Helix Series Power cords
 
 
Anaconda   Helix power cable

 

The Shunyata Anaconda power cable is the industry standard power cable and the one all others are compared to.

• Patented 6x6 Helix geometry

Hydra Series Power Distribution Systems
 
 
Hydra   Model-8

 

"Hydra Model-8 has earned its industry-wide reference status as a result of an exclusive design and its tour-de-force complement of innovative technologies.

The Hydra Model-8’s Trident Defense System provides noise-reduction with Shunyata’s best six-element Venom filter array. These proprietary filters protect and isolate each duplex outlet as an independent power-sources -- without current limiting or manipulation. The Model-8’s inner chamber houses the renowned, proprietary FeSi-1002 compounds, which are directly coupled to its massive copper-buss system, enhancing its noise-reducing capability.

Statement-making surge and spike protection is passively implemented and totals a line-popping 40,000-amps of peak current protection. Enormous over-current protection is provided in the form of Carling’s best hydraulic electromagnetic breaker, which protects without compromising performance. Common to all Hydra models is the Model-8’s 20-amp inlet connector, allowing each system and budget to dictate which of the five PowerSnakes PaceSetter power cords will be ideal in a given application.

Applications
The Hydra Model-8 combines high-current capability with Shunyata’s passive form of noise reduction and system protection to offer the perfect all-in-one power-distribution solution. All four of the Model-8’s silver-plated duplex outlets are isolated with their own buss structure and passively filtered, allowing each duplex to be interchangeably utilized for either high-current electronics or noise-sensitive digital equipment.

The Hydra Model-8’s 20amp capability and 8 outlets will accommodate most entire systems on a single AC line. The Hydra Model-8 can be used in conjunction with other Hydra's if there are multiple dedicated lines available. This allows for the complete isolation of high-current and low current electronics on separate lines, while still benefiting from the performance and protection that all Hydra's deliver.

Accomplishments
Hydra series products have accumulated awards such as Stereophile Recommended Component, Stereophile Accessory of the Year (runner-up),  Product Of The Year (HiFi+), SoundStage! Reviewers' Choice (2001 and 2003) and SoundStage! Innovation In Design Award, as well as StereoTimes Most Wanted Component and Publishers Choice Awards.

Unqualified praise has also come from Michael Fremer and Paul Bolin at Stereophile and the Hydra-8 and Model-2 were recently recognized by inclusion in Stereophiles’ Recommended Components section and issue. Countless magazine reviews from across the globe do nothing but add to the Hydra's accomplishments. Praise and awards such as these give most products all they need to succeed, but Hydra's have done much more. Professional endorsements from top recording studios such as Sony Music Mastering (New York), SkyWalker Ranch (Lucas Films), Philips Crest National (US top SACD plant), Astoria Studio (David Gilmour) and renowned recording engineers such as Andy Jackson, Peter McGrath, Ken Takashi, and have verified the Hydra's ability to succeed in all types of systems, large or small."
