The Ailsa Achromatic RCA, the first release in a new Atlas product family, is a wide-bandwidth interconnect designed to maximise the performance of high-performance audio systems.

The result of a new ‘ground-up’ approach to co-axial design, we consider it successfully addresses the shortcomings of typical co-ax cables which many audiophiles consider precludes the use of such a topology in ‘high-end’ systems.

The Ailsa combines unusually high-quality materials – ultra high-purity OCC conductor, Copper Mylar foil shield and microporous PTFE dielectric –with our next-generation high precision Achromatic RCA connector.

The result is a beautifully balanced open, accurate, natural sound which we think defines a new performance standard at its price point, and represents an ideal upgrade path for owners of Element or Equator cables.

Features

Achromatic RCA

The Achromatic RCA is a low-mass, non-compression, constant impedance, self-cleaning, solder-free construction plug.

OCC Copper

OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) process was developed by Professor Ohno, from the Chiba Institute of Technology, to manufacture a very high purity single grain copper or silver. There are only a handful of companies in the world manufacturing via this method.

PTFE

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.

Co-ax dd

Central conductor (signal path) surrounded by dielectric material encased within a circular conducting screen which acts as the signal return path. Combined with our dd (dual drain) system which avoids distortion of the screening braid during assembly, which can change the RF impedance of the cable and therefore its performance.
