The Atlas Navigator All Cu (all copper) uses deletion free
OCC for both the going and the return conductors and employs
a PTFE dielectric together with a cotton yarn filler in order
to reduce microphony. 100% rejection of radio frequency interference
(RFI) is provided by an OCC braid and a copper mylar shield.
The Navigator is a superior design that may be used for fully
balanced systems with XLR plugs or as in the case of this
cable, in a pseudo balanced fashion with the Atlas patented
OCC copper RCA plug. The copper plug that's cold welded or
crimped on to the conductors with an air tight seal, avoids
the use of solder. Solder presents an unecessary barrier to
the signal and at Atlas we believe the finest qualities result
from the removal of barriers to the signal such as the use
of solder or materials of differing characteristics from the
signal carrying conductors, hence the OCC or All Cu plug;
it provides more deletion free information. The Navigator
together with the Atlas Voyager and the Atlas Compass are
the first three interconnects in the range of Atlas super
interconnects for high quality systems. The Navigator sounds
analogue like in it's presentation, giving lots of stereo
width, height and depth with an air around the instruments
and an ambience. For those looking for a sophisticated and
relaxed sound the Navigator is the interconnect to buy.
Try the Navigator All Cu together with the following speaker
cables: Atlas Ascent 2.0, Atlas Ascent 3.50 or for bi wiring,
the Atlas Ichor.
