Product Information

  Venom
  Shunyata > Power Cables

Like its most expensive sibling the Anaconda, which began as a design exercise to explore performance extremes, the Venom prototypes were an experiment to determine whether a *true* high-performance power cord could be manufactured and sold for as little as $100.

The Venom power cord is the result of a two-year period of obsessive parts refinement and intuitive design execution. Power cords in this price range are usually little more than re-packaged thrift store 14 or 16 gauge wire with an elevated price.

The Venom power cord has custom-designed connectors, gold plating on all contacts, pure OFHC copper, a dual layer shield and on-site cryogenic treatment. No power cord, outside of Shunyata's line at three times the price, even comes close.

Shunyata's Design Approach

As the name suggests, Shunyata Research's approach to the design and manufacture of high-performance power-distribution and cable systems is entirely unique. Caelin Gabriel, founder and former NSA scientist, has introduced innovative technologies that favor a purist approach to "materials science" designs.

Shunyata Research products avoid the current and signal altering effects of conventional filtering and "networks" in favor of proprietary and patented technologies that reduce noise while preserving signal linearity and phase coherence.

Rather than relying on marketing jargon and empty performance claims, Shunyata Research displays and explains every custom-designed element and specialized process used in the development of its products. You can read about, visualize and experience what has drawn the world's foremost recording studios, electronics manufacturers and reviewers to use Shunyata Research products as their power-line and signal cable references.
