EXCLUSIVE NR TECHNOLOGY
The letters “NR” stand for “Noise Reduction”. Shunyata Research manufactures Noise Reduction power cords that contain filter circuits that measurably and dramatically reduce noise at specific frequencies common to the power line and electronic power supplies. NR power cords eliminate noise in two directions and deliver startling results when connected to electronics tasked with resolving low-level signals or improving visual images.
Shunyata Research’s NR power cords are used within the scientific community, medical imaging and heart surgery labs, and many world-renowned recording studios.
Every facet of the Venom V14 power cord has been refined to deliver measurably superior Dynamic Transient Current Delivery. DTCD™ Analysis is a technique that measures instantaneous current through low impedance electrical conductors and contacts. Shunyata Research uses it to optimize the design, specification and construction of parts and materials to ensure maximum current delivery performance. Each part, conductor, noise circuit and material inside the Delta allows for maximum throughput of instantaneous current.
Listeners will experience earth-shaking low-frequency performance from even the highest-current amplifiers as well as dynamic contrasts unheard of outside of a live event. More than any other design parameter, Shunyata Research’s skill at reducing impedance and improving dynamic instantaneous current is unparalleled.
HIGH PERFORMANCE CONDUCTORS
Shunyata Research uses only the highest purity of copper available for the production of its wire products. OFE Alloy 101 or C10100 is the highest grade of copper with a minimum 99.99% purity and a conductivity rating of 101% IACS. OFE stands for oxygen-free electrolytic and supersedes the term OFHC (oxygen-free high conductivity). C10100 is the only grade of copper that comes with a written certification of purity.
Certified by ASTM F68 C10100
FLUOROCARBON DIELECTRICS
Fluorocarbon dielectrics are usually only found in wire used in the aerospace industry, satellites and only the most expensive audiophile cabling. It has special electrical characteristics; very low dielectric absorption, high dielectric strength and exceptional heat resistance. When used in power cables is reduces the perception of dynamic compression and reduces blur and slur of transients.
EXCLUSIVE SHUNYATA RESEARCH CONNECTORS
The Venom V14 features audiophile-grade, molded connectors made from high-grade brass with the ability to accept 14 gauge power conductors. The connectors are completely sealed with a potting compound that protects the contacts and wires from corrosion. This also prevents any possibility of the wires becoming loose over time.
Hermetically Sealed
Shunyata Research plugs are filled with an electrically inert compound that protects the contacts and wires from corrosion. The compound also ensures that the wires cannot become loose, fray or pull out from the head shell. This guarantees a lifetime of reliable performance that does not degrade over time.
KPIP™ PROCESSING
Venom V14 power cords receive the same proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process treatment developed for our Reference Line power cables.
Four days of continuous KPIP™ processing dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation.
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
The unparalleled craftsmanship and build quality of Shunyata Research products is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The new Venom Series power cords are prime examples of our commitment to superb performance backed by exceptional quality, warranty, and customer support.
