Let’s stay connected, shall we? In this case, though, we’re going to insist that we do so with some cabling involved. Thus, we felt it was high time to check in with Scottish manufacturer Atlas to see if they could help us out with this idea — and, whaddya know, they’ve just released four new cable and interconnect offerings in various lengths and quite reasonable price ranges that should fit the bill. Let’s tackle them one by one.

First up is the Atlas Eos Superior 2.5em power cable (seen above), which is said to have been engineered for “today’s increasingly noisy mains environments. Wireless networks, Bluetooth devices, and spread-spectrum systems can raise background noise levels, and Atlas has focused on enhanced screening and low-resistance design to address this.”

The 2.5em cable employs 2.5mm² oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors for large current handling, combined with stratified RF screening — and it also boasts carbon-loaded and woven metallic layers. Dual-drain termination delivers rapid earth discharge for induced RF, which is intended to help maintain a low noise floor. Meanwhile, mechanical damping and stable dielectrics are used to minimize vibration-related artifacts.

The Eos Superior 2.5em cable comes with multiple termination options: UK 13A, Schuko, NEMA, and Aus/NZ plugs, with IEC C15 and C19 device ends. A hand-stitched titanium fabric finish is standard, with Luxe finishes available at an additional cost.

Next up, the Atlas Hyper Duo XLR interconnects (seen above) introduce the company’s newly dubbed Duo symmetrical topology into their Aspire-level range. Both hot and cold conductors are individually screened with woven OFC shielding and twisted in a precision lay, and are said to have been designed to improve rejection of electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Atlas notes that this configuration is intended to provide “stronger common-mode noise rejection,” with the balanced architecture avoiding the need for an external grounding system. The conductors are paired with a wideband foamed polyethylene dielectric for signal speed, while connections are cold-welded using OFC pins for airtight integrity.

The Hyper Duo XLR interconnects are finished in dark fabric with dark chrome plugs, and they’re available in lengths from 0.5m to 3.0m. (Pricing for each length is provided at the end of this post.)

Also now residing at the Aspire level, the Atlas Ailsa Duo interconnects (seen below) bring the Duo symmetrical conductor layout to both Ultra L RCA and Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) XLR terminations. Each conductor, hot and cold, is independently screened with woven OFC shielding, with both screens grounded externally via the Atlas Grun system for broadband noise removal.

The Ailsa Duo utilizes solid-core OCC copper conductors with a wideband foamed polyethylene dielectric. Precision twisting is applied to the conductor pair in order to reduce EMI effects, as well as preserve timing and detail.

The Duo finish is a titanium-grey fabric sleeve with dark chrome hardware. Standard lengths range from 0.5m to 3.0m, with custom options available on request. (Atlas contact info is provided at the end of this post.)

Last but not exactly least, the Atlas Zeno Seraphic is an upgrade-level headphone cable designed to deliver improved detail retrieval while reducing handling noise. It is offered an aftermarket option for premium headphones, a number of which are supplied with, quote, “basic” cables.

The Zeno Seraphic (seen above) uses OCC copper conductors and a wideband FEP dielectric, housed in a soft PVC inner liner and fabric jacket. Terminations also cover both portable and desktop applications, including Metik 3.5mm TRS, balanced TRRS (2.5mm, 3.5mm, 4.4mm), MMCX, 2.5mm mono, 3.5mm mono, and 4-pin mini-XLR.

Atlas notes that the Zeno Seraphic phones’ mechanically silent construction “aims to prevent noise transfer from handling.” The cable is assembled in Scotland, and it comes with a five-year warranty.

Finally, the SRPs for all four of these spiffy new Atlas cable and interconnect offerings — which were just made available in September 2025 — are outlined as follows for each respective length option (VAT included): Atlas Eos Superior 2.5em power cable. 1.0m: £1,510; 1.5m: £1,580; 2.0m: £1,650; 3.0m £1,790
Atlas Hyper Duo XLR interconnects. 0.5m: £755; 0.75m: £825; 1.0m: £895; 1.5m: £1,035; 2.0m: £1,175; 3.0m: £1,455
Atlas Ailsa Duo Ultra L RCA and OCC XLR interconnects. 0.5m: £1,510; 0.75m: £1,580; 1.0m: £1,650; 1.5m: £1,790; 2.0m: £1,930; 3.0m: £2,210
Atlas Zeno Seraphic headphone cable. 1.0m: £395; 1.5m: £420; 2.0m: £445
