Atlas Transpose Modular Connector.
Technology : Innovation in practiceMaximum flexibility. Optimum performance. Transpose speaker cables (in the Mavros , Arran and Asimi ranges) are fitted as standard with the Transpose Modular Termination System, which facilitates easy switching between expanding 4mm connectors, spade and Z-plugs as your requirements change.
With our Transpose Modular Termination System, the cable is factory-terminated with cold-weld connectors which accept a range of threaded inserts (the actual connector part of the plug). This gives the user the option to change from, for example, expanding 4mm plugs to spades simply by purchasing a set of Transpose spade adapters.
The construction and finishing of our Transpose connectors is also vital to their performance.
Plug pins and contacts are deep gold or silver-plated* to prevent oxidisation, which affects performance, and visible tarnishing. The priority is to minimise contact resistance, which is critical to consistent performance.
* Silver is a more efficient conductor than gold, but is both more expensive and prone to tarnishing. We silver-plate our Transpose Expanding connectors, and provide a silver polishing cloth for cleaning.
Transpose Speaker ‘Jumper’ Links. Use these to replace the manufacturer supplied links on biwirable speakers. We recommend you use the same cable type as your main speaker cable, ie. if you have Mavros cables, use Mavros jumpers.
Specify your preference for connectors (at either end) at point of purchase. Options are gold Z Plug, gold Spade, silver Z Plug, silver Spade silver or 4mm Expanding plug.
The superiority of our cold-weld (crimped) connections.
A soldered connection creates an undesirable material ‘barrier’ in the signal path, as well as potential inconsistencies. Screw terminations can distort or damage the conductor and/or dielectric, resulting in measurable deviations from the intended specification.
In a cold-weld (solder-free) connection, the metal of the connector plug and the wire are squeezed together under a calibrated pressure to form a robust, consistent, air-tight metal to metal contact with no deformation of the cable dielectric. The result is a smooth, uninterrupted signal path which behaves as one continuous entity.
Integrated with Grun.
Speaker cables fitted with our Transpose speaker connectors are Grun-enabled as standard.
Grun spade tag adapters are included as required with all relevant products; higher performance can be attained via our Grun mains adapters, which can each be used with up to four products.
