Termination Instructions
Speaker cables
The Atlas range of speaker cables consisting of the Basic 1.25, Basic 2.0 and Basic Bi Wire use a polyethylene dielectric.
The Equator 2.0, 3.0 and Equator Bi Wire use a polypropylene dielectric.
The Ichor Ascent and Hyper range use Teflon.
The new Mavros cables use microporous PTFE.
These dielectrics have superior qualities, but may be difficult to strip. We therefore strongly recommend that you ask your retailer to terminate these cables with air tight, cold weld Atlas Z plugs or spades.
The Ichor, Ascent and Mavros cables are usually supplied in custom made lengths from the factory; we recommend these as they're carefully assembled using high quality plugs or spades and are fully tested.
All Speaker cables may be terminated in All Cu spades, OCC spades or Atlas Z plugs. The latter with either non magnetic plastic covers or metal covers. The Ascent, Ichor and Mavros when factory assembled, use metal covers.
Interconnects
Atlas interconnects with the exception of the Basic, Equator Mk11 and the Questor employ solderless cold welds to connect the wire to plug interface.
The Explorer and Compass use standard Atlas solderless RCA plugs or soldered BNC plugs.
The Navigator and Voyager may be specified with the standard RCA plug or the better quality OCC (All Cu) RCA plugs. The Navigator may also be specified with the Atlas XLR plug.
The Elektra is fitted with the All Cu RCA plug and may also be specified with the Atlas XLR plug.
Because the ubiquitous XLR plug is used in professional applications, they're readily available and are widely used in audiophile cables, but these are not good enough to compliment superior Atlas cables. The XLR plugs fitted to the Navigator, Elektra and Mavros are the excellent Atlas superior quality XLR plugs using cold weld OCC copper pins. In common with all Atlas products, the Atlas XLR plug is an exclusive Atlas design that was made specifically for high quality audio applications with high quality cables and is the only one of its kind available.
