Overview

Synergistic Research Atmosphere SX USB Cable

Shopify Product Description

The Synergistic Research Atmosphere SX USB Cable brings advanced noise management and precision conductor engineering to high-end digital audio systems. Designed to connect music servers, streamers and computers to USB DACs, Atmosphere SX combines Copper Matrix conductors, Graphene-enhanced UEF shielding and direct-to-ground shield technology to address interference in digital audio connections.

Developed using technologies from Synergistic Research's flagship SRX cable series, Atmosphere SX USB is designed to deliver greater low-level detail, tonal accuracy and a more natural musical presentation. Its proprietary shielding architecture and extended high-voltage conditioning process are intended to minimize unwanted noise while preserving the clarity and dynamics of high-resolution digital playback.

 

Copper Matrix Conductors and Graphene UEF Shielding

Atmosphere SX USB features four 23-gauge solid copper conductors insulated with solid polyethylene dielectric. A dual silver Mylar and braided shield provides interference protection, while two proprietary UEF coatings containing Graphene are applied to the cable, connectors and ground system.

The UEF Matrix Shield incorporates strategically positioned Carbon Fibre Tuning Discs, developed specifically for the Atmosphere SX series. This shielding architecture is designed to address noise that Synergistic Research associates with harshness, reduced resolution and listening fatigue.

Direct-to-Ground Shield Technology

Unlike conventional USB cable shielding that directs interference toward connected components, Atmosphere SX USB incorporates Synergistic Research's UEF Ground Plane Technology.

Its shield can be connected to an optional Synergistic Research Ground Block or Active Ground Block, providing a dedicated grounding path. This arrangement is designed to reduce noise entering sensitive digital audio components and improve overall system performance.

SRX Long-Duration High-Voltage Conditioning

Every Atmosphere SX USB cable undergoes Synergistic Research's proprietary SRX conditioning process, which applies high-voltage pulses at selected frequencies over an extended period.

The cable also receives a secondary UEF Blue Treatment originally developed for the company's SR Blue Fuses. Following assembly, each cable completes a five-day, two-stage burn-in process before leaving the California factory.
