Synergistic Research Atmosphere Euphoria SX XLR Interconnect

Synergistic Research Atmosphere Euphoria SX XLR Interconnect

A reference-level analogue signal cable for compatible DACs, preamplifiers, source components and power amplifiers. Euphoria SX is the most advanced interconnect in the Atmosphere SX family, designed around dedicated balanced conductor geometries and Synergistic Research's proprietary shielding and UEF tuning systems.

Manufacturer technology and construction

Synergistic Research specifies four fifth-generation Tricon Silver Matrix geometries and eight handcrafted pure-silver AirString conductors for its balanced XLR configuration. The AirStrings employ high-purity 6N silver within a sealed-air dielectric. Its shielding incorporates carbon-fibre UEF tuning discs, graphene-derived Matrix Shielding and a factory high-frequency, long-duration conditioning process developed for the company's flagship SRX cables. The manufacturer describes Galileo SX Gold and Silver tuning bullets for system-dependent voicing, alongside the option to connect compatible cable shields to an appropriate Synergistic Research Active Ground Block.

Key specifications and features

• Balanced analogue XLR cable, not an AES/EBU digital connection
• Dedicated XLR configuration with four Tricon Silver Matrix geometries and eight pure-silver AirStrings
• Sealed-air dielectric and UEF Matrix Shielding with carbon-fibre treatment discs
• Gold and Silver Galileo SX tuning-module system described by the manufacturer
• Compatible shield grounding via optional Synergistic Research equipment
• Choose an existing 1m or 1.5m Shopify variant; special lengths by quotation

System matching and compatibility

Check that both your source and amplifier offer compatible balanced analogue connections. Connector gender, pin wiring and the distance between equipment should be confirmed before purchase. Although AES/EBU digital also uses XLR-shaped plugs, it is a different interface. Kronos AV can assess whether an RCA or balanced XLR connection is the more suitable choice in your system.

Frequently asked questions

Will XLR always be better than RCA? Not automatically; performance depends on the connected circuitry and installation. Are Gold and Silver tuning modules different cable lengths? No; they are external tuning choices described by the manufacturer, and exact UK package contents should be confirmed.
