Two Outlet High-Current Tour De
Force
The two-outlet Typhon T2 represents
a years-long evolution in science
that makes it a one-of-a-kind
product with three dynamic and
unique functions. When the Typhon T2
is connected as a stand-alone
two-outlet reference power
distributor it will super-charge the
performance of even the world’s most
demanding amplifiers. The Typhon T2
also comes equipped to receive an
optional Performance or Reference
level umbilical, allowing it to be
connected in-line to any Shunyata
power-distributor as a performance
force-multiplier of the first order.
Lastly, simple, reference-level two
or three-component systems won’t
find a better solution for
performance than the Typhon T2.
Typhon T2 is guaranteed to elevate
the performance of amplifiers or
entire systems beyond any and all
expectation.
Design Evolution
Typhon T2 represents a dramatic
five-year refinement of the original,
critically, and commercially
acclaimed Typhon and Typhon QR
models. At almost half the size and
price of the Typhon QR, the Typhon
T2 includes two high-current outlets
that allow for in-line connection to
even the most current-hungry
amplifiers. The patented QRBB and
NIC technologies within the T2 have
been radically improved to deliver
an unprecedented performance upgrade
when connected in series with a
Shunyata Research Denali 6000S/v2
model or virtually any other
Shunyata Research power distributor.
Applications
The Typhon T2 model can be used as a
stand-alone reference power
distributor for any type of
amplifier no matter how demanding,
or other remote reference-grade
source electronics. The Typhon T2 is
housed in the same chassis footprint
as the Denali 6000S/v2, making it
easy to stack and connect from the
wall, then via its umbilical to the
power distributor. The T2 can also
be used with the original Denali
6000s/v1 or any Shunyata Research
power distributor below the Everest
8000. No matter the application or
combination, the Typhon T2 will
deliver a jaw-dropping
component-level performance upgrade
to any system, no matter how small
or large the system may be.
Below are common recommended
applications of the Typhon T2
Performance
The revelatory improvements that are
readily apparent when adding a
Typhon T2 to any system include an
immediate and dramatic increase in
dynamic expression; as if you added
wattage to amplifiers or headroom
and scale to your system’s dynamic
capability. The T2 delivers on the
promise of enhanced timing, improved
imaging, and a revelatory increase
in the three-dimensional presence of
instruments and voice in space.
These are not subtle enhancements
but are instead easy to hear,
immediate gains similar to making a
massive component upgrade. Perhaps
the most notable improvement is that
along with all these improvements
comes an unforced, organic ease and
noise-less background which
permeates the space in and around
your favorite recordings. Umbilical Upgrades
Shunyata Research has optimized
every part and technology that goes
into the Typhon T2 with a
single-minded approach to optimal
performance. An obvious case in
point are the two models of
umbilical cables ideally suited for
high-current transfer. The umbilical
connection on the Typhon T2 is a
one-of-a-kind, custom manufactured
military grade twist-lock. This was
chosen for its superior connection
integrity, insuring maximum current
transfer and the ultimate in
performance. There are two distinct
models of umbilical cable options.
The Performance model umbilical,
featuring 8 gauge VTX conductors,
allows the Typhon T2 to dramatically
impact every area of performance.
All of Shunyata Research’s early
testing was completed using this
Performance umbilical. For more
extreme applications, such as ultra
high-current amps or for massive
systems, the 8 gauge VTX-Ag
Reference model will match up well
with systems using Shunyata
Research’s top Sigma or Omega model
power cords. Either power umbilical
when connected and used with the
Typhon T2 will unleash a system’s
full potential.
TECHNOLOGY:
DYNAMIC TRANSIENT CURRENT
DELIVERY
DTCD™ Analysis is a
technique that measures
instantaneous current
through low impedance
electrical conductors and
contacts. Shunyata Research
uses it to optimize the
design, specification and
construction of parts and
materials to ensure maximum
current delivery
performance. Each part,
conductor, noise circuit and
material allows for maximum
throughput of instantaneous
current.
Listeners
will experience
earth-shaking low-frequency
performance from even the
highest-current amplifiers
as well as dynamic contrasts
unheard of outside of a live
event. More than any other
design parameter, Shunyata
Research’s skill in
eliminating resistance and
maximizing peak-current
delivery is unmatched.
QR/BB™ TECHNOLOGY
The QR/BB™ module possesses
the ability to act as an
electric charge reservoir,
meaning it stores and
releases energy in a manner
that improves a component’s
access to instantaneous
current. Dynamics are
actually improved reducing
any sense of dynamic strain
often heard from amplifiers
that are connected with
lesser power cables. The
sonic result is a lifelike
presentation of timing and
dynamic contrasts in sound
that cannot be replicated by
ANY other means. In layman’s
terms, it acts like a
super-charger for amplifiers,
pre-amps, DACs and CD
players.
The NIC™ (Noise
Isolation Chamber) is a
patented Shunyata Research
device that reduces high
frequency power line noise.
It employs a ferroelectric
substance that actually
absorbs high frequency noise
without any of the reactive
negatives associated with
transformers and large
capacitors as used in
conventional power
conditioners.
KPIP™ PROCESSING
Shunyata Research’s
proprietary Kinetic Phase
Inversion Process includes
four days of continuous KPIP™
processing to dramatically
reduce burn-in time and
significantly improve sonic
performance, delivering a
relaxed and life-like
presentation.
MONOLITHIC CONSTRUCTION
One of our fundamental
design imperatives is to
ensure life-long performance
and durability. Long-term
exposure to air can oxidize
and corrode wiring and
sensitive electronic
components. All of the
filters, PCBs, connections
and internal wiring are
contained within a
monolithic enclosure and
then potted with ceramic
materials that hermetically
seal the contents. This
protects the circuits and
wiring from humidity and
oxidation, and eliminates
internal vibration between
components. This unique
construction methodology
delivers exceptional and
consistent performance that
will not degrade over time.
ArNi® Conductors
Shunyata Research’s ArNi® conductors
are designed to be the
finest quality wire
available for power and
audio purposes. They start
life using the highest
purity copper available –
OFE C10100 (or Ohno single
crystal). Then they are
formed into “virtual hollow
tubes” that we call VTX™.
The core of the conductor is
completely hollow forcing
the current to only travel
through the periphery of the
conductor, therby
eliminating skin effects and
random eddy currents. And
finally, every ArNi® wire
undergoes our proprietary
KPIP™ process.
Many audiophile grade
connectors are made from
brass or bronze. While some
may get a plating of silver,
gold or rhodium, the
majority of the current is
carried by the contact’s
base-metal. CopperCONN connectors
contain pure copper contacts
which has a much higher
conductivity that brass. The
difference in performance is
clearly audible.
The CGS (Chassis
Grounding System) is an
internal ground-buss that
uses patented NIC™
technology to reduce ground
plane noise. CGS provides
a common grounding point and
extends the noise reduction
capability of the power
conditioner’s internal NICs
to other electronic
components. CGS helps to
minimize inter-component
voltage differences between
component chassis and may
reduce the hum associated
with ground loops.
