Atmosphere SX Reference USB

Perfection refined.

Atmosphere SX Reference USB is packed with SRX Tech and is voiced to deliver natural musicality, so you enjoy extended listening sessions, even when streaming on Tidal and Qbuz, with enhanced resolution, soundstage scale, and realism. To this end, our highest-performance Atmosphere SX Reference USB cable comes equipped with a Ground Plane running from end to end plus a UEF Matrix Shield, both of which can be tied directly to a wall ground for the lowest noise floor possible. And to make the Atmosphere Reference USB cable bespoke to your system, we include Silver and Gold SRX Tuning Circuits. Listen to one at a time, first Gold, then Silver, attached to your USB cable, and select the option that makes music in your system. Silver has the most air and the more focused presentation, while Gold sounds warmer with a more liquid soundfield. The choice is yours, and when you select, you’ve created a USB cable perfectly balanced to your stereo.

Atmosphere X cables are treated with a new proprietary process first developed for our amazing BLUE Fuses and this makes them more musical with enhanced detail and dynamics. Break in is also faster and more linear than before so you can enjoy your new cables straight from the box as they break in with higher levels of performance the longer they remain in your system. We also treat them with high voltage from our large Tesla Coil that generates a bolt of pure electrons with a specially developed signal and amplitude that massively improves your cables ability to transmit signal. Together these processes help your cables communicate the largest sound field possible, with dynamics and accurate detail.

Shown with optional Active Ground Block attached for even higher level of performance.

Atmosphere X Graphene Shielding

Transparency, one atom thick now with a new twist.

Learn more

Synergistic Research is the World’s first cable company to incorporate Graphene, a new highly conductive wonder material that consists of a layer of pure carbon a single atom thick. Atmosphere takes our Graphene Shielding to a new level by applying it in a matrix or specially developed pattern that was found in double blind testing to exhibit enhanced musicality where higher levels of detail are coveyed with zero listener fatigue and greater emotional envolvement. Graphene facts: one of the many reasons Graphene is so exciting is that it is a near superconductor at room temperature. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with almost no resistance when cooled to extremely low temperatures ranging from near absolute zero (-459.67°F or -273.15°C) to the temperature of liquid nitrogen (-140.8°F or -96°C). With Graphene you get near superconductor performance without the deep freeze.

Red and Blue Tuning Bullets

Preference is key.

Learn more about Tuning Modules

UEF Tuning Modules are connected to Atmosphere Level 4 cable shields and work outside the signal path to contour the sound of your cables by changing the way your cables resonate. By altering the relationship between signal and ground resonance you take control of the sonic balance of your cables and in the process, the overall sound of your system.

Atmosphere Level 4 Interconnects come with a Red and Blue Tuning Module.

RED Tuning Module’s Sonic Characteristics:

  • Warmth
  • Liquidity
  • Musicality

BLUE Tuning Module’s Sonic Characteristics:

  • Refinement
  • Detail
  • Focus

Atmosphere X Reference USB Build Notes:

 

4 each Copper Matrix conductors:

  • 23 gauge solid copper conductors
  • Dielectric: Solid Polyethylene
  • Shielding: Duel Silver Mylar / Braid shield-Quantum Tunneled Ground Plane Technology
  • Listened for signal direction before build
  • Hand crafted in our California factory

 Build Notes:

  • Atmosphere X 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 (Red and Blue)
  • Hand build time: 2.5 hours
  • 5 day Burn-in: 2 step process
  • Hand crafted in our California factory

SR Ground Block (optional):

Atmosphere X USB cables have shields that can be grounded direct to earth with supplied ground cables bypassing your component’s power supplies for a lower system noise floor.
  • To improve performance further still use an optional SR Ground Block with its UEF Ground Filter to elevate overall system performance; not only can you star ground and UEF filter the shields on all Synergistic Research interconnects and speaker cables equiped for star grounding in your system, but can also ground all of your system’s components to the standard or Active Ground Block for a dramatic lowering of your system’s noise floor for enhanced detail, clarity and musicality.
