SHUNYATA - HYDRA V-RAY POWER CONDITIONER

Shunyata Hydra V-Ray... The New Reference Power Conditioner!

The Power Distribution Reference:
The Hydra Model-8 has been a power distribution reference for several years. It has won numerous industry awards while quietly being installed by virtually all the top recording studios and is used as a reference by the audio industry’s top equipment manufacturers.

Shunyata Announces a New Champion and Heir to the Throne:
Shunyata Research announces the new Hydra V-Ray. The V-Ray absolutely eclipses the performance of the Hydra Model-8. Unprecedented levels of sonic resolution and a stunning black velvet background await the owner of the new Shunyata V-Ray.

The Making of a Champion:
All Hydra’s were designed to deliver massive amounts of current while reducing noise to infinitesimally small levels. The Shunyata Research designed Venom Filters eliminate and isolate noise generated by the audio/video components themselves and protects the components from power-line surges and transients.

The V-Ray retains all of the great qualities of the Hydra Model-8 including the Venom Filter technology. After two years of research, capacitive filtering technology has been taken to the outer extremes of performance with the advent of Shunyata Research’s new Venom-Array Technology. The Venom-Array is a proprietary 24-element capacitive array designed and tuned to extend the Hydra philosophy to its outer limits of performance.

The V-Ray includes a new power-distribution buss system. Made from pure CDA-101 copper, the new buss system improves resolution by reducing eddy-currents and waveform reflections.

The Hydra V-Ray is the ultimate expression of Shunyata Research’s passion and unending search for musical truth and perfection.

Shunyata V-RAY proprietary innovations:

Improved Buss Structure:
Customized copper buss bars lower junction impedance and deliver current faster! New improved proprietary method of attachment for the buss bars. New optimized filtering for more effective unimpeded current flow

24 Element Venom Filter Array at the Buss Structure:
To block noise at the power source and lower the noise floor, Shunyata has optimized their filter network efficiency for unimpeded current flow. Anything that might get passed the Venom Filter Board is stopped here.

16 Element Venom Noise Filter:
Designed to filter internal and external noise away from the A/C line.

Trident Defense System:
It’s the same philosophy as the Hydra 8, but with customized electro magnetic breakers.
