  Altair
  Shunyata > Interconnects

Shunyata Research's Aries and Aries "S " earned endorsements from the music and film industry's top reviewers, studios and electronics manufacturers, setting new standards for performance and value. The evolutionary design of the Altair Interconnect fulfills Shunyata Research 's promise of cost-no-object performance without the obscene price tag. The Altair utilizes Shunyata Research' s patented Matrix geometry in an open-weave, hand-braided design that virtually eliminates system dependent performance. Despite its massive size, the Altair 's patented geometry eliminates the reactive inductance and capacitance that create variable performance within electronics systems. The resulting performance of the Altair delivers the timing, spatial and dynamic elements of the finest ribbon or silver conductor designs without sacrificing the natural tone and timbre.

Shunyata's Design Approach

As the name suggests, Shunyata Research's approach to the design and manufacture of high-performance power-distribution and cable systems is entirely unique. Caelin Gabriel, founder and former NSA scientist, has introduced innovative technologies that favor a purist approach to "materials science" designs.

Shunyata Research products avoid the current and signal altering effects of conventional filtering and "networks" in favor of proprietary and patented technologies that reduce noise while preserving signal linearity and phase coherence.

Rather than relying on marketing jargon and empty performance claims, Shunyata Research displays and explains every custom-designed element and specialized process used in the development of its products. You can read about, visualize and experience what has drawn the world's foremost recording studios, electronics manufacturers and reviewers to use Shunyata Research products as their power-line and signal cable references.
