ATM CABLES

These cables are designed to provide the best mechanical and electrical
properties available in any cable, at any price. The range leads with the well
established SJTC signal multicore, and purpose-built SPL speaker cable, plus
mic and instrument cables and new Low Smoke Zero Halogen multimode
fibre optic cables.

SJTC and UNI Individually Jacketed Multicore

The multicore jackets are formed with precise, talc lined ridges that cradle
the cores in formation yet allow them to slide against one another. This
makes the cable very flexible, but resists twisting and knots. The arctic
grade polymer remains flexible down to -30°C, keeping it easy to use on
even the coldest of nights, and it also absorbs impacts and slips over
rough surfaces and edges without abrasion. Core numbers are printed every
20mm, and overall diameters are designed to fit industry standard
connectors. The UNI range is equally suitable for digital and analogue
signals

SPL Series Speaker Cable

This is a purpose built OFC speaker

cable with a jacket designed for long
lasting professional use. The wall
thickness and elasticity gives protection
from knocks and scrapes on the road,
and the stranding is optimised for
flexibility and and HF conductivity, but
not too fine for reliable termination. SPL
cables match perfectly with Neutrik and
EP type connectors.

Available in 2 core 1.5 and 2.5mm (total

diameter 6mm), 4 core 2.5mm (total
diameter 8.5mm) and 4mm (total
diameter 10.7mm), and 8 core 2.5mm
(total 15.5mm).

Microphone Cable

The ATM road-proof mic cable is flexible, noiseless and very rugged. The
thick composite sheath shrugs off rough use, and cotton fillers eliminate
microphony. It's exceptionally low capacitance, generous copper content,
and a lapp screen all add up to transparent performance. Available in Black,
Blue, Green, Red and Yellow.

TECHNOLOGY.

The secret of noiseless microphone cable is to combat both electromagnetic

interference and mechanical vibration (microphony). ATM uses a twist
technique and high grade lapp shield to reject electro-magnetic
interference. The outer jacket material is chosen for resilience and pliability
but also has vibration absorbing properties. Internal cotton fillers further
reduce microphony. These features combine to give ATM accurate, noise
free signal path performance.

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

ATM twin conductors are neatly packed together. The pairs are orbitally
spun round each other rather than twisted together. This reduces stress
and holds conductors in ‘natural’ formation, further enhancing electrical
consistency and noise rejection. Pliability and rigidity are optimised for
flexing without distortion to the internal build of the cable, and so without
compromise to its characteristic impedance. This helps maintain the
common mode rejection properties of the equipment to which it is
connected.

The combination of shield and conductor stranding and elastomer

compounds help maintain a balance of strength and flexibility. The 6.4mm
outer jacket diameter makes ATM suitable as a durable live, studio and
installation cable or as a heavy-duty patch
cable. It fits snugly into all the usual XLR
connectors.

Starquad Cable

This star configuration of ATM mic cable

offers excellent noise rejection whilst the
lapped screening provides a very effective
barrier against radio frequency interference.
Colours are Black, Red and Blue
Patch Cable

Patch cable has all the benefits of the

microphone cable in a four mm jacket, and fits
snugly into bantam plugs. Available in black,
blue, green, orange, red, purple, turquoise and
white.

Digi-Series

The aim of digital interconnection is to match

sending and receiving equipment and to
minimise high frequency signal loss which can
"round off" rising edges of the digital signal - resulting in corrupt data.
When impedances don't match, the signal effectively gets reflected in the
cable causing corruption and timing errors.

The Digi series are true 110 ohm impedance

AES-EBU digital Audio cables, available as
single pair installation, microphone and
multicore formats. The resistance is reliably consistent, and the low
capacitance is due to the special polymer sheath. Core to core capacitance
is < 85pf/m, conductor to screen is <130pf/m.

Note: Use 75 Ohm BNC connectors for SPDIF.

Don't mix 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm as this
damages the BNC sockets!
