The Ultimate in Low-Level Resolution, Preservation, and Purity: Reference-Setting Shunyata Sigma v2 Analog Interconnects Feature Groundbreaking Technology and No Burn-In Time

Take one look at the Shunyata Sigma v2 analog interconnects and you'll immediately see they are not to be taken lightly. Everything about Sigma v2 – from its futuristic appearance to uncompromising construction and state-of-the-art engineering – epitomizes reference. As in reference-setting from beginning to end. Shunyata designed Sigma v2 to stand apart from any other analog interconnect on the market and carry delicate low-level signals with a level of preservation and protection never before seen (or heard). Sigma provides the ultimate in resolution, isolation, and purity. Three patented and patent-pending, state-of-the-art technologies afford Sigma v2 borderline-supernatural abilities.

The first, Transverse Axial Polarizer (TAP), minimizes a form of micro-distortion, simultaneously reducing sonic glare while increasing clarity and coherency. Second-generation Zitron technology measurably lowers dielectric distortion while preserving the integrity of the original audio signal. Shunyata's Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIP) – a pioneering conditioning method that eliminates the need for time-consuming burn-in on your end and elevates the overall fidelity of your system. You will hear invaluable sonic benefits – blacker backgrounds, lifelike detail, inner depth, explosive dynamics, revealing textures – when listening to music with Sigma v2 in your setup. And won't have to wait hours and hours for it to happen.

Loaded with exclusive treatments and customized parts that outshine the construction involved with other cost-no-object products, U.S.A.-made Sigma v2 analog interconnects feature Ohno continous cast copper, massive VTX hollow-core conductors, and fluorocarbon dielectrics. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, they will change how you listen. 100% Music Direct Guaranteed.

TAP: Reduces Sonic Glare and Microdistortion

TAP (Transverse Axial Polarizer) interacts with the electromagnetic field generated by the signal traveling along the signal cable. TAP improves the sonic performance of the cable by modifying the behavior of the electromagnetic wave that surrounds the signal cable. In effect, TAP blocks longitudinal-oriented waves while passing transverse-oriented waves. The effect is like using polarized sunglasses to reduce reflected sunlight. Correcting polarization microdistortion reduces sonic glare.

KPIP (Kinetic Phase Inversion Process): Eliminates Need for Burn-In

Shunyata founder Caelin Gabriel developed KPIP after years of research into the underlying causes of various effects such as burn-in, wire directionality, and cryogenic treatment. He discovered an underlying core principle that burn-in and cryogenics only partially addressed. Once the governing principle was understood, it became possible to create a processing technique and machine that could virtually eliminate the need for burn-in and cryogenic treatment.

Second-Generation Zitron Technology: Lowers Distortion, Preserves Signal Integrity

The internationally patented Zitron technology is the most compelling of Shunyata Research's technologies given its ability to measurably lower dielectric distortion and preserve the original signal's integrity. 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. Zitron cables have earned a legendary reputation among reviewers, customers, and sound professionals for their ability to eclipse the performance of even cost-prohibitive cables. Caelin Gabriel's research has evolved to a second-generation Zitron technology that is making its debut in Sigma Series.

OFE 101 Copper for Unsurpassed Purity

OFE Alloy 101, or C10100, is the highest grade of copper, with a minimum 99.99% purity and a conductivity rating of 101% IACS. OFE stands for oxygen-free electrolytic and supersedes the term OFHC (oxygen-free high conductivity). C10100 is the only grade of copper that comes with a written certification of purity.

ArNi Wire

ArNi is a type of wire created by Shunyata Research designed to be the finest quality wire available for audio purposes. It begins with the highest-purity or copper available. It is then formed in virtual hollow tubes, eliminating skin effects and eddy current distortions. And finally, the wire undergoes Shunyata's proprietary KPIP process.
