Product Description:
Foundation Ethernet cables build on the core technologies of the Foundation Series while incorporating innovations first developed for the flagship Galileo SX Active Ground Block and HDSX Ground Cables. Leveraging the UEF compound adapted from the Galileo Ground Block, these cables achieve a lower noise floor and enhanced holographic realism compared to other Foundation Series cables. They also employ the 3-Stage High Voltage Process originally developed for HDSX Ground Cables, delivering both heightened resolution and musicality—two qualities that are often mutually exclusive. Foundation Ethernet cables can be auditioned risk-free, offering a guaranteed improvement in your system’s performance or your money back.
UEF Matrix Shield with Graphene Matrix Shielding
The original Atmosphere X Series began as an experiment in advancing UEF Shielding by positioning UEF elements at strategic grid points along the shields—an approach that became known as Matrix Shielding. This design lowered the noise floor by arranging UEF elements in a grid pattern across the shield.
With Atmosphere SX, Matrix Shielding has been refined even further through the introduction of Carbon Fiber UEF Tuning Discs, created specifically for this series. These discs enhance the loom’s ability to cancel noise that would otherwise lead to harsh or fatiguing high frequencies. As a result, Atmosphere SX delivers greater holographic scale, improved resolution, and heightened musicality—pushing the boundaries of what UEF Shielding can achieve.
Quantum Tunneling—SRX Long Duration High Voltage Conditioning
First developed for the flagship SRX series, the new high-voltage conditioning process uses an extended sweeping frequency plot applied over long durations. During development, dozens of frequency combinations were tested before arriving at the ideal formula, and a new Tesla Coil was engineered to manage the heat generated during these extended sessions. The result is a conditioning process that delivers holographic realism and timbral accuracy well beyond what was possible with the earlier Tesla Coil protocol.
Included Carbon Tuning Discs—Tune to Perfection
Included with Foundation SX and SR30 interconnects, speaker cables, and power cables, Carbon Tuning Discs (\$199.95 MSRP) originate from the Atmosphere SX Loom, where they are strategically placed inside cables to help shape the SX sonic signature. Built on Synergistic Research’s patented UEF technology, each disc is infused with a specialized UEF compound that interacts with surrounding EM fields to elevate performance. The conductive carbon fiber structure amplifies this interaction, further enhancing the effect. Gold Carbon Tuning Discs enrich harmonic density while adding clarity for a more holographic and lifelike soundstage. Purple Carbon Tuning Discs, treated with a different UEF compound, extend clarity and soundstage openness even further than Gold.
