Atlas Hyper RCA R1 & Hyper Duo R1 interconnect cables
For its new Hyper RCA R1 interconnect Atlas wanted to take the learnings from our latest Duo topology and implement a simpler form that could be used as a first upgrade step for our Element and Equator customers.
The physical cable is a balanced design featuring two identical internal OCC conductors enclosed in a double-layer metallised/woven OFC screen. The cable is connected in a symmetrical pseudo-balanced configuration to improve screening effectiveness and, as such, this cable is directional by design. The arrow printed on the plug should be connected pointing away from the preamp.

Hyper RCA Duo R1
The latest Duo symmetrical pseudo-balanced topology builds upon a tried and tested methodology that aims to improve common mode rejection of induced noise currents. Within each individual cable the hot and cold conductors are surrounded by their own independent precision woven OFC screen. At one end of the cable each of the screen pairs is connected to the cold (-8ve) connection in a pseudo balanced connection that drains both screens to earth via the system 0V. This makes the cable directional by manufacture and as such the arrow engraved on the plug should be connected pointing away from the preamp.
Additionally, both hot and cold conductors are twisted in a precision lay improving the overall EMI performance of the assembly. By draining broadband noise more efficiently to earth via the system 0V the Duo symmetrical pseudo balanced topology is capable of delivering outstanding dynamic range and sublime high-fidelity audio.
