Synergistic Research Atmosphere SX Reference Ethernet Cable

Synergistic Research Atmosphere SX Reference Ethernet Cable

Atmosphere SX Reference Ethernet is the step-up version of Atmosphere SX Ethernet, built on the same 8x UEF CAT 7 conductor design but with a higher tier of UEF Matrix Shield with Graphene for a lower noise floor and greater resolution. Reference Ethernet ships standard with Gold and Silver Atmosphere SX Tuning Bullets, letting you voice the cable toward precise detail and air (Silver) or warmth and liquidity (Gold) to match your system and source, whether streaming or local playback. Every cable is treated with the SRX Three-Stage 1,000,000-volt Quantum Treatment process, and its shield can be connected to an optional Synergistic Research Ground Block or Active Ground Block for a further reduction in system noise floor. As an authorized Synergistic Research dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you match this Ethernet cable to your streamer or network setup.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to the standard Atmosphere SX Ethernet?
Atmosphere SX Ethernet uses a Level 2 UEF Matrix Shield and does not include tuning modules. Reference Ethernet steps up to a Level 4 shield and ships standard with Gold and Silver Atmosphere SX Tuning Modules for system-matching flexibility.

Where does Reference Ethernet sit in the Synergistic Research Ethernet lineup?
It sits above Foundation SX, Foundation XL, and Atmosphere SX Ethernet, and below the flagship Galileo Discovery Ethernet, which adds a 3rd Generation Galileo Discovery Filter Cell.

Can I ground this cable's shield to a Ground Block?
Yes. Reference Ethernet's shield can be connected to an optional SR Ground Block or Active Ground Block for a further reduction in your system's noise floor.
