THE ULTIMATE IN POWER CORD PERFORMANCE

 

Caelin Gabriel was given a challenge to design the ultimate power cord without regard to  costs, construction intricacies or time constraints. It would have to exceed ALL current levels of performance and achieve an unprecedented degree of clarity and dynamic expression. 

The OMEGA-X power cords are the ultimate examples of more than a quarter-century of dedicated research and product refinement. Literally hundreds of tests, man hours, alternative materials and innovative construction techniques have combined to deliver products proven to posses incomparable performance.

Shunyata Research power cables have proven to deliver an elite level of performance within the world's finest recording studios, mastering labs and life-preserving medical systems. 

 

OMEGA-X QR

 

The Omega-X QR is the barometer of what can be achieved when the entirety of one individual’s passion, intelligence and creativity is focused on the creation of a singularly iconic product.

The Omega-X QR contains not one, but two patented QRBB elements. The addition of the second QRBB dramatically improves the performance of the world's finest amplifiers, preamplifiers, as well as the finest analog and digital source components. 

Omega-X QR is no longer just for amplifiers; it is designed to form a sympathetic bond with all classes of components. Once connected, the Omega X QR creates an island of calm within the sea of noise that surrounds electronics systems.

 

OMEGA-X XC

 

The Omega-X XC is purpose-built as the ultimate high-current companion power cord for the world’s finest power distributors. With massive four-gauge conductors, VTX-Ag geometry, and proprietary CopperConn connectors, the XC minimizes resistance and maximizes instantaneous current capability. Perhaps the most notable updates for the Omega-X XC are the TAPc modules and KPIP v2, which work together to dramatically reduce noise and enhance signal fidelity from the wall to any high-current power distributor. Taken together, the design elements within the Omega-X XC make it the most advanced product of its kind. There is no better power cable for Shunyata Research’s reference level power distributors.

EASE OF USE

Don't be fooled by the Omega-X power cord’s large gauge conductors and sizable diameters. Both models are relatively lightweight and bend easily to route around or through tight bends or corners. No power cord this massive has the combination of the Omega-X power cord’s ability to navigate in and around systems with ease.

Omega-X power cords unlock performance to a degree that has startled even the most seasoned industry veteran. Omega-X cables break through all performance barriers to deliver the full potential locked within the world’s most exotic music systems.

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.

icon-qrbb-200px

QR/BB™ is a patented technology which acts as an instantaneous energy reserve when placed in-line with an AC power supply. It dramatically enhances the perception of dynamic impact, timing and scale in sound when connected to amplifiers or other analog-output electronics.
~ Patent: US 10,031,536 ~

icon-kpipv2-200px

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. 

icon-vtx-ag-200px

VTX-Ag™ conductors combine a pure silver center core with an outer concentric ring of pure copper. This geometry delivers silver’s speed, clarity, and resolution with copper’s warmth, body, dimensionality, and low-octave power.

icon-gen3-nr-200px-v2

Gen3 NR is the reference-level evolution of Shunyata Research’s renowned and extensively tested noise reduction technology. Its refined circuit lowers noise without limiting dynamics and further improves transient speed, transparency, purity, and micro-dynamic expression.

icon-copperconn-200px

CopperCONN® connectors and outlets feature pure copper contacts, providing substantially higher conductivity than conventional brass or bronze contacts. Since the contact’s base metal carries the majority of the current, this superior conductivity translates directly into audible performance gains.

icon-platinum-plated-200px

Platinum-plated connectors deliver exceptional fidelity and tonal purity, offering a smooth, natural presentation with enhanced resolution. Fine detail emerges effortlessly, without added edge or glare, while clarity, contrast, and dimensionality are preserved across the full dynamic range of the system.

icon-fluorocarbon-200px

Fluorocarbon dielectrics have unique electrical characteristics: very low dielectric absorption, high dielectric strength and exceptional heat resistance. In Shunyata Research cables it reduces the perception of dynamic compression and it improves low-level resolution and clarity.
