EVO3 OPTIMUM

At the Optimum’s core are three silver plated Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) copper conductors, with each conductor strand being of a square configuration for tighter bunching. The OCC offers a vastly superior level of purity with outstanding electrical conductivity, improved flexibility, resistance to fatigue and corrosion.

A high quality FEP provides a very low dielectric constant over a wide frequency range. The three conductors are given a slight rotational twist to aid RFI and EMI rejection, and are then surrounded by a cotton filler which give internal strength and reduce microphony. The whole construction is enclosed in a Mylar wrap to provide an additional dielectric buffer, before applying an active OFC shield for maximum rejection of high frequency interference. A durable PVC outer jacket gives a high degree of flexibility and mechanical strength.

FEATURES

CONSTRUCTION: The conductors are in a parallel configuration with a slight rotational twist. This established technique remains the first line of defence against RFI and EMI rejection.

A) Conductors: 3.0sqmm silver-plated Ohno Continuous Cast copper conductors offer a vastly superior level of purity compared with traditional OFC. Each conductor strand is of an innovative square-shaped configuration. The geometry and metallurgy used in this construction offers superb performance with extremely impressive electrical conductivity.

B) Dielectric: Teflon FEP dielectric (insulation) is chemically inert and has a very low dielectric constant over a wide frequency range. FEP possesses a very high degree of stress crack resistance and a low coefficient of friction making it an exceptional dielectric. FEP is the first choice for safety in both temperature and electrical insulation.

C) Filler: Cotton filler has been used to give the cable internal strength and reduce microphony. Cotton also possesses excellent dielectric properties, the best of any solid material.

D) Wrap: A Mylar wrap is used to secure the construction and offer a barrier shield prior to the application of a flexible PVC jacket. The addition of the Mylar and cotton form a buffer with the PVC so as to maintain exceptional dielectric properties.

E) Shield: An earthed OFC shield insures maximum RFI rejection, thus preventing common mode noise affecting the live and neutral conductors.

F) Jacket: PVC is used as an outer jacket to give a high degree of flexibility and mechanical strength.

TERMINATION: The Optimum cable is terminated using IsoTek’s bespoke audiophile-grade connectors of solid OFC with 24ct gold-plated conductors. These offer the highest quality performance and are less prone to tarnish.

DESCRIPTION

The Mavros Ultra RCA uses the very highest quality ‘6N’ (99.99997% purity) copper manufactured using the OCC ‘Ohno Continuous Cast’ technique. Cables manufactured with lower grade materials and poor manufacture typically have a coarse, grainy structure which compromises sound quality. In the manufacture of Mavros, Atlas maximise the copper’s conductivity by ensuring that there is typically one grain in approximately 125 metres of conductor, allowing the signal a continuous unbroken path –in practice, the signal has a faster, cleaner and more direct path to follow.

The tonearm is made from stainless steel and brass (polished to a high gloss). The bearing arm is suspended in a magnetic field, providing maximum isolation from the rest of the turntable and eliminating any friction elements. The inertia of this arm is very large.

Centripetal force in such arms is overcome by adjusting the weight. The mechanism has been designed to precisely adjust the strength to overcomes skating. By appropriate adjustment we get variable strength at the beginning and the end of the plate, allowing the needle to run freely and without distortion at any position on the disc.

Purpose-built to reproduce powerful low-frequency events with stunning impact and precision, the Dominion™ driver employs JL Audio’s exclusive DMA (Dynamic Motor Analysis) technology to produce higher output levels with reduced distortion, as well as improved dynamic tracking and resolution. As a result, Dominion™ subwoofers are capable of peak-to-peak excursions well in excess of 2.5-inches (63 mm – d108), and 2.7 inches (68 mm – d110), without distress or audible distortion.

Dominion™ amplifiers utilize an advanced Class D design in order to extract the most from the long-excursion driver platform. This design features a tightly regulated switching power supply, allowing the amplifier to generate prodigious amounts of unclipped output voltages. These technologies ensure that the Dominion™ powered subwoofers remain in their comfort zone, which is well beyond the point where most small subwoofers run out of power or driver capability.

With a host of signal processing features included, Dominion™ powered subwoofers can be integrated into most systems with ease. Low-pass signals are precisely guided, thanks to the onboard crossover’s 24 dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley alignment. Phase and polarity controls are onboard to aid in achieving the optimal acoustic transition between the subwoofer(s) and main speakers. Flexible input options are on-hand to accept either line-level or speaker-level signals. Connect a JLINK™ TRX system (sold separately) to the onboard Wireless Link port and enjoy the freedom to position your Dominion™ almost anywhere, up to 100 feet (30 meters) away from your source unit.

