Atlas Element RCA TT R1 Phono Cable

The latest generation of the Atlas Element TT R1 phono cable brings several new innovations to deliver a more subtle, more balanced and more transparent sound.

ATLAS ELEMENT TT R1: features

Developed to meet the growing demand for quality cables dedicated to analogue, and in particular to turntables fitted with RCA outputs. It uses high-purity OFC copper conductors with an expanded PEF dielectric. It is built around a pseudo-symmetrical configuration of the two channels and a braided OFC shield. One of the essential elements is the connector. More than ten years ago, Atlas found that the traditional RCA connector, CNC-machined with a metal body, had a weak point, with a significant loss of performance. Their research showed that polycarbonate, and then ABS, were higher-performing materials for the connector body. This made it possible to create a low-dielectric-constant, low-mass, non-conductive RCA connector while retaining the robustness and stability of a CNC-machined product. The connection to the conductors is made by crimping, and therefore without solder. This cable is supplied with a ground cable fitted with flat spade connectors.

It represents a significant improvement over the cables originally supplied with entry-level turntables. The Atlas Element TT R1 delivers a rich, balanced sound that fully immerses you in the music. Its value for money is exceptional.
