POWER DISTRIBUTOR TECHNOLOGY
No Hum, No Buzz, No Heat
Shunyata Research power distributors are meticulously engineered to be the most noise-isolated, finely calibrated products in their class. Unlike traditional “power conditioners,” Shunyata's innovative, passive, and patent-protected designs deliver an unrestricted flow of instantaneous current (DTCD®) while achieving unparalleled noise reduction for both power line and component-generated interference. This is made possible by Shunyata's proprietary CCI™ (Component-to-Component) filtering system and its multi-layered approach to passive noise reduction.
Over its 20-year history, Shunyata Research has developed a comprehensive suite of custom-manufactured technologies, including filters, bus systems, conductors, outlets, noise isolation chambers, and breakers. These innovations ensure the highest level of performance in its power distributor designs. The profound noise reduction achieved by Shunyata’s power distributors has made them indispensable in critical applications, from life-saving heart surgery systems to world-class recording and mastering studios.
With proven patents, measurable results, and endorsements from thousands of professionals across multiple industries, Shunyata Research power distributors have become the most in-demand products of their kind, setting the standard for excellence in power distribution.
The NIC™ (Noise Isolation Chamber) is a patented Shunyata Research innovation designed to reduce high-frequency power line noise. Utilising a ferroelectric material, it absorbs noise without the reactive drawbacks of transformers or large capacitors found in traditional power conditioners.

The QR/BB™ is a patented device that significantly enhances dynamic impact and timing in amplifiers and other high-current electronics. It provides a local energy reserve, or Coulomb charge, to counteract the inductive reactance of the AC power line—without relying on coils, transformers, or capacitors. Positioned in-line with an AC power supply, the QR/BB™ serves as an instantaneous energy source.

The ZrCa-2000™ is a proprietary ferroelectric crystalline compound used in NICs to absorb and dissipate high-frequency noise in power conditioners and power supplies. Unlike ferrite, which affects the magnetic field and often degrades sound quality, ZrCa-2000™ acts on the electric field without introducing negative sonic side effects.

DTCD® Analysis is a proprietary measurement technique developed by Shunyata Research to evaluate instantaneous current flow through low-impedance electrical conductors and contacts. This method optimises the design of electrical components, ensuring exceptional instantaneous current delivery. DTCD® Analysis offers a clear competitive advantage in the creation of high-performance power delivery products.
