Description
About this product:Patented Science, Proven Technology, and Unassailable Construction: Your Ears Will Tell You Everything You Need to Know About Shunyata Alpha v2 Speaker CablesThe reasons behind the revelatory, reference-grade performance of Shunyatas Alpha v2 speaker cables owe to a striking combination of engineering, technology, and construction that begins with patented science. Specifically, a breakthrough proprietary device called HARP reduces current resonances within the cables, analogous to the use of diffusion panels that treat frequency irregularities in room acoustics. Second-generation Zitron technology that measurably lowers dielectric distortion while preserving the integrity of the original audio signal. But it alone isnt solely responsible for allowing Alpha v2 to clearly pass the full measure of your power amplifier to your loudspeakers. Alpha v2 also touts Shunyatas Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIP) – a groundbreaking conditioning method that not only eliminates the need for time-consuming burn-in but elevates the overall fidelity of your system. Thats correct: Alpha v2 cables dont require any time to sound their best. They are ready to go out of the box thanks to KPIP. Of course, Shunyata wouldnt put its name on any audio product that wasnt built to nth degree, and the U.S.A.-made Alpha v2 cables are no exception.All Alpha v2 speaker cables feature OFE copper conductors, advanced fluorocarbon dielectrics, sonic welding that mitigates junction points, and STIS terminals. Shunyatas exclusive, huge, six-gauge VTX hollow-core conductors maximizes current flow and prevents any skin effects. We could attempt to sway you with all of the improvements you will hear with Alpha v2 speaker cables providing that ever-important link in your system. Yet that wouldnt even account for all the details youll notice on recordings that you never knew existed – or which never sounded so full, rich, or present. That being said, its best you experience Alpha v2 for yourself in your home. Alpha v2 speaker cables will renew your faith in science – and have you listening for hours on hours on end.HARPHARP was discovered during Caelin Gabriels research into current drift and audio frequency current resonances that occur in speaker cables. These resonances are roughly analogous to standing waves (modals) in room acoustics. The exclusive HARP module acts as a current-mode diffraction device that breaks up these resonances, improving the perceived resolution and coherency of the system.Second-Generation Zitron Technology: Lowers Distortion, Preserves IntegrityThe internationally patented Zitron technology is the most compelling of Shunyata Researchs technologies given its ability to measurably lower dielectric distortion and preserve the original signals integrity. It requires a special type of conductor that has two signal paths and an electric field compensation circuit that creates a cancellation signal that prevents the insulation from developing a charge. Zitron cables have earned a legendary reputation among reviewers, customers, and sound professionals for their ability to eclipse the performance of even cost-prohibitive cables. Caelin Gabriels research has evolved to a second-generation Zitron technology that is making its debut in Alpha Series.KPIP (Kinetic Phase Inversion Process)Shunyata founder Caelin Gabriel developed KPIP after years of research into the underlying causes of various effects such as burn-in, wire directionality, and cryogenic treatment. He discovered an underlying core principle that burn-in and cryogenics only partially addressed. Once the governing principle was understood, it became possible to create a processing technique and machine that could virtually eliminate the need for burn-in and cryogenic treatment.OFE 101 Copper for Unsurpassed PurityOFE 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.ArNi WireArNi® 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 or copper available. It is then formed in virtual hollow tubes, eliminating skin effects and eddy current distortions. And finally, the wire undergoes Shunyatas proprietary KPIP process.Sonic WeldingSimple crimping, soldering, brazing and screws are all inferior methods of joining two wires or terminals together. Sonic welding uses high-energy sonic waves to literally join two metals together at a molecular level and cold-welding uses high-energy pneumatic pressure to bond metals. Shunyata Research uses both methods to secure connections that do not degrade over time. SKU:UTRA1962401D Warranty: This unit comes with a 30 day Music Direct warranty.
