ATLAS Alisa Duo OCC XLR balanced interconnect

Atlas Alisa XLR Duo Analogue Interconnect

The Atlas Alisa XLR Duo is a wide-bandwidth solid-core interconnect featuring Atlas' new 'Duo' independent dual-drain screen topology, a further refinement of the proven 'dd' dual-drain system.

Designed to maximise the performance of high-performance audio systems using XLR connectors, the Alisa XLR Duo features completely separate, independently-screened solid-core OCC copper conductors for the 'hot' (+) and 'cold' (-) connections, enhancing rejection of unwanted signal-degrading noise.

Solid-core conductors offer significant improvements over multi-strand conductors, with lower distortion and greater consistency in performance.

Key Features

• 'Duo' independent dual-drain screen topology.
• Solid-core OCC copper conductors for the 'hot' (+) and 'cold' (-) connections.
• Completely separate, independently-screened conductors for enhanced noise rejection.
• PEF dielectric.
• Precision-twisted assembly for increased rejection of RF and EM interference.
• Aluminium alloy 'Dark Chrome' XLR connectors.
• Silver-plated OCC copper pins made from the same grade of OCC copper as the conductors.
• Solder-free cold-weld connection for excellent signal continuity.
• Neutral, detailed but engaging presentation without artifice or exaggeration.

'Duo' Independent Dual-Drain Screening

The Alisa XLR Duo uses Atlas' 'Duo' independent dual-drain screen topology, a further refinement of the proven 'dd' dual-drain system.

Completely separate, independently-screened solid-core OCC copper conductors are used for the 'hot' (+) and 'cold' (-) connections, enhancing rejection of unwanted signal-degrading noise.

'Dark Chrome' XLR Connectors

Termination is with Atlas' aluminium alloy 'Dark Chrome' XLR connectors with silver-plated OCC copper pins. The pins use the same grade of OCC copper as the conductors.

Combined with Atlas' solder-free cold-weld connection method, this construction ensures excellent signal continuity.

RF and EM Interference Rejection

The Duo topology is combined with a precision-twisted assembly, further increasing rejection of RF and EM interference.

Atlas describes the result as offering clear, easily demonstrable performance gains, with elements of the coherence and tonal accuracy found in its High End Mavros and Arran products.

The latest generation Alisa reveals a neutral, detailed but engaging presentation without artifice or exaggeration, offering fresh insight into music both new and familiar.
