Atlas Hyper 2.0
5 Years
New
The Atlas Hyper 2.0 Speaker Cable offers unparalleled performance for its price, featuring high-purity OFC conductors and advanced PTFE dielectric. Ideal for extended listening, this 2.0mm² cable enhances bass performance and reveals the full potential of your audio system without causing listener fatigue.
Atlas Hyper 2.0 Speaker Cable - Custom Length
Atlas Hyper 2.0 speaker cables are engineered with neutrality, speed and a wide dynamic range as primary design objectives. The Hyper 2.0 is a superb cable ideally suited for continuous listening over a prolonged period without causing listener fatigue.
Hyper 2.0 speaker cables feature very high purity (99.9999%) OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) 2.0mm² conductors with advanced PTFE (Teflon™) dielectric. It’s a combination most unusual at this price point, and it means the cable offers an exceptional performance which is well suited to considerably more expensive systems than its price tag might suggest.
The increased diameter conductors on the Hyper 2.0 offer improved bass performance over the 1.5 version. The conductor quality and high-efficiency dielectric allow Hyper to reveal more of the performance level your equipment is capable of, being fast and dynamic without suffering the ruthlessly analytical character sometimes mistaken for additional ‘detail,’ which is ultimately fatiguing.

Atlas Gold Plated Z Plugs
The Atlas Z plug has stood the test of time. Using beryllium copper for the contact area, It's designed to make a 100% contact within the 4mm female socket. The body is made from copper, and it's available for home assembly with grub screws to make contact with the conductors. When factory-fitted or fitted by an Atlas-appointed custom cable centre, they're cold welded under pressure to amalgamate the conductors to the plug in an air-tight seal. The outer sleeve is finished in black coloured ABS or in a turned brass with a fine oven-applied powder coat finish. The Atlas Z plug is justifiably considered to be one of the best 4mm plugs available.
- Low resistance
- High conductivity
- 80% copper with beryllium 4mm section giving 100% contact
- Corrosion resistant
- Accepts conductors up to 5mm in diameter
- Solder-free for a cold weld air-tight interface between the plug and conductor or grub screw contact for DIY enthusiasts.
Atlas Achromatic Z Plugs
Atlas’s expert electro-mechanical knowledge has led to the innovation of the next generation of banana plugs known as the ‘Atlas Achromatic Z Plug’, Atlas has focused on improving performance to create a higher performance starting point for their speaker cables as well as eliminating variability in performance. This has been achieved by refocusing on materials and the assembly processes.
Atlas has made 4 key changes with the Achromatic Z plug. Firstly, the barrel of the Achromatic Z plug features a high stability ABS material. This is strong, stable and of superlative surface quality.
In addition, there is also an improvement to the plug's contact resistance achieved by improving the compliance of the beryllium copper contact leaves featured on the Achromatic Z plug. Beryllium copper offers excellent conductivity of signals.
The third change was to upgrade the manufacturability of the plug for pneumatic tool processing.
Finally, there is a reduction in the overall mass of the Z-Plug by 35%, which has been shown to improve signal transmission.
The above changes mean a solder-free, low mass, self-cleaning, recyclable Z-plug with a non-conductive body.
Oxygen Free Copper (OFC)
OFC is produced through an extrusion process which takes place in an oxygen-free-inert-gas atmosphere. This leads to a reduced oxygen content (10 ppm) when compared to Tough Pitch Copper (TPC) and an improvement in conductivity which typically measures in at between 0.5% and 2% greater than TPC. The OFC process therefore produces a much higher quality audio cable than the TPC process. High purity conductors sound clearer than their unprocessed (TPC) counterparts because there are fewer crystal boundaries present to cause signal degradation.

PTFE Dielectric
PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) is cheap to produce and, as such, is the most commonly used insulation in AV cables. However, PVC is the worst quality insulation a Hi-Fi or AV signal can encounter as its high loss causes a significant reduction in signal velocity. PVC is better suited to power cables and should be avoided in Hi-Fi and AV signal cables.
Other dielectrics in common use are Polyethylene, Polypropylene and Polytetrafluoride Epoxy (better known as PTFE (Teflon™) or Teflon,) and the new and unique Atlas (PTFE).
PTFE (Teflon™) is usually applied at higher temperatures and in combination with OFC conductors. OCC materials don’t like high temperatures (soldering, applying the dielectric etc) so application of a low temperature PTFE (Teflon™) or FEP work best with OCC conductors. This is especially critical at smaller conductor sizes.
The table below shows the properties of a selection of dielectrics. Though not used as a dielectric in Atlas' cables, PVC is included for comparison purposes.

Termination
This cable is custom-made according to customer's specific requirements as selected by the various dropdown options above. Future Shop can terminate your speaker cable using the Atlas Achromatic Z Plugs (Banana/BFA), the Atlas’ Gold Plated 4mm banana/BFA Z-Plugs or gold-plated spade Plugs. Cables are professionally terminated using a cold-weld method by Future Shop's engineers and guaranteed for ten years. The plugs are put on using a cold weld method with an official tool supplied by Atlas. Cold-welding does not involve solder, which means the plug is crimped around the conductors at 360 degrees' under very high pressure to form an air-tight seal, which prevents the conductors from oxidising. This forms a better contact than soldering. Furthermore, the conductor is in full contact with the plug, which is in 360-degree contact with the binding post of your equipment, which means the signal flow is maximised from the cable into your equipment.
How to Order
Ordering your cable from Future Shop is simple. Follow these simple steps to customise and secure your purchase:
- Length Selection: Begin by selecting the desired length of your cable from the dropdown menu provided. Choose the appropriate measurement that suits your specific setup requirements.
- Plug Selection: Next, specify the type of plugs you need for both the 'Amplifier end' and the 'Speaker end' of the cable. Select the plugs that best match your equipment and connectivity preferences from the dropdown menus.
- Burn-In Time: If you prefer your cable to undergo a burn-in process for optimal performance, indicate the desired duration from the dropdown menu. Unless otherwise specified, all cables are pre-burnt in for 96 hours.
- Add to Basket: Once you have made all the necessary selections, click on the 'Add to Basket' button. This action adds your customised cable to your shopping basket, bringing you one step closer to completing your order.
- Dispatch and Delivery: After placing your order, Future Shop or the manufacturer's engineers will promptly manufacture your cable according to your specifications. It will then undergo the specified burn-in process if chosen.
Please note: Please note you need to enter a quantity of 2 for a pair of speaker cables, i.e. for the left speaker and right speaker.
Once these processes are complete and subject to Future Shop's Terms & Conditions and stock availability, your cable will be dispatched for delivery.
