Product Description

PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF DIGITAL AUDIO

Inspired by collaboration with the industry’s most renowned mastering engineers, Shunyata Research has developed the most advanced digital cabling systems in our award-winning history. Sigma-X digital 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.

Sigma-X digital cables are engineered for those who demand unrivaled levels of clarity and resolution while preserving a natural tonal presentation. These technical innovations produce to an ultra-low noise floor, enabling a sonic experience that reveals the most elusive details with superb precision.

PRECISION BEYOND EXPECTATION

Sigma-X digital cables transcend the limitations of conventional digital playback, delivering a musical experience that rivals the purity and depth of analog systems. They allow even the most complex digital systems to reproduce sound as if cut directly from an analog master tape. 

For listeners seeking ultimate realism, Sigma-X reveals the intricate details and nuances only experienced with live musical performances.

TECHNOLOGY

Shunyata Research digital cables are produced using a ‌Precision Matched Z (‌‌PMZ) concept. This means that tolerances of the conductor surface, dielectric extrusion, and the precision of the braided shield are held to minute variances. To achieve these tight tolerances, the extrusion and braiding machines must be run at one-quarter speed during the manufacturing process. The result is better performance through a reduction of cable-induced ‘signal jitter’. (Note: Z means impedance)

‌‌ArNi® is a type of wire created by Shunyata Research designed to be the finest quality wire available for audio purposes. It begins with the highest purity of copper available – OFE C10100 or Ohno (single crystal). Then it is formed in virtual hollow tubes eliminating skin effects and eddy current distortions. A premium fluorocarbon insulation minimizes dielectric absorption and re-radiation, greatly improving resolution and clarity. In addition, the wire undergoes our proprietary KPIP™ process.

Shunyata Research’s exclusive ‌VTX™ conductors are made in the shape of virtual tubes. The core of the conductor is completely hollow minimizing skin effects and random eddy currents. They are produced using OFE Alloy-101.

Common-mode noise is different than differential noise and is much more difficult to measure and eliminate. For the purest signal possible, Shunyata Research has developed a CMode filter that effectively reduces common-mode noise without introducing the sonic compression effects associated with conventional filters. It reduces high-frequency noise distortion while delivering an analog ease and palpable background silence that closes the gap between digital and analog systems. – Reduces common-mode noise

PMZ Connectors

Pulse timing is critical to digital transmission accuracy.  It is critical that a digital connector’s impedance precisely match the cables’s characteristic impedance.  A mismatched connector will create signal reflections which increases digital jitter or phase noise. A 50-ohm cable requires a 50-ohm termination — not the commonly used 75-ohm connector. Shunyata Research is careful to ensure that every cable and connector are precisely matched for a seamless component to component connection.

Shunyata Research

Great audio is all about creating a distortion-free signal path. Shunyata Research brings innovative design and cutting-edge technologies to some of the most overlooked parts of your home audio setup. The Washington-based company focuses on creating power conditioning systems and cables to boost the performance of high-end audio and home theater electronics. Founded in 1997 by Caelin Gabriel, a former military scientist, it owns multiple patents for home audio and recording, mastering, film, and even surgical systems.

Their product line includes award-winning processors, power conditioners, power cables, audio cables, and digital cables manufactured and tested at their 18,000-square-foot facility in Seattle. These unsung heroes raise the bar in AC conditioning for cleaner sound straight from the source. Beyond its patented designs, Shunyata Research is known for its service and support throughout the lifetime of its products.

It's no wonder they're an audiophile favorite worldwide. Particularly useful to our hi-fi applications are their Venom X Series cables. Venom-X cables offer customization and conductor treatments unprecedented at their price points. Their PMZ and VTX conductors reduce impedance and create a more balanced tone when relaying audio signals. They’re versatile and can be used in analog, solid-state, tube and digital setups.

As a nationally recognized leader in the field of high-end audio and home theater, Overture is a proud dealer of Shunyata Research cables and power distributors, selling customers the best Shunyata products in Sales Tax Free Delaware.
