The Typhon-X power distributor combines a maximized version of Shunyata Research’s most impactful patented circuit, the QR/BB, with its advanced TAPc technology. Designer Caelin Gabriel refers to the QR/BB as the “engine” that drives the performance of Shunyata Research’s finest power cable and power distributor designs. Acting as an energy-reserve circuit, the QR/BB makes peak energy more readily available to current-sensitive electronics than the wall outlet alone can provide. TAPc removes additional layers of electromagnetic noise, producing an unmistakable improvement in the performance of amplifiers and other connected electronics. Dynamics become more vivid, transient response more immediate and spatial resolution more three-dimensional. For amplifiers, recording consoles, or other high-current components, the Typhon-X delivers an unprecedented level of performance, whether used only with amplifiers or as a two or three-component power distributor.
The Typhon-X’s custom-designed 30A Amphenol twist-lock power input and its substantial internal wiring system are an ideal platform for high current applications. The Amphenol connector features massive, precision-machined contact surfaces made from solid Tellurium copper. This confers exceptionally low contact resistance to peak energy transfer. To support optimal performance, Shunyata Research also manufactures dedicated 30A capable power cords for the Typhon-X utilizing custom military-grade copper connectors.
The Typhon-X has earned widespread professional and critical acclaim for its high-current capability. Connected to amplifiers or other current-sensitive electronics, the Typhon-X increases dynamic authority, scale and frequency extension while allowing music to play at higher levels without compression or hardness. These are immediate, unmistakable performance traits reported by hundreds of first-time listeners. Musicians and engineers describe a sense of boundless energy, as if a harness has been removed from their monitor systems. In professional audio, the Typhon-X powers recording consoles and the guitar amplifiers of world-famous musicians, both onstage and in the studio.
The Typhon-X can be used with 15A, 20A, or 30A wall circuits and will act as an immediate upgrade to any amplifier/pre-amplifier combination, or even a DAC/phono-stage system.
The proprietary Amphenol inlet connector and outlet connector require power cables that are specifically built for this application.

Susan Tedeschi & Derek Trucks - Swamp Raga Studio
Pictured from left are Recording Engineer Bobby Tis, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks and Shunyata Research's Grant Samuelsen.
Even the most accomplished musicians in the world speak of Susan and Derek in reverential terms, as if they are musical royalty. With multiple Grammy's and music industry awards to their credit, few musicians come with as many industry credentials, fanfare and accolades. Since his days playing lead guitar for the Allman Brothers, Derek is recognized as one of the greatest blues and slide guitarists of all time. Susan has been honored with multiple Grammy's and professional awards as one of the most influential soul and blues artists working today. Both Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks take the quality of their music and the sound of their recordings extremely seriously having just completed work on their own state of the art recording studio.
"Derek is now plugging his custom designed Allessandro amp into the Typhon on tour. We found it to be very helpful in lowering noise and offering an openness in dynamics with the amps."
-Tedeschi Trucks Recording Engineer Bobby Tis
GROUNDBREAKING TECHNOLOGY
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.
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 ~
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.
The NIC™ (Noise Isolation Chamber) is a patented technology that reduces high frequency power line noise. It absorbs high frequency noise without any of the reactive negatives associated with transformers, chokes, coils or large capacitors used in more conventional power conditioners.
~ Patent US 8,658,892 ~
DTCD® Analysis is a proprietary measurement technique developed to measure instantaneous current flow through very low impedance electrical conductors and contacts. It is used to optimize the design of electrical parts and materials, ensuring optimal instantaneous current delivery.
CCI™ filters have the unique ability to reduce component-generated power line noise without inhibiting DTCD® (Dynamic Transient Current Delivery). This unique micro-filtering approach prevents power line noise from one component from contaminating other electronics in the system.
