Product Description
Shunyata Research Grounding systems are designed to eliminate chassis and signal related ground noise through the use of vanishingly low-impedance ground cables and two separate and discrete ground filtering stations. The Altaira Chassis ground station forms the baseline of this system by draining chassis borne noise, while the separate and distinct Altaira Signal Ground station reduces internally generated component borne noise riding on signal grounds. The results after installing the complete system is a stunning, immediate reduction in overall noise, uncovering a wealth of hidden detail and performance hidden beneath all system's noise floor.
The Shunyata Omega ground cable utilises an interchangeable connector for versatility. Standard configuration is a spade to banana. Optional VTX-Ag Ground Tails are available separately.
VTX-Ag conductors use an outer tube geometry of the purest form of copper, intended to bring out the purest tone and timbres of recorded instruments and voice. This VTX outer core of pure copper surrounds an inner core of the purest form of silver. This inner Ag core demonstrably improves macro-dynamics and creates an incredible three dimensional weight and timing in the lower octaves.
Common-node 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. Exclusive to the Omega level of Shunyata Ground Cables.
