Atlas Cables Adapts to Work From Home
Due to the coronavirus, most people have been forced to work from home - a straightforward enough task if all you need is a laptop or phone. But what about manufacturers where factories have been forced to either shut down or reduce capacity to allow distancing between workers (UK's current restrictions).
Atlas Cables has taken a different approach and set up its manufacturing workforce with benches at home so they can continue production without fear of contamination.
Atlas pioneered manufacturing cables without solder years ago, opting for a dry weald or crimp. As well as giving a better connection, this has allowed Atlas to set up its staff with everything they need to continue making its range of award-winning cables from home.
Staff have effectively set their workbench up in their kitchens, living rooms, or wherever they can find space. This means that the vast majority of products will remain available and ready for order. All office-based staff have also set up at home and deliveries and shipments will continue as usual.
Kevin Kelly, Managing Director at Atlas, told StereoNET:
During these unprecedented times, many people are at home and might turn their attention to their entertainment systems for solace. It was important to us that were anyone wanting to upgrade their cables, then they had the opportunity to do just that with Atlas, so keeping our stock levels healthy was very important.
When we suggested to the team here at Atlas to continue as normal in as best a way that we could, there was 100% agreement, so we set about working out a way that not only keeps everybody safe and isolated but also meant that we could keep the business going as best we could. Thanks to the dedication of our team, we have been able to do just that.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
