Product Details
Synergistic Research Atmosphere SX USB Cable
Atmosphere SX USB is built around a Copper Matrix conductor design with Synergistic Research's UEF Matrix Shield with Graphene, developed to lower the cable's noise floor while preserving low-level detail and tonal accuracy. Unlike shields that pass noise to component ground, Atmosphere SX USB uses a direct-to-ground shield for a lower noise floor. Every cable is treated with the SRX Long Duration High Voltage conditioning process, the same protocol Synergistic Research developed for its cost-no-object SRX cable loom. Available in multiple USB connector types, and its shield can be connected to an optional Synergistic Research Ground Block or Active Ground Block to further lower system noise floor. As an authorized Synergistic Research dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you match this USB cable to your DAC and source.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Atmosphere SX USB sit in the Synergistic Research USB lineup?
It sits above the Foundation SX and Foundation XL USB cables, adding a higher shielding tier and the SRX Three-Stage Quantum Treatment process. Above Atmosphere SX is Atmosphere SX Reference USB, which adds Galileo SX Gold and Silver Tuning Modules and a higher shielding tier, followed by the flagship Galileo Discovery USB.
Can I ground this cable's shield to a Ground Block?
Yes. Atmosphere SX USB's shield can be connected to an optional SR Ground Block or Active Ground Block to further lower your system's noise floor.
