The Power Distribution Reference
The Hydra Model-8 has been the 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.

When nothing but the best would suffice, the Hydra Model-8 has been the only choice by the professionals. There have been many challengers to the throne, but all have fallen short of the Hydra’s class leading performance.

Announcing a New Champion and Heir to the Throne
Shunyata Research announces the new Hydra V-Ray. The Hydra V-Ray does what no competitive unit could do -- eclipse the performance of the Hydra Model-8. Unprecedented levels of sonic resolution and a stunning black velvet background await the owner of the new Hydra 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 Hydra 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 Hydra 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'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.
