Synergistic Research Excite SX Atmosphere Power Cable

Foundation SX Power Cords start with 3 x 12 or 3 x 10-gauge copper alloy conductors, more than enough to handle your system’s power needs, including power-hungry amplifiers and line conditioners. We then add 2 x pure silver Air String geometries handmade in our California factory for increased air, image focus, and dynamic impact.

Next, we upgraded Foundation SX with brand-new technology first developed for our SRX cable loom and Purple fuses. This new UEF compound delivers a lower noise floor than the original Foundation power cords.

Next, we apply a novel long-duration multi-channel high-frequency conditioning process also developed alongside our state-of-the-art cable loom, SRX. All told, Foundation SX upgrades give your system a lower noise floor from which springs a new level of detail, dynamics, and soundstage.

No cable at Foundation SX’s price level can match, not even close. But, of course, hearing is believing, so we invite you to experience a massive leap in performance over one of the most popular power cables in SR’s 30-year history.

The previous Atmosphere X Series Cables started as an experiment to explore ways of improving UEF Shielding by placing UEF Tech at strategic grid points on the shields of Atmosphere cables, now called Matrix Shielding. Matrix Shielding arranges UEF elements on a grid pattern of the cable shield to lower its noise floor. Atmosphere SX refines Matrix Shielding further by using new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs developed expressly for Atmosphere SX to enhance the loom's ability to cancel noise that would otherwise cause high frequencies to sound harsh or fatiguing. As a result of our ongoing research into UEF Shielding, we have pushed the resolution envelope when voicing Atmosphere SX by developing new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs for a more holographic sound with enhanced resolution and musicality.

After perfecting the most natural-sounding and holographic cables in our history, we set out to take them further with a new high voltage conditioning process that applies a sweeping frequency plot for an extended duration. We experimented with dozens of frequencies in different combinations over a prolonged time period before landing on just the right mix. We even built a new Tesla Coil to handle the excess heat generated during long conditioning sessions. Once finalized, the SRX conditioning process created holographic realism and timbrel accuracy far beyond our previous Tesla Coil conditioning protocol.

Atmosphere SX Level 3 UEF Matrix Treatment: 2 different UEF coatings with Graphene are applied to connectors and cabling and ground significantly reducing the noise floor and allowing a purer signal to transfer with less grain providing more warmth and detail. The conductors and ground plane also benefit from dampening effect that UEF provides.

Silver Solder: 4%

Hand build time: 2.5 hours

SRX Long Duration Quantum Tunneling: Before the Active power supply is incorporated all connections and cabling are treated with 1,000,000 volts of electricity at specific frequencies and pulse modulations, creating a canal in the conductor material and contact points at the molecular level that lets electrons to flow more freely. This allows the “Active Shielding” to work more efficiently yielding the maximum amount of low level information through the conductors and provides for the higher degree of realistic musical performance
