The Shunyata Research Base Ground Cables are designed to be used with their Altaira Grounding Hub, they can be used on both the Chassis Ground and Segmented Ground Hubs

Anyone vaguely familiar with Shunyata Research will see the same theme running through the ground cables, all base ground cables are 1.0 metre long by default, longer lengths are available to order.

Gamma £225 (£18m per extra 0.25m)

Delta £300 (£22 per extra 0.25m)

Alpha X £400 (£32 per extra 0.25m)

Sigma X £900 (£75 per extra 0.25m)

Omega X £1250 (£80 per extra 0.25m)

Their construction and the materials used differ as you move up through the range of cables. Gamma and Theta are based around Shunyata’s VTX conductor technology, using very high purity copper (C10100 – the only copper to come with a written certification of purity), the conductors are arranged in a tube like pattern with a hollow core.

When you move up to Alpha X, Sigma X and Omega X the conductors change to VTX-AG, which uses a mixture of both copper and silver, the outer core is Copper (like the standard VTX), but this outer core surrounds a silver inner core (again made of a high purity silver), this change results in a more dynamic presentation and also improves timing and bass textures/response.

All ground cables come by default terminated spade to banana, this is perfect to connect from the Altaira to your Shunyata power conditioner, or to a chassis ground terminal or screw, spade to spade or banana to banana can be ordered if required.

If you need to connect to an unused input/output on a component you will require a ground tail which connects to the banana end of the ground cable, termination options are RCA, XLR (both male and female), BNC, RJ45 and USB (both Type A and Type B)

Ground Tails are £200 each.

With the VTX AG Ground Tails there is also an option for an AC Wall Plug Adapter – useful for those using an Altaira who do not owner a Shunyata Power Conditioner, this is £125.00.

All ends are interchangeable by the end user and all you need is the supplied allen key.
