Shunyata Research Omega Interconnect Cable

The Omega is Shunyata’s flagship range of cables and has been a long project of research and development by Shunyata’s owner and founder, Caelin Gabriel.

Every part and process within the Omega interconnects was approached with no constraints with regard to time in development, cost, or material refinement. Similar to the multi-award-winning Omega digital cables, Omega analog interconnects set a new benchmark for progressive science and jaw-dropping performance.

Given the price of admission these clearly are not for everybody, but if you have a serious system and the means once you experience what Omega can do for your system and your music there is genuinely no going back.

They are available with either XLR or RCA termination and come by default as a 1.0m pair, longer lengths are no issue

Analogue interconnects are by default 1 metre long and are available in RCA and XLR termination. Longer lengths are no problem, with Omega is costs £395 for every additional 25cm – please note the RCA and XLR cables use different conductors to one another.

PERFORMANCE

Omega interconnects paint a vivid sonic portrait without over emphasising, highlighting or shifting the sound. There is an unmistakable purity of tone that captures the essence of a musical performance. Omega interconnects deliver a stunning sense of realism and dimensional space, as if the recordings had been mastered at 32/384 kHz resolution versus 16/44.1 kHz. Omega interconnects express the subtlest shifts in micro-dynamics while simultaneously propelling explosive bass transitions, all emerging from a background of velvet silence. Whether reproducing the loudest crescendo or the softest whisper, they render sound as if it is untethered to a system of electronics. The music ebbs and flows with a natural, unforced, and grain-free realism that must be experienced to fully appreciate.

APPLICATION

Omega Interconnects are designed to deliver an unprecedented level of performance when paired with state-of-the-art speakers and electronics. The Omega’s unique science and technologies establish a new standard of performance that transcends that of conventional designs.

TECHNOLOGY

‌ΞTRON® is a technology developed by Shunyata Research that prevents dielectric absorption and re-radiation in signal transmission. It requires a special type of conductor that has two signal paths and an electric field compensation circuit that creates a cancellation signal that prevents the insulation from developing a charge. ‌ΞTRON® cables preserve the integrity of the source signal even when using very long runs of cable.
US Patent: US8912436B2 // China Patent: ZL2011800473442 // German Patent: 601011046558.9 // UK Patent: 2622612

 

 

 

For the purest signal possible, Shunyata Research has combined its patent-pending TAP technology (trans-axial polarizer) and CMode filter (common mode filtering technology) into a single hybrid module. The TAP polarizer reduces polarization distortion while the CMode filter simultaneously reduces high-frequency noise distortion, delivering analog ease and palpable background silence that will close the gap between digital and analog front-end performance.
