Atlas Zeno 3.5mm to 3.5mm Headphone Cable
Atlas Zeno 3.5mm to 3.5mm Headphone Cable
Our Zeno headphone cables are designed to offer a significant upgrade over the cables bundled with even very expensive headphones. Zeno can be configured with 1:1 (cable plugs into one earpiece, typically as used by AKG, B&W, Oppo and Sennheiser) or 1:2 (cable plugs into both earpieces, as used by Audeze, HiFiMan, Oppo, Sennheiser and Ultrasone) connectors.
High performance cables for ‘high-end’ headphones.
‘High-end’ headphones are growing in popularity at an extraordinary rate, but many users quickly come to realise that the original cables supplied with many models tend to be of average quality, not very durable and are supplied in typically quite short lengths.Our Zeno cables are a high performance OCC copper replacement cable for dynamic headphones (not electrostatics) from most audiophile brands. If you don’t see your brand listed, please contact us, we may be able to help. Because Atlas design & manufacture in-house, we can accept most custom build requests.To achieve our design and performance goals for Zeno, we employed our proven cold-weld solder-free construction methods, the objective being to produce a signal path with the minimum of the breaks in continuity which degrade fidelity. Staying true to our design principles meant designing a new family of low-mass, wide bandwidth connectors. These Metik connectors are available in 2.5, 3.5mm & 6.3mm jack plugs plus a 4 pin XLR version in our ‘dark chrome’ finish.Standard lengths available are from 1.5–4m in 0.5m increments, with custom lengths available on request.
Custom Options
While our ‘standard’ connector options suit popular makes/models, we know there are numerous headphones out there with unusual or unique connector configurations, eg. HiFiMan HE500, Mr Speakers Alpha Dog & Sennheiser HD800, Because we manufacture Zeno cables in the UK, we’re confident we can build you a superb cable whatever your amp/headphone requirements, so get in touch.
Metik Jack Plug/XLR
The Metik is a low-mass, non-compression, constant impedance, solder-free construction jack plug, available in 2.5, 3.5 & 6mm sizes. Zeno cables can also be configured with 3 or 4 pin XLR connectors.
FEP
FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) has a big advantage over PTFE in that it can be applied to sophisticated conductors at lower temperatures, preserving the integrity of the base material.
Twin Co-ax
Central conductor (signal path) surrounded by dielectric material encased within a circular conducting screen which acts as the signal return path.
OCC Copper
OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) process was developed by Professor Ohno, from the Chiba Institute of Technology, to manufacture a very high purity single grain copper or silver. There are only a handful of companies in the world manufacturing via this method.
