded in a beautiful grey woven fabric finish.
In the Ascent we do not place barriers from materials of different characteristics such as solder in the signal path; therefore the XLR plugs employed are our unique Atlas plugs.
The Ascent XLR to XLR analogue audio interconnect uses separate going and return conductors together with a woven screen. The screen with 100% coverage, rejects RFI interference. The two separate conductors dedicated to the going and the return signals are wired separately from the ground conductor. The Atlas XLR plugs employed are a unique design that needs no solder at the conductor to plug interface.
Atlas XLR plugs are wired as follows:
- Pin 1 = Ground
- Pin 2 = Hot
- Pin 3 = Cold
A few amplifier producers wire their systems with different conventions. Always check with the manufacturers instructions before ordering. If you need these wired in a different way, the factory will do that for you. Because the conductor to plug interface is crimped, they may not readily be altered in retrospect.
With the Atlas Ascent balanced interconnect, you can hear more. The construction is designed to reject noise and interference. The grain free OCC conductors with Teflon dielectrics improve signal transfer by reducing harmful deletions; with the Ascent cables, you'll experience the joys of listening to a big band-width signal with excellent VOP (velocity of propagation).
We recommend you do not use these interconnects with another type of speaker cable that's incapable of taking the big band width signal that this interconnect will provide.

Complementary products:
Complementary products are the pseudo balanced interconnect with RCA plugs, the SPDIF 75 Ohm digital cable and two speaker cables, the Ascent 2.0 and the Ascent 3.5.
Both speaker cables are made with OCC conductors and Teflon dielectrics; the latter of those cables, the 3.50 will satisfy listeners that want more bass from larger speakers. These complimentary products are designed to match with other products in the Ascent range.
Recommended accessories:
Recommended accessories for even better results, are the Atlas noise reducing Shield Caps, Atlas Eos power cables and the Atlas Eos balanced power supply.
Removal of the brass links between HF and LF terminals typically provided on speakers, and their replacement with better quality Atlas links will also contribute to much improved sound and listening pleasure.
