Atlas Equator MKII Bi-Wire Speaker Cable
Product Information
The Atlas Equator MKII provides for most system types. It is available as a 2 sq mm cable or a 3 sq mm cable or in the form of a bi-wire cable using 2.sq mm for the bass and two conductors of 1.2 sq mm for the treble. Unlike it's less expensive siblings, the Equator MKII uses a Polypropylene dielectric thats far more efficient than PVC or polyethylene, and that gives greater signal velocity or speed thereby maintaining improved phase stability. The conductors are contained in a cotton yarn in order to reduce microphony and the outer sheath is in a tasteful pearl white finish. The Equator cables give an assured fatigue free performance with extended and sweet treble and a satisfying bass. Altogether these cables offer an effortless sound that provides a holographic sound stage with stereo width, height and depth that involve the listener. Buy the 2.0 sq mm for good balanced systems, the 3.0 sq mm to increase bass and the Bi Wire for improved high frequency performance.

Atlas Bi Wire cables are technically advanced. That’s because they use conductors of different sizes that are matched for their characteristics. The H.F. (high frequency) signal is sent down a pair of solid conductors. That’s because the occupation area for the high frequency signal is greater in a solid conductor than it is in a stranded conductor therefore the solid conductor is able to extend the high frequency signal upwards into improved smear free treble.
The bass conductor is a multi stranded design in order to introduce a greater cross section of metal. That’s because the L.F. (low frequency) signal occupies the centre of the conductor. It follows larger conductors are able to extend the low frequency signal into improved bass.
Atlas bi wire cables are better by design.
