"The quality of the Athena build, combined with this type of riveting sound signature is a serious market disruptor to the current thinking about what a palladium silver hybrid cable should cost or simply what kind of performance you can expect from any cable at this price point."

Flagship upgrade cable with silver and palladium
Introducing our newest flagship cable - the Athena of Olympus series! The new series focuses on the application of precious metals on the wires. This cable is named for the wire material itself - palladium - the high quality, rare metal named after the goddess Athena.
With the experience from the two previous Pure Silver series, the Artemis and the Medusa, Satin Audio decided to introduce the brand new precious metal palladium into the Pure Silver veins in order to achieve a better sound. Actually, you only see this precious metal in very expensive cables at an unbelievable price of several thousand dollars.
Satin Audio has researched and selected the optimal ratio of silver to palladium to maximize audio signal transmission. The Athena is manufactured using SP-OCC (Superior Pure OCC) technology to produce the purest silver with purity levels of 6N (99.99998%) and even 7N (99.999998%) depending on the different batches . This is the highest purity of silver cable brought to market to date. In addition, the Athena is provided with the latest special satin structures developed from Type 4 strands. The result is that the new structure not only has similar properties to the Type 4 strand, but also includes some improvements:
Hybrid Central Bundle: The bundles are made up of super small strands, and instead of just one central Kevlar -Damping core, this Kevlar core is now surrounded by strands. This structure helps increase durability, anti-vibration and signal transmission.
Different sized strands: Satin Audio uses different sized strands, each covered with a layer of insulation so that they are protected from oxidation and improve signal transmission is maximized.

In addition, the SA Insulation jacket has been further developed into an advanced SA Insulation II jacket with improved flexibility and transparency, making the cable look even more shiny and eye-catching. This jacket has been intentionally designed to be soft and very comfortable throughout its lifetime, rather than hardening after exposure to sweat like other cables on the market.
For packaging, the Athena comes in a premium sheepskin box , which offers enough space for all braiding options, up to 8 braided cables.
