Synergistic Research Atmosphere SX Reference Ethernet

Experience uncompromising digital audio with the Atmosphere SX Reference Ethernet cable that delivers ultra-high resolution without listening fatigue. This flagship cable features tip-to-tip ground plane technology for dramatically lower noise floors, plus included SX Gold and Silver UEF Tuning Circuits that let you dial in either precise detail and air (Silver) or musical warmth and liquidity (Gold) to perfectly match your system. Built with advanced UEF Graphene Shielding, proprietary conductor alloys, and our new Matrix Shielding—plus conditioning technology used on our SRX Cable Series—this cable achieves the ultimate combination of holographic scale, natural musicality, and fatigue-free listening whether you’re streaming Tidal, Spotify, or your highest-resolution sources.

UEF Matrix Shield with Graphene

Matrix Shielding

The previous Atmosphere X Series Cables started as an experiment to explore ways of improving UEF Shielding by placing UEF Tech at strategic grid points on the shields of Atmosphere cables, now called Matrix Shielding. Matrix Shielding arranges UEF elements on a grid pattern of the cable shield to lower its noise floor. Atmosphere SX refines Matrix Shielding further by using new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs developed expressly for Atmosphere SX to enhance the loom's ability to cancel noise that would otherwise cause high frequencies to sound harsh or fatiguing. As a result of our ongoing research into UEF Shielding, we have pushed the resolution envelope when voicing Atmosphere SX by developing new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs for a more holographic sound with enhanced resolution and musicality.

Quantum Tunneling

SRX Long Duration High Voltage Conditioning.

After perfecting the most natural-sounding and holographic cables in our history, we set out to take them further with a new high voltage conditioning process that applies a sweeping frequency plot for an extended duration. We experimented with dozens of frequencies in different combinations over a prolonged time period before landing on just the right mix. We 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.

Atmosphere SX Reference Ethernet Build Notes:

8 each UEF CAT 7:

• 23 gauge solid copper conductors
• Dielectric: Solid Polyethylene
• Maximum Frequency: 500 MHz
• Shielding: Silver Mylar -Quantum Tunneled Ground Plane Technology
• Geometry: 4 twisted pair
• Listened for signal direction before build
• Hand crafted in our California factory

Build Notes:

• 16 point-to-point hand crimped connections
• Atmosphere SX UEF Graphene Shield: 2 different UEF coatings with Graphene are applied to connectors and cabling and ground significantly reducing the noise floor and allowing a purer signal to transfer with less grain providing more warmth and detail. The conductors and ground plane also benefit from dampening effect that UEF provides
• Quantum Treatment: After the cable is completely assembled all connections and cabling are treated with 1,000,000 volts of electricity at specific frequencies and pulse modulations, creating a canal in the conductor material and contact points at the molecular level that allows electrons to flow more freely. This allows the maximum amount of low level information through the conductors and provides for the highest amount of realism in your music
• Secondary UEF Blue Treatment originally developed for SR Blue Fuses
• UEF Ground Plane Termination
• 1 Termination for Atmosphere tuning Module (Gold and Silver)
• Hand build time: 2.5 hours
• 5 day Burn-in: 2 step process
• Hand crafted in our California factory

SR Ground Block (optional):

To improve performance further, Atmosphere SX Ethernet interconnects have shields that can be grounded to an optional SR Ground Block or Active Ground Block to elevate overall system performance; not only can you star ground the shields on Atmosphere SX Ethernet interconnects to either the passive or ACTIVE Ground Block, but you can also ground all of your system’s components for a dramatic lowering of your system’s noise floor for greater detail, clarity, and musicality.
