From Shunyata
ALTAIRA is a six-terminal grounding hub family for chassis-ground or signal-ground systems. The saved specs list six isolation zones, passive operation with no AC power or batteries, pure OFHC copper terminals, aluminum and steel construction, 6-12 dB noise reduction from 3 kHz to 30 MHz, and optional earth-ground isolation on the SG-NR unit.
Specifications
| ALTAIRA Chassis Hub | There are two ALTAIRA models available. Both have six terminals, each with their own dedicated zones of isolation. The is ideal for simple systems that have fewer than six components. The filters at each zone of isolation are tuned to the frequencies most commonly found riding the chassis-grounds of components. |
|---|---|
| ALTAIRA Signal Hub | For more complex systems, the may be used to segregate and isolate certain types of components. For instance, separating the digital components from the analog components will provide a higher levels of performance. Filters are tuned to reduce frequencies that most commonly ride the signal ground of components. |
| NIC™ | 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. |
| CCI™ | filters have the unique ability to reduce component-generated power line noise without inhibiting DTCD® (dynamic transient current delivery). This unique filter element prevents power line noise from one component contaminating the other adjacent electronic components. Shunyata Research’s CCI™ filter modules consist of proprietary multi-stage filters that reduce power supply-generated noise without the use of heavy transformers, coils or large capacitors. |
| Six Isolation Zones | ALTAIRA has six terminals that are each individually isolated from one another. Each terminal is designed to connect to a single component for best performance. Each zone and each component is therefore isolated from one another and from earth-ground common-mode noise. |
| Completely Passive Design | The ALTAIRA does not require AC power or batteries. It operates without generating heat or noise of any kind. No Hum – No Buzz – No Heat |
| Pure Copper Terminals | The ALTAIRA uses the finest pure OFHC copper terminals for best performance. |
| All Metal Construction | No cheap plastic cases here. The ALTAIRA is made from solid steel and aluminum, then powder-coated for a high quality finish that will withstand the test of time. |
| Limited Lifetime Warranty | It is all too common and easy for a company to make wild marketing claims. The true measure of a company’s confidence in their product’s performance and reliability is their commitment to stand behind the product. The ALTAIRA is built to deliver reliable performance for a lifetime. We put it in writing and guarantee it. |
