PPRECISION, POWER, AND ULTIMATE
REFINEMENT
Sigma-X Speaker Cables represent an
extraordinary leap in performance,
designed for those who demand
superior audio refinement and
technical excellence. Crafted with
Shunyata Research’s most advanced
technologies, Sigma-X speaker cables
deliver a level of musical immersion
and clarity that transforms any
high-end system.
At the core of the Sigma-X design is
Shunyata Research’s TAPc (Transverse
Axial Polarizer) technology, which
reduces subtle micro-phase
distortions. This results in an
exceptionally clear, open, and
focused soundstage, allowing even
the most delicate musical details to
be expressed with unparalleled
precision.
Sigma-X also features HARP
technology which lowers cable
induced noise by controlling phase
distortions created by signal
reflections and resonances. By
breaking up these resonances, HARP
enhances both resolution and
coherence, bringing a new level of
definition and control to the
system’s overall performance.
Shunyata’s VTX-Ag conductors are
made from both silver and copper
conductors, in a coaxial geometry to
combine the speed and clarity of
silver with the warmth and weight of
copper, delivering a full-bodied
sound that balances impact and
refinement across all frequencies.
Finally, the KPIP v2 (Kinetic Phase
Inversion Process) conditions the
conductors, reducing break-in time
and maximizing sonic performance.
The advanced
technologies in Sigma-X speaker
cables converge to create a sound
that is as
precise as it is immersive,
delivering clarity and dynamic power
that elevates the
listening experience to new heights
of refinement and sophistication.

TAPc
The ALPHA-X features the
all-new TAPc technology. TAP
(transverse axial polarizer)
is a patent pending
technology that Shunyata
Research developed to
improve the performance of
its reference signal cables.
The TAPc technology is a
radical advancement of the
TAP technology that enables
a significant reduction in
the size of the modules –
and for the first time
allows this technology to be
applied to power cords. The
sonic results of TAPc
include a cavernous drop in
perceived noise floor,
effortlessly portrayed
dynamics and a superb
rendering of timing and
coherency. The sonic
benefits of the TAPc
technology are quite simply
unique and cannot be
replicated by any competing
product or technology. Even
to an untrained ear, the
effects of the TAPc are
immediately apparent and
repeatable across a variety
of components and systems.
In essence, the TAPc modules
are force-multipliers that
elevate the listening
experience to a level many
would not imagine possible. |

HARP was discovered
through Gabriel’s research
into ‘current drift’ and
audio frequency current
resonances that occur in
speaker cables.
Theoretically, a speaker
cable may develop current
resonances in the audio
band, being roughly
analogous to standing waves
(modals) in room acoustics.
The HARP module acts as a
current mode diffraction
device that breaks up these
resonances, improving the
perceived resolution and
coherency of the system. |

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.

silver and copper combined |

KPIP
v2™ Shunyata Research’s
proprietary Kinetic Phase
Inversion Process includes
four days of continuous KPIP
v2™ processing which refines
conductor metals at a
molecular level. This
dramatically reduces burn-in
time and significantly
improves sonic performance,
delivering a relaxed and
life-like presentation. When
compared to the original
process, KPIP v2™ represents
a dramatic performance
upgrade on par with a
component-level upgrade. |
