Shunyata Typhon-X

The Typhon-X power distributor combines a maximized version of Shunyata Research’s most impactful patented circuit, the QR/BB, with its advanced TAPc technology. Designer Caelin Gabriel refers to the QR/BB as the “engine” that drives the performance of Shunyata Research’s finest power cable and power distributor designs. Acting as an energy-reserve circuit, the QR/BB makes peak energy more readily available to current-sensitive electronics than the wall outlet alone can provide. TAPc removes additional layers of electromagnetic noise, producing an unmistakable improvement in the performance of amplifiers and other connected electronics. Dynamics become more vivid, transient response more immediate and spatial resolution more three-dimensional. For amplifiers, recording consoles, or other high-current components, the Typhon-X delivers an unprecedented level of performance, whether used only with amplifiers or as a two or three-component power distributor.

The Typhon-X’s custom-designed 30A Amphenol twist-lock power input and its substantial internal wiring system are an ideal platform for high current applications. The Amphenol connector features massive, precision-machined contact surfaces made from solid Tellurium copper. This confers exceptionally low contact resistance to peak energy transfer. To support optimal performance, Shunyata Research also manufactures dedicated 30A capable power cords for the Typhon-X utilizing custom military-grade copper connectors.

The Typhon-X has earned widespread professional and critical acclaim for its high-current capability. Connected to amplifiers or other current-sensitive electronics, the Typhon-X increases dynamic authority, scale and frequency extension while allowing music to play at higher levels without compression or hardness. These are immediate, unmistakable performance traits reported by hundreds of first-time listeners. Musicians and engineers describe a sense of boundless energy, as if a harness has been removed from their monitor systems. In professional audio, the Typhon-X powers recording consoles and the guitar amplifiers of world-famous musicians, both onstage and in the studio.

The Typhon-X can be used with 15A, 20A, or 30A wall circuits and will act as an immediate upgrade to any amplifier/pre-amplifier combination, or even a DAC/phono-stage system.

The proprietary Amphenol inlet connector and outlet connector require power cables that are specifically built for this application.
