Synergistic Research Atmosphere SX IFT Jumpers (Set of 4)

Synergistic Research Atmosphere SX IFT Jumpers

IFT (Integrated Frequency Termination) is Synergistic Research's alternative to traditional bi-wire jumpers. Standard bi-wiring splits a speaker's high- and low-frequency binding posts into two separate cable runs — a workaround dating back to the 1970s, when cables were basic unshielded copper with poor dielectrics. Synergistic Research states that keeping two parallel cable runs in perfect phase alignment across the full frequency spectrum is difficult, and that splitting the signal this way introduces phase distortion that affects spatial cues, holography, image placement, bass control, and high-frequency extension. IFT Jumpers instead carry the full frequency spectrum through a single, unified cable geometry rather than splitting it across separate runs, intended to preserve phase alignment, speed, and PRAT (pace, rhythm, and timing) that conventional bi-wire jumpers can compromise. As an authorized Synergistic Research dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you determine if your speakers and cable setup would benefit from IFT Jumpers over conventional bi-wire jumpers.

Key Concept

• Alternative to traditional bi-wire jumpers, designed to avoid phase distortion from splitting signal across two separate cable runs
• Carries the full frequency spectrum through one unified cable geometry, rather than separating high- and low-frequency paths
• Compatible with Atmosphere SX speaker cables including Excite SX and Euphoria SX

Atmosphere SX IFT Jumpers FAQ

Do I need IFT Jumpers if my speakers support bi-wiring?
Only if you want to bi-wire — IFT Jumpers are Synergistic Research's alternative to a conventional bi-wire jumper pair, designed to avoid the phase-alignment issues the company associates with splitting a signal into separate high/low-frequency cable runs.

Will these work with any Atmosphere SX speaker cable?
IFT Jumpers are designed to pair with Synergistic Research's Atmosphere SX line, including Excite SX and Euphoria SX.
