Venom V14 Digital Power Cord

Shunyata Research invests heavily in research and development, affording even our least expensive products the quality and performance that have made our reference products worldwide standard bearers.  Venom V14 Series power cords are engineered to deliver on Shunyata’s promise of exceptional value and performance.

The Venom V14 Digital is built on the foundation of the standard V14 power cord, adding Shunyata's patented Noise Reduction multi-stage noise-filtration. This technology removes noise and interference from both the power line as well as from noise generated by the components themselves. Starting with Shunyata's world-class Venom 14 power cable, the molded wall plug is removed and replaced with a larger and higher grade connector which  fits the NR circuit. Venom 14 NR provides a startling improvement in tone, space, presence and power.

Ideal applications include devices that use very noisy switched mode power supplies (SMPS) including computer peripherals, music-servers, NAS arrays, routers, switches, monitors, clocks, up-samplers, digital transports, wall warts, and power bricks.

Shunyata Research’s NR power cords are used within the scientific community, medical imaging and heart surgery labs, and many world-renowned recording studios.

Other cables to consider: The Venom HC v2 with its 10 gauge conductors is highly recommended for use with Shunyata Research’s power conditioners and for high power power amplifiers. For even better performance with CD player, DACs and other source components, Shunyata Research’s Gamma NR noise reduction power cord is highly recommended. 

NR NOISE REDUCTION
Shunyata Research’s exclusive NR (Noise Reduction) technology is a multi-stage filter network that measurably reduces power-line and component-generated noise, producing better purity of tone and clarity. It delivers a stunning background of silence to recordings, allowing the listener to hear into recordings as never before.  Every nuance of meaningful content is revealed, bringing to life music’s most consequential moments as if the performers are in the room with the listener.

DTCD ANALYSIS
Every facet of the V14 Digital power cord has been refined to deliver measurably superior Dynamic Transient Current Delivery.  DTCD™ Analysis is a technique that measures instantaneous current through low impedance electrical conductors and contacts. Shunyata Research uses it to optimize the design, specification and construction of parts and materials to ensure maximum current delivery performance. Each part, conductor, noise circuit and material inside this power cord allows for maximum throughput of instantaneous current. 

HIGH PERFORMANCE CONDUCTORS
Shunyata Research 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.

Certified by ASTM F68 C10100

EXCLUSIVE SHUNYATA RESEARCH CONNECTORS
The Venom V14 Digital features two types of audiophile-grade, molded connectors at the component end made from high-grade brass with the ability to accept 14 gauge power conductors.  These connectors are completely sealed with a potting compound to protect the contacts and wires from corrosion. This also prevents any possibility of the wires becoming loose over time.

At the wall plug, Shunyata uses the same Audiophile Grade Connectors used in their higher level series of power cords. These connectors are made from a high-grade brass-copper-zinc alloy which can accept very large gauge conductors and feature polycarbonate head-shells to provide a lifetime of longevity.

Hermetically Sealed
Shunyata Research plugs are filled with an electrically inert compound that protects the contacts and wires from corrosion.  The compound also ensures that the wires cannot become loose, fray or pull out from the head shell.  This guarantees a lifetime of reliable performance that does not degrade over time.

KPIP™ PROCESSING
Venom V14 power cords receive the same proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process treatment developed for our Reference Line power cables.

Four days of continuous KPIP™ processing dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation.
