Synergistic Research
Californian maker founded in 1992 by Ted Denney, working across cables, power, fuses and room acoustics. Synergistic take an unusually broad view of what affects a system, including the room itself.
About Synergistic Research
Quick Access
A company that treats the room as part of the system
Synergistic Research cover more ground than most cable companies. Alongside cables and power products they make fuses, grounding systems, and the HFT range of High Frequency Transducers, small devices that address room acoustics without using conventional absorption panels.
The unifying idea is that a system is affected by more than the signal path: by the electrical environment, by the mechanical one, and by the room. Whether you accept all of that is a matter for your own listening, and Synergistic products vary in how readily they demonstrate themselves. The cables and power products are the most conventional part of the range and the easiest place to start.
Theodore Denney founded the company in 1992 and still leads the design work. It started in a 1,200 square foot industrial unit and now runs from a 13,000 square foot factory in Southern California, where the products are still built by hand.
The technologies are developed in-house. Active Shielding is the oldest and the most distinctive: a small power supply biases the cable's shield rather than leaving it passive, and the same principle drives the actively biased electromagnetic cells inside the PowerCell conditioners. Cables and outlets also receive a two-stage Quantum Tunneling treatment during manufacture. UEF, short for Uniform Energy Field, is the framework Denney uses to tie the range together.
The fuses have become one of the better-known parts of the line, with a colour-coded ladder running up through the range.
Browse by Range
Foundation, Atmosphere, Galileo and SRX are the cable levels in ascending order. The fuses, PowerCell distributors and HFT room treatment products sit outside that ladder and work with any system.

£1,579.17Ex. VATThe Synergistic Research FEQ Carbon is a third-generation, two-channel acoustic field generator. New to the FEQ Carbon is a wholly redesigned PCB with dual RF generators. The first function of the redesign was to provide the ability to create different wave shapes, and the second was the addition of a 2nd, independently controlled ULF generator channel.

The goal of the PowerCell 8 UEF was to create a non-current limiting, compact power conditioner to rival the world’s best sounding, largest, and most expensive line conditioners. For the PowerCell 8 UEF Synergistic Research adapted their 6th generation electromagnetic cell, originally engineered for the new PowerCell 12 UEF, to fit a compact chassis. Synergistic Research's patented EM Cell Technology now features Graphene—a near superconductor at room temperature—to deliver clean unlimited power filtered outside of the signal path through an active inductive process.
