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.
Brand highlights
Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:
- Synergistic Research products often include proprietary EM (Electromagnetic) cell technology to actively filter and condition AC power, without limiting current flow.
- They provide a range of tuning options, such as selectable ULF (Ultra Low Frequency) generators and included tuning discs, to tailor the sound to specific music genres or system preferences.
- SR power conditioners commonly feature isolated outlet banks designed to separate analog and digital components, reducing cross-contamination and improving overall clarity.
- Synergistic Research bundles their power conditioners with high-quality power cords and upgraded wall outlets, offering a complete power conditioning solution out of the box.
