Introducing Omega-X Speaker Cables and Interconnects
DEFYING GRAVITY
Shunyata Research is proud to announce the official release of its Omega-X speaker cables and Omega-X interconnects. Omega-X cables represent the finest products Shunyata Research has ever produced.
The Omega-X speaker cable and interconnects redefine performance expectations. They feature the most advanced versions of Shunyata Research's TAPc and HARP technologies. These innovations, previously used to elevate products like Everest-X, Altaira-X, and X-series cables, have been further refined and expanded within Omega-X to achieve an extraordinary level of signal fidelity. By eliminating several forms of micro distortion such as current-mode resonance and polarization distortion, Omega-X delivers a purity of signal transmission that dramatically enhances resolution, timing, and musical realism.
Omega-X cables convey music with seamless coherence and silent authority. Music emerges unburdened by the common distortions that detract from pure fidelity, eliminating any sense of listening through an electronic medium.
For anyone seeking the ultimate reference in cable performance, Omega-X speaker cables and interconnects belong at the top of the audition list. Nothing currently available rivals their level of sonic precision and realism.
CRITICAL TECHNOLOGIES IN OMEGA-X SIGNAL CABLES
TAPc (Transverse Axial Polarizer) is a patent-pending technology that couples to the electromagnetic fields surrounding electrical or signal conductors. TAPc behaves like a polarizer, passively reducing electromagnetic distortion that presents as a type of glare on sound or images.
The sonic impact of TAPc is unmistakable. There is a profound drop in perceived noise floor, effortlessly portrayed dynamics and an immediate improvement in the rendering of timing and coherency in sound. These performance elements are unique to TAPc and remain unaddressed by competing technologies of any kind. Even casual listeners can recognize the effect TAPc has upon first listen. Results are consistent across a wide range of components and systems. Essentially, the TAPc modules act as force multipliers, elevating the listening experience to levels many would not have thought possible.
HARP was discovered through Gabriel’s research into ‘current drift’ and audio frequency current resonances that occur in speaker cables. Theoretically, a speaker cable may develop current resonances in the audio band, being roughly analogous to standing waves (modals) in room acoustics. The HARP module acts as a current mode diffraction device that breaks up these resonances, improving the perceived resolution and coherency of the system.
Ohno wire, also called PSOCC (Pure Silver Ohno Continuous Cast) was invented in 1986 by professor Atsumi Ohno of the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan. Standard wire is created by an extrusion process that pulls a rod of cold metal through a small orifice which creates multiple crystalline boundaries. By contrast, Ohno wire is made by a process using heated molds that cast a wire to form a single crystalline structure. Ohno wire is well known for its exceptionally pure, grain-free sonic qualities.
Shunyata’s VTX-Ag cables are uniquely constructed with both an inner, center conductor made of pure silver and an outer concentric ring conductor made of pure copper. It’s made using the finest fluorocarbon insulation to minimize dielectric absorption and re-radiation which translates to an improvement in resolution and clarity. VTX-Ag delivers the speed and clarity of silver and the midrange warmth and three dimensional power in the lower octaves of copper without imparting any of the negatives associated with either metal. – The best qualities of silver and copper combined
Platinum plating on the ground terminals delivers exceptional fidelity and tonal purity, offering a stunning natural presentation that complements the heightened resolution of Altaira-X. Fine detail is revealed without harshness, while clarity, contrast, and dimensionality are preserved.
KPIP v2™ Shunyata Research’s proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process includes four days of continuous KPIP v2™ processing which refines conductor metals at the atomic level. This dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation. When compared to the original process, KPIP v2™ represents a dramatic performance upgrade on par with a component-level upgrade.
