The British company Atlas Cables LTD has released another model of Achromatic cables – this time acoustic. The new product was named Ailsa and is designed to complement the Atlas interconnect cables that appeared under the same name last year.

According to Kevin Kelly, managing director of Atlas Cables, “Ailsa’s speaker cable bridges the gap between the Hyper and Mavros line.” Atlas noted that the Ailsa Achromatic speaker cable was designed from the ground up, using technology from the more upscale Mavros line. The cable is designed for use in medium and high-end systems.

Atlas Cables Ailsa Achromatic includes two stranded OCC copper conductors with a diameter of 3mm. Each is surrounded by an SSG insulating layer, which provides an ultra-stabilized conductor geometry through an extruded outer layer. A microporous PTFE dielectric was used in the insulation.

The resulting two insulated conductors are padded with anti-vibration cotton filler and encased in a glossy gray round sheath. The Atlas Cables Ailsa Achromatic is available with two types of Achromatic connectors: banana or S (flat connectors).
