Shunyata Research Hydra Talos

Hydra Talos is the result of a ten year research and development cycle intended to perfect high-performance, maximum current power-distribution for film, recording and Audio/-Video industries. The series of material technologies within the Hydra Talos and Triton are exclusive to the designs of research scientist Caelin Gabriel.

Hydra Technical features
MPDA (Multi-Phase Differential Array)
Three years of development using DTCD Analysis and spectrum analysis has produced Shunyata Research's exclusive Multi-Phase Differential Array. The MPDA reduces power line noise without the negative effects of simple capacitors and the current limiting of coils and transformers.

NIC (Noise Isolation Chambers)
Noise Isolation Chambers reduce power line noise in the megahertz to gigahertz range. The NICs are patent pending and utilize Shunyata Research's ZrCa-2000 ferroelectric noise reduction compound.

ZPP-DS (Zero-Point Power Distribution System)
ZPP-DS significantly reduces the number of wires and connection points within the power distribution system. The A.C. outlet contacts and main electrical buss system are unified into a single electrical point of contact, while eliminating the multiple runs of wiring needed in conventional distribution systems. ZPP-DS also eliminates differential metal-to-metal diode-like distortion effects.

VTX Geometry Conductors
Shunyata Research has developed what might be the world's perfect power conductor geometry. VTX wire geometry simulates a hollow conductor, which minimizes inherent inductive reactance and skin effect, improving DTCD instantaneous current propagation.

CDA-101 Copper
CDA 101 copper is the highest purity copper on the metals market. It comes with papers that prove its authenticity. This is the only type of copper that Shunyata Research uses in its electrical products, from signal cables to power cords and power conditioners.
