Atlas Arran Assist Ultra Tonearm Cable
Based on our highly regarded Arran Ultra L interconnect, this Arran Ultra RCA Phono/Turntable is an extremely low-noise cable specifically designed for the very low signal output levels of ‘high-end’ phono cartridges.
By achieving maximum signal transfer with minimum susceptibility to the spurious RF and EM interference which pervade our homes, the Arran Ultra RCA Turntable presents an extremely low background noise floor, allowing maximum expression of dynamics, depth and subtlety.
What were the main factors we were trying to overcome?
✓ Distortion of the super delicate phono signal
✓ Unpredictable nature of the cables RFI performance
✓ Isolation between channels
✓ bandwidth limitation
Atlas wanted to design a tone arm cable with a more efficient, wider bandwidth and deliver a more open and accurate sound. RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) is a major factor in cable design, especially now with the amount of ambient electrical wireless signals present in the majority of homes. To combat RFI, a metallic barrier (or braid) is encased around the insulated conductors and terminated at one end. Each channel (twisted pair) is individually wrapped in Al Mylar and then encased in a tightly woven copper screen. Both channels are independent of each other, increasing stereo separation and depth of image.
