What does the upgrade involve? In short, a full internal conversion from Everest to Everest-X, as well as the official Everest-X badge applied to your existing unit. 

For more information on this exciting opportunity, and to learn details about the process and timeline, give us a call at 312-433-0200. To learn more about Everest-X, read on below. 

The Shunyata Everest-X power distributor asks you to imagine music playback free of noise, virtually unlimited in dynamic scope, and laid out for you with a mastering-studio-quality resolution and timing. Then, this flagship device, the most advanced power product the power experts at the Washington-based company ever devised, delivers on those promises and makes the concept of absolute fidelity much more than an illusion. 

Going well beyond the performance of its internationally acclaimed predecessor, Everest 8000, the eight-outlet Everest-X adds an armada of cutting-edge technologies to its arsenal, allowing it to supply unrestricted peak current to multiple components all the while exponentially reducing power-line noise and intercepting component-to-component interference for complete component isolation. You'll hear substantial, across-the-board enhancements to key audiophile areas such as soundstages, noise floors, backgrounds, transparency, coherency, solidity, openness, tonality, and separation. In short, you will experience music like never before.

Equipped with patent-pending TAPc (Transverse Axial Polarizer), Power Harp, patented QR/BB, and patented NIC (Noise Isolation Chamber) features, the tower-shaped Everest-X has six independent zones of noise isolation, Everest-X effortlessly works in systems comprised of digital, analog, and high-current electronics. All eight CopperCONN Platinum outlets deliver exceptional high-current performance and standard-setting noise isolation. You won't have to worry about current delivery restrictions because none exist. Shunyata's DTCD (dynamic transient current delivery) arrives markedly improved across all outlets and prepared to handle even the most demanding amplifiers as well as the most sensitive source gear.

Measuring 20.75 x 8.0 x 14.75 inches (HWD), Everest-X offers exceptional noise reduction derived from Shunyata Research's CIS medical division, which simply translates into sublime low-level resolution. More than 60dB of noise reduction and six zones of isolation contribute to profound improvements in imaging, immediacy, tonality, and focus. An advanced CMode noise filter removes common-mode noise without introducing any undesirable compression of the dynamic range. And the Chassis Ground System (CGS) achieves new levels of ground-plane noise reduction in Everest-X.

Built to last for decades and touting conservatively rated specifications, the 34-pound Everest-X arrives housed in an aluminum-and-steel chassis that itself boasts reference-grade vibration control in the form of internal vibration-dampening panels, AC outlet dampening gaskets, and Shunyata's SSF-50 footers. Our Satisfaction Guarantee invites you to hear this breakthrough in your own home today with a risk-free audition.

TAP Technology
TAP (Transverse Axial Polarizer) is a patent-pending technology developed by Shunyata to enhance the performance of its reference signal cables. The evolution of this technology has led to the creation of TAPc, a groundbreaking advancement that significantly reduces the size of the modules, enabling their application across a broader range of products, including power distributors, power cords, interconnects, digital cables, and speaker cables. The sonic results of TAPc include a profound drop in perceived noise floor, effortlessly portrayed dynamics, and an exceptional rendering of timing and coherency. Even to an untrained ear, the effects of TAPc are immediately apparent and consistently repeatable across various components and systems. 

Power Harp Technology
Power Harp, originally developed to address current resonances in speaker cables, has now been adapted for power distribution in Everest-X. Through extensive research, Shunyata founder Caelin Gabriel identified the presence of current drift and audio-frequency current resonances within power delivery systems, much like standing wave modes in room acoustics. In Everest-X, the HARP module functions as a current-mode diffraction device, disrupting these resonances to enhance resolution, coherence, and dynamic stability across connected components. By mitigating these power system artifacts, HARP technology helps create a more refined, noise free listening experience.

‌QR/BB Device
The ‌‌QR/BB is a patented device that dramatically enhances the perception of dynamic impact and timing when connected to amplifiers or other high-current electronics. The ‌‌QR/BB is unique in that it provides a local reserve of energy, or Coulomb charge, that mitigates the inductive reactance of the AC power line without using coils, transformers, or capacitors. The ‌‌QR/BB acts as an instantaneous energy reserve when placed in-line with an AC power supply.

KPIP v2 Processing
KPIP v2, Shunyata’s proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process, includes four days of continuous KPIP v2 processing which refines conductor metals at a molecular level. This dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation. When compared to the original process, KPIP v2 represents a dramatic performance upgrade on par with a component-level upgrade.

NIC Devices
The ‌‌NIC (‌‌Noise Isolation Chamber) is a patented Shunyata Research device that reduces high-frequency power-line noise. It employs a ferroelectric substance that actually absorbs high frequency noise without any of the reactive negatives associated with transformers and large capacitors as used in conventional power conditioners.

CopperCONN Outlets
Many audiophile-grade connectors are made from brass or bronze. While some may get a plating of silver, gold, or rhodium, the majority of the current is carried by the contact’s base-metal. ‌CopperCONN connectors contain pure copper contacts, which have a much higher conductivity than brass. 

CMode Filter
Common-mode noise is different than differential noise and is much more difficult to measure and eliminate. For the purest signal possible, Shunyata Research has developed a CMode filter that effectively reduces common-mode noise without introducing the sonic compression effects associated with conventional filters. It reduces high-frequency noise distortion while delivering an analog ease and palpable background silence that closes the gap between digital and analog systems.

CCI Filters
‌‌CCI filters have the unique ability to reduce component-generated power line noise without inhibiting DTCD (dynamic transient current delivery). This unique filter element prevents power line noise from one component contaminating the other adjacent electronic components. Shunyata CCI filter modules consist of proprietary multi-stage filters that reduce power supply-generated noise without the use of heavy transformers, coils, or large capacitors.