To contain the immense pressures created by the Dominion™ driver, each beautiful cabinet is carefully engineered and constructed using solid, CNC-cut, MDF material with extensive internal bracing and advanced assembly techniques. All Dominion™ powered subwoofers are built with pride and precision in JL Audio’s U.S. factory to deliver years of listening enjoyment.

DESCRIPTION

The Mavros XLR uses the very highest quality ‘6N’ (99.99997% purity) copper manufactured using the OCC ‘Ohno Continuous Cast’ technique. Cables manufactured with lower grade materials and poor manufacture typically have a coarse, grainy structure which compromises sound quality. In the manufacture of Mavros, Atlas maximise the copper’s conductivity by ensuring that there is typically one grain in approximately 125 metres of conductor, allowing the signal a continuous unbroken path –in practice, the signal has a faster, cleaner and more direct path to follow.

Atlas XLR plugs are wired as follows by default: Pin 1 = Ground; Pin 2 = Hot, Pin 3 = Cold

DESCRIPTION

The A 2 headphone amplifier is used to operate a maximum of two headphones. As the two headphone outputs are connected in parallel, the connected headphones should have the same nominal impedance between 16 and 600 ohms.

The functions of the A 2 can be selected on the device itself or via the supplied infrared remote control. Furthermore, the headphone can temporarily be muted via the remote control.

The components inside the device are illuminated in a warm orange glow and can be seen through a transparent cover, which is made of a special ceramic printed glass with wave-shaped windows. The special circuit design features an amazingly natural and brilliant sound reproduction with an excellent resolution and spatiality. Discrete components are exclusively used as audio components. They may be bigger and require more room, but they work more precisely and reliably.

The volume control is made of solid aluminium with a high-grade motor-controlled ALPS potentiometer inside, which allows setting the volume via remote control. The selectable output impedance ensures an ideal control range of the volume potentiometer for all headphones no matter if they have a low or high impedance. With the selectable gain the A 2 can optimally be adjusted to the connected audio source.

Due to a microprocessor-controlled intelligent relay, unpleasant cracking noise is avoided when turning the A 2 on-off or when changing the audio source.

The gold-plated RCA connections on the rear allow the connection of audio sources and provide a signal transmission without loss. One input is passively connected with the line output of the A 2 to loop through incoming signals even when the A 2 is in standby mode. In this case the A 2 has only to be powered up if you want to listen to your music using your headphones. Two buttons to select the signal source are backlit in orange to indicate which signal input is currently active.

The supplied headphone stand can be mounted to the bottom of the A 2 for storing the headphone.

The selectable supply voltage of 110 - 120 V or 220 - 240 V allows the device to be used worldwide.

FEATURES

• Discrete design of the integrated audio components
• Two 1/4" stereo headphone sockets (6.35mm) connected in parallel
• Volume control for both headphone outputs via motor-controlled high-quality ALPS potentiometer
• Backlit standby button (red/green)
• Two stereo inputs for two signal sources (RCA phono), one of them is looped-through to connect signal sources with high levels (CD player, DVD player) and amplifiers
• Two buttons, backlit in orange, to select the signal source • Stereo output (RCA phono)
• Selectable gain (0 dB, -4 dB, +6 dB) and output impedance (0 Ω, 100 Ω)

Apart from the fifth solid hardwood leg that gives it its name, the Podium XL (V) rack shares most of its other features with the Podium XL rack, including its sturdy 40mm solid oak plinths. However, it's available in larger sizes than the XL, making it the biggest standard-sized rack that we produce.

Earning a 5-star review in What Hi Fi? November 2012 edition, the Podium XL was praised on its ability to ‘convey oodles of weight, and plenty and refinement too’. The Podium XL is a great choice for those wanting to highlight their hi-fi components, and with the optional TV Bracket you can mount your TV too so that all your technology sits together in your room.

As with our other Podium racks, it can be easily adapted and upgrade as your system grows and changes. Made from 40mm solid hardwoods and 46mm2 hardwood legs, this rack also provides the same stiffness and stability that Hi Fi Racks prides itself on.

Construction

40mm hardwood staves are used for each tier providing stiffness and stability, adding to the Hi Fi Racks density as well as absorbing vibration. Each board is bonded concave and convex adding to the board’s rigidity. The Hi Fi stand comes with 46mm² solid hardwood legs which are removable and can be made to any length, this allows the hi-fi rack to fit around your system, giving adequate space for heat and means you can keep adapting and upgrading your rack with longer legs if you change equipment changes.

Modular

As with all our stands, you can add or remove levels and change leg heights to modify and upgrade your unit as your system grows and changes.
