Shunyata Research's Black Mamba (Pair)
Speaker Cables by Shunyata Research
Manufacturer's Description:
The Black Mamba model Speaker Cables introduce yet another technology to the array of innovations that make PowerSnakes Signal Cables the best performing value in the cable industry. In addition to using a shotgun configuration of eight-gauge aggregate CDA 101 cohergenic conductors, the Black Mamba Speaker Cables benefit from the development of Shunyata's exclusive VTX (Virtual Tube) wire geometry. This wire geometry forms hollow tube-like conductors which dramatically reduce skin-effect and other self-induced distortions inherent in any traditional wire. This advance alone delivers performance that does not exist in or well above the Black Mamba Speaker Cables price-class. Coupled with the Black Mamba's obvious build quality, it's easy to understand why so many industry professionals recommend PowerSnakes signal cables.
COHERGENIC CONDUCTORS
The Cohergenic Process creates copper wires that have an inter-molecular alignment through the use of a Shunyata Research developed electromagnetic field treatment during the extrusion of the wire.
VTX (Virtual Tube Geometry)
Shunyata Research has developed what might be the world's perfect signal cable geometry. VTX wire geometry simulates a hollow conductor, which minimizes inherent inductive reactance and skin effect.
ALPHA CRYO Process
Shunyata Research cryogenically treats all wire and electrical contacts used in the production of its signal cables. A state-of-the-art computer controlled chamber is used to lower the temperature of the contents to -320 degrees fahrenheit. The exclusive, Shunyata Research developed, Alpha Cryogenic Process uses a proprietary combination of gases to enhance the cryogenic treatment.
CDA-101 Copper
CDA-101 copper is the highest purity copper available in the world. It comes with signed certifications that verify its authenticity and purity. This is the only type of copper that Shunyata Research uses in its electrical products, from signal cables to power cords and power conditioners.
- CDA 101 Copper base metal
- 8 awg. VTX Tube conductors
- Shotgun configuration (two cables per side)
** Note: Do not place undue emphasis on the specifications above. Due to applied technologies these cables perform far beyond what their listed wire sizes may indicate.
