Synergistic Research Alive SX – Atmosphere SX Series AC Power Cables Synergistic Research

The Atmosphere Alive SX AC Power Cable is the highest performance non-Active power cord in SR history, upgraded with a new High Voltage Long Duration conditioning process first developed for our flagship SRX cable loom; the same conditioning process that makes our exceptional Purple Fuses possible. And bespoke to Atmosphere SX are new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs placed strategically within the power cord for enhanced detail and musicality. To make Alive SX sound as natural as possible, we employ strategic use of pure copper, tungsten, and a Silver Matrix Alloy, so three different metals, each chosen for a combined balance that sounds natural and musical. 

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.

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.

Build Notes:

• 12 point-to-point hand soldered connections
• Atmosphere SX UEF Level 2 Matrix Treatment: 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. Dampening of the cable is also provided and the ultimate performance of the component is enhanced producing more warmth and detail
• Silver Solder: 4%
• Hand build time: 2 hours
• SRX Long Duration Quantum Tunneling: 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 a higher amount of low level information through the conductors and provides for the greater amount of realism in your music
• Secondary UEF Blue Treatment originally developed for SR Blue Fuses
• 5 day Burn-in: 2 step process
• Hand crafted in our California factory
