Atlas Hyper DIN to Achromatic RCA 1:2 Interconnects

Hyper DIN to Achromatic RCA by Atlas Cable is a high performance cable with a wide-band, neutral sound, designed to be a superior option for equipment utilising DIN socketry.

Based on the acclaimed Hyper Ultra RCA I/C, the Hyper DIN interconnect utilises a shielded four-core construction and patented dual drain system (dd) to ensure excellent immunity to interference and noise.

The conductor in the Hyper DIN cable is a solid core OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) copper core surrounded by multiple bunch-stranded satellite conductors of high purity OCC copper, The speed characteristic of analogue cables is determined primarily by the dielectric performance of the insulator applied around the conductor, Hyper’s conductors are encapsulated within a high-efficiency gas foamed Polyethylene dielectric, with excellent immunity to interference and noise.

Termination is via wide-band, low-mass solder-free DIN & Ultra RCA connectors – the fewer discontinuities in the signal path, the lower the level of signal degradation and the better the performance.

Atlas dual drain system - normally screened cables suffer from screen distortion when they are prepared for production. (If you've ever wired a plug or connector which uses a screened cable, you've done this yourself, cutting back and probably twisting the screening braid for termination). This distortion of the screen has a measurable impact, effectively changing the impedance and therefore the performance of the cable.

Atlas 180-degree DIN plugs are wired as follows by default: Pin 2 = Ground; Pin 3 = Left, Pin 5 = Right. Atlas also offer 4-pin and 5-pin variants suitable for Naim equipment. If you’re unsure, or require a different configuration, please contact us. Always check with your equipment manufacturer’s instructions before ordering.

The Atlas Hyper range includes DIN and XLR termination options, digital interconnects plus stereo and bi-wire speaker cables.

Technology

• DIN Plug - Atlas high quality 5 pin DIN plug. Die-cast metal, multi-pole precision audiophile connector.
• 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.
• PEF Dieletric - Foamed Polyethylene. The foaming process uses a blowing agent, of which there are two types. Atlas use the gas-foamed method which creates a more inert, consistent and higher quality product.
• 4-Core + Screen Dual-Drain - Individually matched conductors (one pair for signal path, the other pair acts as the return conductor) enclosed within a protective woven screen. Combined with the Atlas dd (dual drain) system which avoids distortion of the screening braid during assembly, which can change the RF impedance of the cable and adversely affect performance.
