PEERLESS PERFORMANCE
‘X’ Ground Cables complete the Altaira-X reference grounding system by providing the lowest-resistance connection possible between components and the hub. They feature pure silver conductors treated with Shunyata Research’s KPIP v2™ process to achieve unmatched conductivity, dynamics, and resolution. Paired with Shunyata’s proprietary platinum-plated STIS v3 interchangeable terminals, as well as integrated TAPc and CMode (Common Mode noise reduction) modules, these cables form the finest ground connection available, perfectly complementing the uncompromising performance of the Altaira-X hub.
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.
CMode is an advanced filter that effectively reduces common-mode noise without introducing the sonic compression effects associated with conventional filters. By reducing this distortion, CMode helps deliver an analog ease and palpable background silence, closing the gap between digital and analog systems.
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.
STIS™ v3 is an advanced interchangeable terminal system that combines the flexibility of user-changeable connectors with the performance of fixed terminations. Its solid copper terminals can be quickly changed to match the components and connections in use.
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.
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.
