Shunyata Research Gamma Ethernet Cable - 1.5m

Shunyata Research Gamma Ethernet Cable - 1.5m

There are countless reasons why you should invest in the Shunyata Research Gamma Ethernet Cable. Not only does it represent a paradigm shift within the cable industry, but it also boasts 25 years worth of documented science, experience, and innovation from Shunyata Research. With the Gamma Series cables, you can expect a level of performance that far surpasses any expectations.

One of the key factors that sets the Gamma Series apart is the use of the finest conductors available. These include single-crystal, continuous cast Ohno copper, which is typically only found in much more expensive cables. In addition, these cables undergo Shunyata Research's exclusive PMZ (Precision Matched Impedance) process, which tightens tolerances and ensures precise performance. The extrusion and braiding machines must even be run at one-quarter speed during manufacturing to maintain these high standards.

But what truly sets the Gamma Series apart is its unparalleled sound quality. The word that best encapsulates the sound of these cables is "coherence." The performance is seamless and balanced, with a perfect blend of textural and tonal nuance. Furthermore, these cables are dynamic and explosive, without ever sounding forward, bright, aggressive, or edgy. They effortlessly express frequency extension, timing, and weight in the low octaves, all while maintaining a natural and pure sound. This is made possible by Shunyata Research's proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIP v2™), which refines conductor metals at a molecular level over the course of four days. This not only reduces burn-in time but also significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation.

Driven by Science

Gamma signal and digital cables are made with the finest conductors available. Single-crystal, continuous cast Ohno copper is an ultra-pure conductor normally found in far more expensive cables. Ohno conductors are extruded using Shunyata Research's exclusive PMZ (Precision Matched Impedance) process. This extrusion method tightens the tolerances of the conductor surfaces, dielectric extrusions, and the precision of the braided shield. All are held to minute tolerances. The extrusion and braiding machines must be run at one-quarter speed during the manufacturing process. Finally, all Gamma cables are conditioned for 4 days using advanced Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIP v2™).

Purity In Tone. Dynamic By Nature.

If choosing a single word to encapsulate the sound of a Gamma Series cable system, it would be coherence. Every aspect of Gamma cable system performance simply flows with the ease and clarity of a single voice. Textural and tonal nuance is balanced perfectly against Gamma's explosive, dynamic nature. Gamma cable systems never sound forward, bright, aggressive or edgy. However, what truly separates Gamma cables from all others, regardless of cost, is their self-effacing alacrity, timing accuracy, dynamic punch and frequency extension. Most pure-copper cables, even expensive models, may sound warm, rich, and full bodied at the expense of accurate timing, dynamics and frequency extension. Gamma cables sound very natural, but are surprisingly agile, athletic and entirely unforced with regard to expressing frequency extension, timing, weight and authority in the low octaves. Gamma cables do all of this without calling attention to themselves, allowing the purity of the sound to take centre stage.

KPIP v2™ Processing

Shunyata Research’s proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process includes four days of continuous KPIP v2™ processing which refines conductor metals at a molecular level. This dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation. When compared to the original process, KPIP v2™ represents a dramatic performance upgrade on par with a component-level upgrade.
