Product Description
Altaira-X is the pinnacle of Shunyata Research’s ground noise-reduction technology. Evolving from the award-winning Altaira Ground System, Altaira-X delivers a dramatic leap in noise reduction, isolation, and system clarity. Its eight independently filtered terminals establish an ultra-quiet foundation for high-end listening, recording, or mastering environments seeking ultimate fidelity.
The All-In-One ‘X’ Solution
This eight-post reference ground hub accommodates entire systems with ease. Each terminal is fully isolated, allowing chassis and signal grounds to coexist without noise transfer. No setup or configuration required—every connection maintains pure signal separation, ensuring each component performs in a calm, interference-free environment.
Advanced Technology, Elevated Sound
Altaira-X integrates a suite of proprietary innovations:
-
TAPc™ (Transverse Axial Polarizer) — patent-pending EMI reduction for enhanced timing, dynamics, and detail.
-
NIC™ (Noise Isolation Chamber) — patented ferroelectric filtering that absorbs high-frequency noise.
-
Platinum-plated copper terminals — ultra-low resistance and tonal purity.
Together, these technologies create a deep, silent background, unlocking extraordinary resolution, realism, and musical depth.
‘X’ Ground Cables
Purpose-built ‘X’ Ground Cables complete the reference system. Featuring pure silver conductors treated with KPIP v2™ for atomic-level refinement, they deliver unmatched conductivity, dynamics, and lifelike sound. Integrated TAPc and CMode modules provide the cleanest possible ground connection, perfectly complementing Altaira-X performance.
