Description
The Atlas Arran OCC XLR Interconnects is a high-performance, ultra-wide bandwidth interconnect engineered to deliver exceptional sound quality.
Designed to complement the finest stereo components, this cable belongs to Atlas’s most advanced range of OCC copper audio cables. As a "statement" cable, the Arran OCC XLR provides a solid-core construction using ultra-high-purity Ohno Continuous Casting (OCC) copper, ensuring top-tier signal transmission with minimal distortion.
Its advanced design features make it the ideal choice for audiophiles looking for a transparent, precise sound that faithfully conveys the musical details without interference. Packaged in a premium blue box, the Arran represents Atlas's commitment to both technical excellence and aesthetic appeal, ensuring an outstanding performance in even the most demanding audio setups.
Design and Construction
At the core of the Arran OCC XLR is a pair of conductors, each constructed from six solid OCC copper strands surrounding a seventh central core. These conductors are tension-wrapped in a multi-layer microporous PTFE dielectric, which further enhances the cable’s performance by reducing signal loss and maintaining clarity.
The interconnect is terminated with Atlas’s signature ‘dark Chrome’ XLR connectors, made from lightweight yet durable aluminum alloy. Each connector is fitted with precision cold-welded OCC copper pins, ensuring a direct and uninterrupted signal path from source to destination.
To further enhance signal integrity, the Arran incorporates a continuous copper shielding braid for maximum protection against radio frequency interference (RFI) and other environmental noise sources, ensuring the cleanest possible audio output.
Performance and Sound Quality
The Arran OCC XLR excels not only in its physical design but also in its sonic performance, offering a beautifully balanced, natural sound with an extremely low noise floor. This is achieved through the inclusion of the precision-engineered dual-drain (dd) system, where twin symmetrical drain wires connect the shield to the cable return/plug interface.
This innovative design prevents distortion, twisting, or mechanical stress on the cable’s precision-laid screen, maintaining a stable impedance and shielding against RFI. The result is an expansive dynamic range, revealing musical nuances, precise timing, and detailed energy without introducing any artificial emphasis.
Every aspect of the Arran cable has been designed to minimize its own audible signature, ensuring that only the purest sound, uncolored by the cable itself, reaches the listener. The Arran OCC XLR stands as a true reference-level cable, designed for high-end audio systems where every detail matters.
