Atlas Hyper AES/EBU XLR Coaxial Cable

An Atlas Hyper AES-EBU digital cable is designed to deliver high-end sound quality and performance to digital components.

ATLAS HYPER AES-EBU XLR : features

The Hyper AES-EBU is a high-quality 110-ohm digital cable. In order to offer excellent value for money, Atlas uses a soldered XLR plug, but one with low contact resistance. It is paired with high-conductivity silver-plated OFC conductors. The dielectric is microporous PTFE. Added to this is a double shield made of an OFC copper braid and an aluminium foil. The bandwidth of most cables is determined mainly by the dielectric performance of the insulation and of the conductor material. One of the main challenges for this type of cable is to respect the 110-ohm impedance as closely as possible, in order to minimise reflections and, consequently, jitter. It is recommended to connect a high-end network player or CD transport to a finely built digital-to-analogue converter.

ATLAS HYPER AES-EBU XLR : test and listening

Like the Atlas Hyper digital cable, the Hyper AES-EBU offers a reproduction of great transparency and remarkable fluidity. The Hyper AES-EBU delivers excellent instrument separation and a very stable stereo image. The bass is precise and well articulated. The treble is detailed, without harshness or artificial brightness. The Hyper AES-EBU offers a neutral and clean sound with remarkable naturalness and musicality.

FAQ: Everything you need to know before buying the Atlas Hyper AES-EBU cable

What is the Atlas Hyper AES-EBU digital cable used for?

It is a 110-ohm symmetrical XLR digital cable, designed to connect a high-end network player or CD transport to a finely built digital converter.

Why is the 110-ohm impedance essential?

Respecting this 110-ohm impedance as closely as possible minimises reflections and, consequently, jitter. This is one of the main challenges for this type of cable.

How is the Hyper AES-EBU shielded?

It benefits from a double shield combining an OFC copper braid and an aluminium foil. Its conductors are high-conductivity silver-plated OFC copper, with a microporous PTFE dielectric and an XLR plug with low contact resistance.

What sound can I expect from the Hyper AES-EBU?

Great transparency and remarkable fluidity, with excellent instrument separation and a very stable stereo image. The bass is precise and articulated, the treble detailed without harshness or artificial brightness, for a neutral, clean, natural and musical sound.
