DRIVEN BY SCIENCE
The Omega speaker cables
represent the most scientifically
advanced cable design in Shunyata
Research’s history. More than a
quarter century of research and
development have produced a
masterpiece in both design and
performance. The Omega system
represents a showcase for Caelin
Gabriel’s patented science and
innovative design acumen. The Omega
speaker cables transcend
expectations, delivering a truly
immersive, three-dimensional
listening experience.
When Omega analog
interconnects and digital cables are
paired with Omega speaker cables,
the full realization
of Gabriel’s design vision comes
into focus.
OMEGA
TECHNOLOGY
|
Omega ΞTRON®.
More than a decade ago,
designer Caelin Gabriel
developed the patented ΞTRON®
technology. Since then, he
has continued to refine the
original circuit’s design,
measurably reducing
dielectric-induced signal
distortion to an almost
non-existent level. Gabriel
has developed a more
advanced version of the
ΞTRON® circuit to augment
the Omega speaker cable’s
HARP™ and TAP™ technologies.
The audible and measurable
performance improvement of
the ΞTRON® circuit has
clearly demonstrated its
ability to visibly improve
signal square-wave response.
The impact this scientific
advancement delivers is
startling, even when
compared to a major
component upgrade.

OMEGA HARP™
technology was created
through Gabriel's research
into current-drift and
cable-induced signal
reflections. HARP™ reduces
audio frequency current
transfer function resonances
that can audibly smear
transient response and
obscure low level resolution.
Gabriel's original design
consisted of a
single-element circuit that
had proven to be quite
effective at lowering
perceived distortion while
increasing resolution in
Shunyata Research’s Alpha v2
and Sigma v2 speaker cable
lines. Gabriel developed a
far more complex
four-element HARP™ circuit
exclusively for the Omega
speaker cable. The Omega
“quad-HARP ” audibly reduces
current resonance
distortions throughout the
audio frequency band. HARP™
technology, perhaps more
than any previous innovation,
is responsible for the Omega
speaker cable’s vanishingly
low noise floor,
unparalleled low-level
signal recovery and its
stunning dynamic contrasts. |

TAP (Transverse
Axial Polarizer) is a
patent-pending technology
that reduces signal
polarization distortion. A
simple analogy for Omega
TAP™ is how polarized
sunglasses reduce glare on a
sunny day. The application
of TAP™ technology in the
Omega speaker cables
delivers a significant
increase in resolution and a
drop in the noise floor that
simply cannot be achieved by
another method or technology.
The fact that this
technology is passive and
does not alter or impede
current flow or signal
transfer is in keeping with
Gabriel's core design
principle of preserving a
pure and unfettered signal
path.~ Patent Pending ~ |

KPIP™
(Kinetic Phase Inversion
Process)
Shunyata Research uses its
iconic KPIP™ process to
pre-condition virtually all
conductors and metals in its
cables and power products.
The KPIP™ process elevates
the performance of all
Shunyata Research products.
Due to the massive size of
the Omega conductors they
undergo an unprecedented
8 days of processing,
ensuring that they deliver
optimal peak performance. A
settling period 48-72 hours
is all that is required to
eliminate the effects of
shipping. |

Shunyata’s VTX-Ag cables
are uniquely constructed
with both an inner, center
conductor made of pure
silver and an outer
concentric ring conductor
made of pure copper. It’s
made using the finest
fluorocarbon insulation to
minimize dielectric
absorption and re-radiation
which translates to an
improvement in resolution
and clarity. VTX-Ag delivers
the speed and clarity of
silver and the midrange
warmth and three dimensional
power in the lower octaves
of copper without imparting
any of the negatives
associated with either metal.
– The best qualities of
silver and copper combined |

Möbius Cable
Suspension System
The Möbius Cable
Suspension System is
an integral part to
the performance of
the Omega speaker
cables. It provides
the most advanced
cable isolation and
support solution on
the market. The
Möbius features five
polymer bands that
sandwich the cable
on all sides. These
energy-absorbing
bands have the
unique ability to
dissipate
vibrational energy
that travels along
the surface of the
cable and through
the floor. The
Möbius renders a
significant
reduction in
perceived noise and
time smear, yielding
improved focus,
clarity, depth, and
spatial information.
Eight Möbius wheels
are included with
each Omega speaker
cable pair. One
additional Möbius is
included for each
additional half
meter of additional
length. |

OMEGA
TERMINATIONS
Omega demands the ultimate
in connector quality to
realize its performance. The
Omega speaker terminal’s
base metal is made from the
purest OFE copper and
finished with a pure
platinum plating. These
terminals deliver a
crystalline sonic clarity,
propulsive bass extension
and a rarely achieved
naturally rich tone. |
