Product Information

  Hydra Model 2
  Shunyata > Power Distributor

The Hydra Model-2 consists of Shunyata Research’s cryogenically treated Venom silver- plated outlets (2) that are hard-wired with Shunyata’s own high-purity CDA-101 cryogentic copper conductors. Shunyata Research’s exclusive Venom noise filtration provides isolation from line and component borne noise as well as low-level spike protection. 10,000-amps of surge and spike protection offer peace of mind without compromising performance. The Hydra Model-2 provides up to 30-amps of clean continuous current, and can be used with any of Shunyata Research’s high-performance Pacesetter power cords.

Applications

The Hydra Model-2 will perform its high-current power distribution and noise-reducing functions with any type of electronics and can be partnered with one of five different PowerSnakes power cords-- to match any application and budget. The Hydra Model-2’s extremely high current capability and two-outlet size make it an ideal choice for mono-amplifiers and electronics that are remotely placed from the main system, such as video projectors, video monitors, phono-electronics, recording equipment, power desk systems, powered speakers etc.

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.
