The Shunyata Research Theta Clock-50 Digital Clock Cable, part of the Theta Series, utilises advanced technology such as continuous-cast Ohno copper and Precision Matched Impedance (PMZ) to achieve unparalleled signal resolution and precision shielding. With enhancements like the Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIPv2), these cables deliver a natural, life-like sound, effortlessly expressing dynamic shifts and eliminating perceived noise, ultimately providing a cohesive, distortion-free audio experience that exceeds expectations.
Shunyata Research Theta Clock-50 Digital Clock Cable - 1m
With its scientific innovation, Shunyata Research has established itself as a key contributor to some of the world's top recording studios and heart-surgery labs. The Theta Series signal, digital, and power cables are no exception, pushing the boundaries of signal resolution even when compared to cost-no-object products. This means that you can expect uncompromising performance at a price that raises expectations for all products in this category.
One of the key features of the Theta Series is the use of continuous-cast Ohno copper, an ultra-pure conductor that is drawn using heated molds to create a singular crystalline structure. This, combined with the use of a fluorocarbon dielectric and custom-shielding elements through Shunyata Research's exclusive PMZ process, results in tighter tolerances and precision placement of the shield. The extrusion method used for these cables is so precise that the machines must be run at one-quarter speed during the manufacturing process.
For the Theta speaker cables and power cords, Shunyata Research uses VTX and VTX-Ag conductors, both with an outer layer of ultra-pure OFE copper. These conductors, along with the advanced Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIPv2), which conditions the conductor metals at a molecular level over a period of 4 days, result in enhanced performance and a more natural, life-like sound.
The sound produced by the Theta Series cables is simply unmatched. They allow the system to express sudden dynamic shifts in timing and frequency with effortless agility and nuance. The cables disappear, leaving behind a single, coherent voice from your complex system of electronics and speakers. One of the key benefits of these cables is their ability to eliminate perceived noise, bringing out the subtle details and textures in your music. Additionally, the larger gauge VTX conductors add weight, dimensionality, and a room-filling sound-stage.
Advancing Technology
Theta Series signal and digital cable products feature continuous-cast Ohno copper. Ohno copper is an ultra-pure conductor drawn using heated molds that cast the wire into a singular crystalline structure. The Ohno conductors used in the Theta Series are then extruded with a fluorocarbon dielectric and custom-shielding elements using Shunyata Research's exclusive PMZ (Precision Matched Impedance) process. This extrusion method tightens the tolerances of the conductor surface, dielectric and the precision placement of the shield. To achieve these finely drawn tolerances, the extrusion and braiding machines must be run at one-quarter normal speed during the manufacturing process.
Theta speaker cables and power cords feature VTX™ (hollow core) and VTX-Ag™ (pure silver centre) conductors, both with an outer layer of ultra-pure OFE copper for enhanced performance. Finally, all Theta cables are conditioned for 4-days using Shunyata Research's advanced Kinetic Phase Inversion ProcessTM (KPIPv2TM), which conditions conductor metals at a molecular level. Theta Series cables are terminated with Shunyata's custom-designed connectors and cold-soldered terminals. These custom-designed attributes elevate Theta Series performance far beyond expectation, regardless of cost.
The Sound and Fury
Theta cables disappear, allowing the system to express sudden dynamic shifts in timing and frequency extension with effortlessness and nuance. A loom of Theta cables allows a complex system of electronics and speakers to speak with a single coherent voice.
Like their more affordable Gamma Series counterpart, Theta cables imbue the system with an unassailable sense of coherence, as if everything is in focus, without distortion or hard transients. There is an absence of perceived noise, allowing spectral and textural subtlety to come to the fore. Unlike common copper cables, Theta Series cables deliver explosive dynamics and pitch perfect frequency extension, even when compared to far more expensive cables. Theta's larger gauge VTX™ conductors add weight, dimensionality and an expansive, room-filling sound-stage.
Technology
Shunyata Research produces select cables using a Precision Matched Z (PMZ) concept. This means that tolerances of the conductor surface, dielectric extrusion, and the precision of the braided shield are held to minute variances. To achieve these tight tolerances, the extrusion and braiding machines must be run at one-quarter speed during the manufacturing process. (Note: Z means impedance)
Ohno wire, also called PCOCC was invented in 1986 by professor Atsumi Ohno of the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan. Copper wire is created by an extrusion process that pulls a rod of cold copper through a small orifice which creates multiple crystalline boundaries. By contrast, Ohno wire is made by a process using heated molds that cast a wire to form a single crystalline structure. Ohno wire is well known for its exceptionally pure, grain-free sonic qualities.
KPIP v2™ Processing
Shunyata Research’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.
