Sigma-X Speaker Jumpers (Set of 4)

Sigma-X Speaker Cables represent an extraordinary leap in performance, designed for those who demand superior audio refinement and technical excellence. Crafted with Shunyata Research’s most advanced technologies, Sigma-X speaker cables deliver a level of musical immersion and clarity that transforms any high-end system.

At the core of the Sigma-X design is Shunyata Research’s TAPc (Transverse Axial Polarizer) technology, which reduces subtle micro-phase distortions. This results in an exceptionally clear, open, and focused soundstage, allowing even the most delicate musical details to be expressed with unparalleled precision.

Sigma-X also features HARP technology which lowers cable induced noise by controlling phase distortions created by signal reflections and resonances.  By breaking up these resonances, HARP enhances both resolution and coherence, bringing a new level of definition and control to the system’s overall performance.

Shunyata’s VTX-Ag conductors are made from both silver and copper conductors, in a coaxial geometry to combine the speed and clarity of silver with the warmth and weight of copper, delivering a full-bodied sound that balances impact and refinement across all frequencies. Finally, the KPIP v2 (Kinetic Phase Inversion Process) conditions the conductors, reducing break-in time and maximizing sonic performance.

The advanced technologies in Sigma-X speaker cables converge to create a sound that is as precise as it is immersive, delivering clarity and dynamic power that elevates the listening experience to new heights of refinement and sophistication.

OFE Copper Alloy 101
Shunyata uses only the highest purity of copper available for the production of its wire products.  OFE Alloy 101 or C10100 is the highest grade of copper with a minimum 99.99% purity and a conductivity rating of 101% IACS. OFE stands for oxygen-free electrolytic and supersedes the term OFHC (oxygen-free high conductivity).  C10100 is the only grade of copper that comes with a written certification of purity.

VTX-Ag Cable Geometry
Shunyata’s VTX-Ag cables are uniquely constructed with both an inner, center conductor made of pure silver and an outer concentric ring conductor made of pure copper. It’s made using the finest fluorocarbon insulation to minimize dielectric absorption and re-radiation which translates to an improvement in resolution and clarity. VTX-Ag delivers the speed and clarity of silver and the midrange warmth and three dimensional power in the lower octaves of copper without imparting any of the negatives associated with either metal. – The best qualities of silver and copper combined.

Fluorocarbon Dielectrics
These ultra-high quality insulators are usually only found in wire used in the aerospace industry, satellites and the most expensive audiophile cabling. Fluorocarbon has special electrical characteristics; very low dielectric absorption, high dielectric strength and exceptional heat resistance.  When used in audio and power cables these dielectric materials reduce the perception of dynamic compression and improve low-level resolution and overall clarity.

Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIP) v2
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 KPIP process, KPIP v2™ represents a dramatic performance upgrade on par with a component-level upgrade.
