Alpha-X digital cables elevate musical reproduction to levels previously only experienced with first generation, purely analog master tapes. Alpha-X cables are engineered using patented and proprietary technologies that enhance signal fidelity by reducing cable induced jitter that results in temporal displacement and phase distortion.

Many digital systems do not achieve their full theoretical potential due to micro-distortions introduced to the system by the interconnecting cabling systems. Alpha-X digital cables eliminate these limitations, delivering a sound that is unforced, natural, and dynamic. The result is a listening experience that rivals most analog systems, bringing digital recordings to life with newfound depth and detail.

Alpha-X is the perfect choice for those that demand absolutely uncompromising levels of performance.

ArNi® Conductors

Shunyata developed this wire to be the finest quality wire available for audio purposes. The process begins with the highest purity of copper available – OFE C10100 or Ohno ( single crystal ). The conductors are then formed into virtual hollow tubes which eliminates skin effects as well as eddy current distortions. Premium fluorocarbon insulation protects the conductors and minimizes dielectric absorption and re-radiation, this greatly improves resolution and clarity. The wire then undergoes Shunyata's proprietary KPIP™v2  process for optimal conductivity.

Fluorocarbon Dielectrics

These ultra-high quality insulators are usually only found in wire used in the aerospace industry, satellites and the most expensive audiophile cabling. Fluorocarbon has special electrical characteristics; very low dielectric absorption, high dielectric strength and exceptional heat resistance.  When used in audio and power cables these dielectric materials reduce the perception of dynamic compression and improve low-level resolution and overall clarity.

Precision Matched Impedance ( ‌‌PMZ )

The Greek symbol Z stands for impedance. Shunyata's PMZ cables are built to exceedingly tight tolerances to minmize internal impedance fluctuations. Using high-precision manufacturing processes which run at one-quarter speed in order to create conductors with ideal electrical characteristics. This conductor surface variances, dielectric extrusion ( aka insulation ) and precision of the braided shield. This extra attention to detail results in superior signal fidelity, improved low-level detail and greater dynamic impact.
