Shunyata Research’s Caelin Gabriel
was given a challenge. Create a
design platform that would finally
answer the question, “What level of
performance is actually achievable
from power cord technology?”. Remove
any and all constraints regarding
construction time and difficulty and
ignore cost limitations to produce
the ultimate power cord. The Omega
QR is the result of that research
project that spanned more than 3
years, involving literally hundreds
of tests, designs and construction
solutions. The Omega QR is
essentially a power conditioner
within the confines of a power cord.
The patented QR/BB™ and NIC™
technologies are miniaturized
versions from Shunyata Research’s
award-winning power conditioners.
QR/BB™
TECHNOLOGY
The QR/BB™ module possesses the
ability to act as an electric charge
reservoir, meaning it stores and
releases energy in a manner that
improves a component’s access to
instantaneous current. Dynamics are
actually improved reducing any sense
of dynamic strain often heard from
amplifiers that are connected with
lesser power cables. The sonic
result is a lifelike presentation of
timing and dynamic contrasts in
sound that cannot be replicated by
ANY other means. In layman’s terms,
it acts like a super-charger for
amplifiers, pre-amps, DACs and CD
players.
NIC™
TECHNOLOGY
The NIC™ (Noise Isolation Chamber)
is a patented technology that
reduces high frequency power line
noise. NICs™ use a non-reactive
ferroelectric substance that
actually absorbs high frequency
noise. This allows Omega QR to
reduce noise without any of the
negatives associated with power
filter coils, capacitors and
transformers.
NR NOISE REDUCTION
Shunyata Research’s exclusive NR (Noise
Reduction) technology has been
improved in the Omega QR with better
purity of tone and clarity.NR
technology is a multi-stage filter
network that measurably reduces
power-line and component-generated
noise. It delivers a stunning
background of silence to recordings,
allowing the listener to hear into
recordings as never before. Every
nuance of meaningful content is
revealed, bringing to life music’s
most consequential moments as if the
performers are in the room with the
listener.
The Omega QR represents an
ultimate power cord design template
by which all other power products
must be judged in terms of
verifiable science and performance.
The Omega QR is the barometer of
what is possible when an entirety of
one great company’s intellectual,
science, and parts technologies are
combined into one iconic design.
DYNAMIC TRANSIENT CURRENT
DELIVERY
Every facet of the Omega QR power
cord has been refined to deliver
measurably superior Dynamic
Transient Current Delivery. DTCD™
Analysis is a technique that
measures instantaneous current
through low impedance electrical
conductors and contacts. Shunyata
Research uses it to optimize the
design, specification and
construction of parts and materials
to ensure maximum current delivery
performance. Each part, conductor,
noise circuit and material inside
the Omega QR allows for maximum
throughput of instantaneous current.
Listeners will experience
earth-shaking low-frequency
performance from even the
highest-current amplifiers as well
as dynamic contrasts unheard of
outside of a live event. More than
any other design parameter, Shunyata
Research’s skill in eliminating
resistance and maximizing
peak-current delivery is unmatched.
VTX-Ag
CONDUCTORS
The Omega QR’s VTX-Ag conductors are
the product of a 25-year design
progression steeped in credible
science and definitive measurement.
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. The Omega
QR’s 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.
CopperCONN™ CONNECTORS
CopperCONN’s™ internal metals are
culled from solid copper and use a
high-tension spring-loaded contacts
for vice-like grip. This contributes
to a measurable improvement in DTCD™
performance and a correspondingly
obvious difference in audible
performance. CopperCONN™ connectors
deliver measurably lower-resistance
connections that will unlock the
performance of any component and
system.
TRUE CARBON FIBER HEAD SHELLS
Shunyata Research’s own true carbon
fiber head shell designs come in
three attractive colors/finishes.
These rigid housings reduce
micro-vibration-induced distortion
contributing to the Omega’s
stunningly silent performance.
KPIP™ PROCESSING
Omega QR power cords are treated
with Shunyata Research’s proprietary
Kinetic Phase Inversion Process.
Four days of continuous KPIP™
processing dramatically reduces
burn-in time and significantly
improves sonic performance,
delivering a relaxed and life-like
presentation.
APPLICATIONS
The Omega QR is a legitimate power
conditioner in a cable. The patented
QR/BB™ technology that drives
Shunyata Research’s reference power
conditioners is now available in a
flexible cable that can be plugged
directly into the wall socket. No
intermediate chassis or boxes needed
or the requisite extra power cable;
fewer connections, more floor and
rack space freed up. The ideal
application for the Omega QR is to
power the world’s elite mono-block
amplifiers. The QR/BB™ technology
improves dynamics while the
integrated NR technology reduces
power line noise.
DF-SS Elevators Included
Vibration control is an essential
element in extracting the best
performance from Omega QR. Therefore,
the Omega QR is supplied with
Shunyata Research’s exclusive cable
suspension elevators.
