The insulation that protects wire
can create a ghost-like signal that
subtly blurs the source audio signal.
The scientific term for this is:
dielectric absorption and
re-radiation. ΞTRON® is a
technology developed by Shunyata
Research that prevents this type of
signal cable micro-distortion. It
requires a special type of conductor
that has two signal paths. An
electric-field compensation circuit
creates a contra-signal that
prevents the insulation from
developing a charge. ΞTRON® ™cables
preserve the integrity of the source
signal even when using very long
cable runs are required. Multiple

Transverse Axial Polarizer is
a device that interacts with the
electromagnetic field generated by
the signal traveling along the
signal cable. TAP affects the
behavior of the electromagnetic wave
that surrounds the signal cable. In
effect, the TAP blocks
longitudinal-oriented waves while
allowing transverse-oriented waves.
The effect in sonic terms is like
using polarized sunglasses to reduce
reflected sunlight. Correcting
polarization micro-distortion
reduces what some call sonic glare.

ArNi® wire was designed by
Shunyata Research to be the finest
quality wire available. It begins
with the highest purity of copper
and silver metals available,
including Ohno (single crystal),
PCOCC silver and OFE C0101
conductors. Fluorocarbon dielectrics,
usually only found in aerospace
applications that have exceptional
electrical characteristics including
extremely low dielectric absorption,
high dielectric strength and superb
heat resistance. When used in
digital wiring it significantly
reduces transient energy storage and
release which affects phase noise
performance. And finally every cable
undergoes our proprietary KPIP™
process.
VTX™ — Shunyata Research’s
exclusive VTX™ conductors are formed
into a virtual tube with the core of
the conductor being hollow. This
ensures that all the current flows
through the outer periphery of the
conductor which minimizes skin
effects and random eddy currents.
VTX™ conductors are made with single
crystal Ohno, certified OFE or
silver wire. Superior by design
Ohno wire, also called
PCOCC was invented in 1986 by
professor Atsumi Ohno of the Chiba
Institute of Technology in Japan.
Copper wire is created by an
extrusion process that pulls a rod
of cold copper through a small
orifice which creates multiple
crystalline boundaries. By contrast,
Ohno wire is made by a process
using heated molds that cast a wire
to form a single crystalline
structure. Ohno wire is well known
for its exceptionally pure,
grain-free sonic qualities.
Single-crystal purity
Kinetic Phase Inversion
Processing was developed by
Caelin Gabriel after years of
research into the underlying causes
of various effects such as burn-in,
wire directionality and the effects
of cryogenic treatment. He
discovered that there was an
underlying core principle that
burn-in and cryogenics only
partially addressed. Once the
governing principle was understood
it became possible to create a
processor that reduces the need for
long burn-in periods and eliminates
the effects of cryogenic treatment.
Four-days of continuous KPIP™
processing dramatically reduces the
sonic ups and downs associated with
burn-in, delivering a relaxed and
natural presentation.
