Audio sistem možete koristiti i bez filtracije mrežnog napona, ali to ne znači da vam ona ne treba.
Tvrtku Shunyata research utemeljio je bivši vojni znastvenik Caelin Gabriel 1997. godine, s ciljem konstruiranja filtera mrežnog napona i kabela za sve audio namjene koji će ukloniti sve negativne efekte koje šum i izobličenja u električnoj mreži i oko nje unose u audio i video sisteme visoke rezolucije.
Vođena Gabrielovim znanstvenim pristupom, mjerenjima i brojnim patentima, Shunyata je izrasla u tvrtku omiljenu među vrhunskim profesionalcima. Većina Shunyatinih proizvoda ručno se izrađuje u Washingtonu, SAD, a tim se sastoji od mahom od tehničara koji su u Shunyati od samog početka.
Zahvaljujući patentiranoj primjeni znanosti i mjerljivim napretkom u prijenosu signala, proizvodi Shunyata Researcha zaslužili su primjenu u mnogim vrhunskim studijima za snimanje, mastering i filmsku produkciju. No isto tako i u kirurškim dvoranama i bolnicama koje ovise o visokoj rezoluciji signala i što je moguće čistom prikazu slike.
Neka od imena koja koriste Shunyata proizvode – Mobile Fidelity (Sebastopol, Ca.), Astoria UK (Pink Floyd), SkyWalker Sound, Sony Music (Japan), Shangri-la Studio (Rick Rubin), Das Boot Studio (James Guthrie), Peter McGrath (Recording Engineer), Phillips Crest National Studio (Hollywood), New Jersey Philharmonic, i mnogi drugi.
Shunyata Research power cables and
interconnects made a remarkable difference in my reference system. These
are not subtle tweaks — a far bigger difference than any other cables
have made and in many cases, as unbelievable as it may seem, a greater
improvement than changing the whole front end. I could not recommend
them highly enough.

We first put the Shunyata products to test on a monitor system that had problems with noise and clarity. The result was less noise with an improvement in overall sound quality. We now use the Hydra’s on our Model 2 converters, AES router and main monitor system consisting of B&W 802 speakers and Chord Amps.

We were particularly impressed with the sense of phase coherence that Shunyata products delivered, giving noticeably better imaging, depth and clarity. We tried many different areas of our signal path, all benefited. With digital sources it was almost as if we had switched from 44.1k/16 bit to 96k/ 24 bit. We now run all our analogue machines, workstations and the mixing console from the Shunyata equipment.
