From Shunyata
Eiger-X is a shorter tower power distributor with 3 isolation zones, a C19 inlet, and 6 outlets or sockets depending on region. Its source specs list TAPc, QR/BB, NIC, CCI, GPNR, KPIP v2, and Shunyata polymer footers, plus 2 rear ground posts tied to the Ground Plane Noise Reduction System.
Specifications
| TAPc | (Transverse Axial Polarizer) is a patent-pending technology that couples to the electromagnetic fields surrounding electrical or signal conductors. TAPc behaves like a polarizer, passively reducing electromagnetic distortion that presents as a type of glare or compression on sound or images. |
|---|---|
| QR/BB | ™ is a patented technology which acts as an instantaneous energy reserve when placed in-line with an AC power supply. It dramatically enhances the perception of dynamic impact, timing and scale in sound when connected to amplifiers or other analog-output electronics. ~ Patent: US 10,031,536 ~ |
| KPIP v2 | Shunyata Research’s proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (™) refines conductor and terminal metals at the atomic level. This dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation. |
| NIC | The ™ (Noise Isolation Chamber) is a patented technology that reduces high frequency power line noise. It absorbs high frequency noise without any of the reactive negatives associated with transformers, chokes, coils or large capacitors used in more conventional power conditioners. ~ Patent US 8,658,892 ~ |
| GPNR | (Ground Plane Noise Reduction) is an advanced ground noise filtering system derived from our Altaira ground hubs. GPNR provides continuous ground-plane noise reduction and dramatically lowers the system’s noise floor, preserving clarity, enhancing timing precision, and revealing subtle musical and spatial detail. |
| CCI | ™ filters have the unique ability to reduce component-generated power line noise without inhibiting DTCD® (Dynamic Transient Current Delivery). This unique micro-filtering approach prevents power line noise from one component from contaminating other electronics in the system. |
| DTCD | ® Analysis is a proprietary measurement technique developed to measure instantaneous current flow through very low impedance electrical conductors and contacts. It is used to optimize the design of electrical parts and materials, ensuring optimal instantaneous current delivery. |
