MASTERING AN ANALOG SIGNAL FROM A DIGITAL SOURCE

Alpha-X digital cables elevate musical reproduction to levels previously only experienced with first generation, purely analog master tapes. Alpha-X cables are engineered using patented and proprietary technologies that enhance signal fidelity by reducing cable induced jitter that results in temporal displacement and phase distortion.

THE SOUND OF A NATURAL SOURCE

Many digital systems do not achieve their full theoretical potential due to micro-distortions introduced to the system by the interconnecting cabling systems. Alpha-X digital cables eliminate these limitations, delivering a sound that is unforced, natural, and dynamic. The result is a listening experience that rivals most analog systems, bringing digital recordings to life with newfound depth and detail.

Alpha-X is the perfect choice for those that demand absolutely uncompromising levels of performance.

GROUNDBREAKING TECHNOLOGY

icon-tapc-200px

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 or compression on sound or images.

PMZ is an ultra-precise standard of production applied to select coaxial conductors. By running the braiding machines at 1/4 speed, tolerances of the conductor surface, dielectric extrusion and the precision of the braided shield are held to minute variances.

Shunyata Research’s proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIP v2™) refines conductor and terminal metals at the atomic level. This dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation.
