SHUNYATA ALPHA-X SPEAKER CABLES

Product Description

SHUNYATA ALPHA-X SPEAKER CABLES

NOTE: Bi-Wire & Tri-Wire configurations also available, please contact us for pricing.

Alpha-X Speaker Cables represent a masterful blend of proprietary technologies and advanced materials, offering superlative sound quality with a balance of clarity, dynamics, and musicality. Exclusive TAPc (Transverse Axial Polarizer) technology, significantly lowers the noise floor and reduces phase distortions resulting in a cleaner, more detailed presentation across all frequencies.

Alpha-X speaker cables feature Shunyata’s HARP technology, designed to diffuse current reflections and resonances. This ensures unmatched tonal fidelity while enhancing sonic coherence, resolution and tonal accuracy. The HARP delivers a deeply immersive experience while portraying an expansive palette of fine details and textures.

Shunyata’s VTX-Ag conductors are made from both silver and copper conductors, in a coaxial geometry, delivering the speed and clarity of silver along with the warmth and low-end authority of copper. Finally, the KPIP v2 (Kinetic Phase Inversion Process) conditions the conductors, reducing break-in time and optimizing sonic performance.

The combined impact of these advanced technologies results in a dynamic, immersive listening experience that remains steadfast in its ultimate goal — capturing the pure essence of the music.

GROUNDBREAKING TECHNOLOGY

TAPc

(Transverse Axial Polarizer) is a patent-pending technology developed by Shunyata Research to enhance the performance of its reference signal cables. The evolution of this technology has led to the creation of TAPc, a groundbreaking advancement that significantly reduces the size of the modules, enabling their application across a broader range of cables, including power cords, interconnects, digital cables and speaker cables.

The sonic results of TAPc technology include a profound drop in perceived noise floor, effortlessly portrayed dynamics, and an exceptional rendering of timing and coherency. These benefits are unique to TAPc, setting it apart from any competing product or technology. Even to an untrained ear, the effects of TAPc are immediately apparent and consistently repeatable across various components and systems. Essentially, the TAPc modules act as force multipliers, elevating the listening experience to levels many would not have thought possible.

HARP

HARP was discovered through Gabriel’s research into ‘current drift’ and audio frequency current resonances that occur in speaker cables. Theoretically, a speaker cable may develop current resonances in the audio band, being roughly analogous to standing waves (modals) in room acoustics. The ‌‌HARP module acts as a current mode diffraction device that breaks up these resonances, improving the perceived resolution and coherency of the system.

VTX-Ag

Shunyata’s VTX-Ag cables are uniquely constructed with both an inner, center conductor made of pure silver and an outer concentric ring conductor made of pure copper. It’s made using the finest fluorocarbon insulation to minimize dielectric absorption and re-radiation which translates to an improvement in resolution and clarity. VTX-Ag delivers the speed and clarity of silver and the midrange warmth and three dimensional power in the lower octaves of copper without imparting any of the negatives associated with either metal. – The best qualities of silver and copper combined

KPIP v2™

Shunyata Research’s proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process includes four days of continuous KPIP v2™ processing which refines conductor metals at a molecular level. This dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation. When compared to the original process, KPIP v2™ represents a dramatic performance upgrade on par with a component-level upgrade.

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 audio and power cables is reduces the perception of dynamic compression and it improves sonic low-level resolution and clarity.
