Atlas Cables Zeno Melodic

OCC Copper twin-balanced headphone cable.

A high-performance cable elevating headphone performance.

Our hand-made Zeno Melodic headphone cables are designed to offer a significant performance gain over typical manufacturer-supplied cables.

For the Zeno Melodic, we‘ve incorporated a series of improvements in this latest generation cable. Zeno Melodic is a twin-balanced stranded OCC copper cable, with each channel individually screened and connected in a dual symmetrical configuration.

Zeno Melodic features our proven precision-crimped solder-free construction methods, the objective being to produce a continuous high-integrity signal path which avoids the breaks in material continuity which degrade fidelity.

Our design and development originally included a normal (non-balanced) jack connector option, but it quickly became clear that balanced operation gave considerably superior results and the single-ended option was discarded for the final product.

Staying true to our design principles meant designing a new family of low-mass, wide bandwidth connectors. These ‘Metik’ connectors are available in 3.5mm & 6.3mm jack plugs as well as a 4 pin XLR version in our ‘dark chrome’ finish.

The results speak for themselves; as well as excellent retrieval of fine detail, Zeno Melodic has a weight and solidity to its sound, with a wide dynamic range and well-defined soundstage, the latter not always a given in headphone listening.

Our ‘standard’ earpiece connector options suit popular makes/models, but we know there are numerous headphones out there with non-standard or unique connector configurations. No problem — because Atlas assemble all Zeno cables by hand in Scotland, we can build you a superb cable to your precise requirements, so get in touch direct or via your Atlas dealer.

Standard cable lengths available are from 0.5m – 4m in 0.5m increments, custom lengths are available on request.
