Shunyata Research’s Caelin Gabriel was given a challenge. Create a design
platform that would finally answer the question, “What level of performance is
actually achievable from power cord technology?”. Remove any and all constraints
regarding construction time and difficulty and ignore cost limitations to
produce the ultimate power cord.
The Omega QR was the result of that
research project that spanned more than 3 years, involving literally hundreds of
tests, designs and construction solutions. Then, many requested a smaller
brother that was smaller, lighter in weight and more flexible and designed for
source components. And the Omega QR-s is born.

QR/BB™ TECHNOLOGY
The QR/BB™ module possesses the
ability to act as an electric charge reservoir, meaning it stores and releases
energy in a manner that improves a component’s access to instantaneous current.
Dynamics are actually improved reducing any sense of dynamic strain often
heard from amplifiers that are connected with lesser power cables.
The
sonic result is a lifelike presentation of timing and dynamic contrasts in sound
that cannot be replicated by ANY other means. In layman’s terms, it acts like a
super-charger for amplifiers, pre-amps, DACs and CD players. — Patent Number: US
10,031,536
NIC™ TECHNOLOGY
The NIC™ (Noise Isolation
Chamber) is a patented technology that reduces high frequency power line noise.
NICs™ use a non-reactive ferroelectric substance that actually absorbs high
frequency noise. This allows Omega QR to reduce noise without any of the
negatives associated with power filter coils, capacitors and transformers. —
Patent Number: US 8,658,892
Shunyata Research’s exclusive NR (Noise
Reduction) technology has been improved in the Omega QR with better purity of
tone and clarity.
NR technology is a multi-stage filter network that
measurably reduces power-line and component-generated noise. 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.
DYNAMIC TRANSIENT CURRENT DELIVERY
Every facet of the Omega QR 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
the Omega QR allows for maximum throughput of instantaneous current.
Listeners will experience earth-shaking low-frequency performance from even the
highest-current amplifiers as well as dynamic contrasts unheard of outside of a
live event. More than any other design parameter, Shunyata Research’s skill in
eliminating resistance and maximizing peak-current delivery is unmatched.
VTX-Ag CONDUCTORS
The Omega QR’s VTX-Ag conductors are
the product of a 25-year design progression steeped in credible science and
definitive measurement.
VTX-Ag conductors use an outer tube geometry of
the purest form of copper, intended to bring out the purest tone and timbres of
recorded instruments and voice. The Omega QR’s VTX outer core of pure copper
surrounds an inner core of the purest form of silver. This inner Ag core
demonstrably improves macro-dynamics and creates an incredible three dimensional
weight and timing in the lower octaves.
CopperCONN™ CONNECTORS
CopperCONN’s™ internal metals are culled from solid copper and use a
high-tension spring-loaded contacts for vice-like grip. This contributes to a
measurable improvement in DTCD™ performance and a correspondingly obvious
difference in audible performance.
CopperCONN™ connectors deliver
measurably lower-resistance connections that will unlock the performance of any
component and system.
TRUE CARBON FIBER HEAD SHELLS
Shunyata Research’s own true carbon fiber head shell designs come in three
attractive colors/finishes. These rigid housings reduce micro-vibration-induced
distortion contributing to the Omega’s stunningly silent performance.
KPIP™ PROCESSING
Omega QR power cords are treated with
Shunyata Research’s proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process.
Four
days of continuous KPIP™ processing dramatically reduces burn-in time and
significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like
presentation.
APPLICATIONS
The Omega QR is a
legitimate power conditioner in a cable. The patented QR/BB™ technology that
drives Shunyata Research’s reference power conditioners is now available in a
flexible cable that can be plugged directly into the wall socket. No
intermediate chassis or boxes needed or the requisite extra power cable; fewer
connections, more floor and rack space freed up.
The ideal application
for the Omega QR is to power the world’s elite mono-block amplifiers. The QR/BB™
technology improves dynamics while the integrated NR technology reduces power
line noise.
