Proprietary Technologies
TAPc — Transverse Axial Polarizer (35 Elements)
TAPc is a patent-pending technology that couples to the electromagnetic fields surrounding signal conductors, behaving like a polarizer to passively reduce electromagnetic distortion. The sonic impact is unmistakable:
- Profound drop in perceived noise floor
- Effortlessly portrayed dynamics
- Immediate improvement in timing and coherency
- Results consistent across a wide range of components and systems
Even casual listeners can recognize the effect TAPc has upon first listen.
KPIP v2™ — Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (4-Day Processing)
Shunyata's proprietary KPIP v2™ process subjects conductor metals to four days of continuous processing, refining them at the atomic level. This dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance — delivering a relaxed, life-like presentation that represents a dramatic upgrade on par with a component-level improvement.
CMode™ — Common-Mode Noise Filter (Dual Element)
Common-mode noise is different from differential noise and far more difficult to eliminate. Shunyata's CMode filter effectively reduces common-mode noise without introducing the sonic compression effects of conventional filters — delivering analog ease and palpable background silence that closes the gap between digital and analog systems.
PMZ — Precision Matched Impedance
Select Sigma-X cables are manufactured using Precision Matched Z (PMZ) tolerances — conductor surface, dielectric extrusion, and braided shield are held to minute variances by running extrusion and braiding machines at one-quarter speed. The result is a cable with exceptional signal integrity and consistency.
