Synergistic Research Atmosphere SX USB Cable Key Features:
- UEF Graphene Matrix Shielding with Carbon Fibre Tuning Discs – lowers noise floor for clearer, more detailed, and fatigue-free high frequencies.
- SRX Long-Duration High-Voltage Conditioning – delivers holographic realism, three-dimensional presence, and exceptional timbral accuracy.
- Direct-to-Ground Shielding – minimizes interference for improved resolution, tonal accuracy, and natural high-frequency extension.
- Optimized Conductor Alloy and Shielding Matrix – enhances low-level detail and emotional connection to music.
- UEF Ground Plane compatibility – connects to a Synergistic Research Ground Block to increase bass control, midrange presence, and overall system holography.
Product Description:
The Atmosphere SX USB cable is engineered with a singular focus: to deliver music with exceptional low-level detail and an emotional connection, free from the common pitfalls of digital playback. It incorporates proprietary UEF Graphene shielding, enhanced with UEF Technology first introduced in the SRX cable loom. A direct-to-ground shield further reduces noise, achieving a lower noise floor than conventional shields that pass interference to component ground. Each cable also undergoes the SRX Long Duration High Voltage conditioning process to maximize resolution while preserving musicality. Additional advancements include a new conductor alloy and an optimized shielding matrix, selected through double-blind testing for superior low-level detail, tonal accuracy, and a remarkable high-frequency extension that remains natural and never fatiguing.
UEF Matrix Shield with Graphene Matrix Shielding
The Atmosphere X Series originally explored ways to improve UEF Shielding by positioning UEF Tech at key grid points along cable shields—a method now known as Matrix Shielding. This design lowers the noise floor and enhances clarity. Atmosphere SX refines the concept further by incorporating newly developed Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs, which improve the loom’s ability to cancel noise that could otherwise make high frequencies sound fatiguing. The result is greater resolution, a more holographic soundstage, and improved musicality.
Quantum Tunneling SRX Long Duration High Voltage Conditioning
After perfecting highly natural and holographic cables, Synergistic Research introduced a new high-voltage conditioning process for Atmosphere SX. This process applies a sweeping frequency plot for an extended duration. They experimented with dozens of frequencies in different combinations over a prolonged time period before landing on just the right mix. They even built a new Tesla Coil to handle the excess heat generated during long conditioning sessions. Once finalized, the SRX conditioning process created holographic realism and timbrel accuracy far beyond our previous Tesla Coil conditioning protocol. conditioning sessions. The final SRX conditioning process delivers exceptional timbral accuracy, holographic realism, and three-dimensional presence, surpassing previous Tesla Coil protocols.
UEF Ground Plane
Atmosphere SX Digital interconnects incorporate the capability to ground your cables to a Synergistic Research Ground Block (sold separately) to elevate the performance even further. Benefits include a noticeable increase in deep bass power and weight, a more holographic sound field, smoother high frequencies with greater extension and ‘air’, a more present and layered mid-range, increased tonal density with an apparent increase in resolution.
