Timelord has announced it will begin domestic distribution of Scottish audio cable brand “ATLAS” from December 1, 2025.

About ATLAS

ATLAS is a cable specialist manufacturer founded in Scotland in 1999. The company is characterized by in-house development of everything from conductors, dielectrics, connectors, insulation structures, to earthing technology.

Product Features

No Silver Plating

The design philosophy excludes silver-plated conductors in analog cables.

Precision Cold Welding

Adopts proprietary construction using precision cold welding for connector attachment without solder. This enhances signal transmission purity while achieving reduced contact resistance and long-term stability.

In-House Manufactured Plugs

Plugs are also developed and manufactured in-house. Top models feature handmade finishing at the Scottish factory.

Grun Earthing System

ATLAS’s proprietary earthing technology “Grun Earthing System” is another major feature. The system releases micro-noise accumulated in cables externally, suppressing the effects of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). Effectiveness increases when multiple Grun-compatible cables are combined, regardless of whether they’re analog or digital.
