Shunyata EU-7, DTCD User Manual

For more than 15 years, Shunyata Research has demonstrated a profound ability to translate its intellectual properties into the material foundation for
state-of-the-art products. Shunyata Research designer Caelin Gabriel’s development of patented science and use of objective measurement has lead to an
entire series of custom-engineered parts that provide the foundation for products that demonstrate measurable advances in power-system performance.
These innovations are the reason Shunyata Research has remained at the forefront of a fiercely competitive industry for almost two decades.

Following are the unique concepts, measurements and custom-designed parts that define Shunyata Research’s successful, outside the box approach to
power-distribution in the recording, film and medical industries.

CCITM (Component-to-Component Interference)

DTCDTM Analysis is a proprietary measurement technique developed to measure
instantaneous current flow through very low impedance electrical conductors
and contacts. It is used to optimize the design of electrical parts and materials
ensuring optimal instantaneous current delivery. DTCDTM Analysis gives Shunyata
Research a clear competitive advantage in the design and development of high
performance power conditioners and power cabling products.

Traditional power conditioners are designed to block noise coming from outside the
home but do not address the noise that is generated by the electronic component’s
themselves. In fact, many conditioners reflect noise back into other components that
are connected to the same power conditioner. CCITM is one of the most significant,
but overlooked aspects to power system performance. Shunyata Research has
developed several noise reduction technologies to control CCITM interference

without using heavy transformers, coils or large capacitors. Shunyata Research
DTCDTM test results indicate that designing electrical delivery systems around the
base concepts of minimized AC impedance, high-quality contact integrity and
maximum conductivity will deliver optimum performance and electrical reliability
across all entertainment and professional sound or recording systems.

avoids the inconsistent and reactive performance that is prevalent with common

one-box power filters and conditioners. Shunyata Research’s CCI filters measurably

reduce inter-component interference and reactance with a corresponding

performance improvement in high-end audio, video systems.

DISTRIBUTED POWER CONDITIONING

Shunyata Research pioneered the concept of Distributed Power Conditioning to solve the problems associated with power line noise at all critical points within audio
and video systems. Home entertainment systems can be very complex involving many components located in multiple locations. These systems may use several
dedicated power lines making it impossible to effectively reduce power line noise with a single-box power conditioner solution. Shunyata Research solves this problem
by intercepting noise at multiple locations in the entertainment system using a variety of methods.

Power Distributors: Shunyata power distributors supply power to multiple components while intercepting incoming power line RFI and EMI. They also address
problematic CCITM (component-to-component interference) with patented and proprietary noise reduction technologies. DTCDTM Measurement Analysis has enabled
Shunyata Research to develop multiple noise reduction technologies that do not compromise instantaneous current delivery.

NR Power Cables: Shunyata Research has developed several “noise reduction” power cables that measurably reduce power supply generated noise. The noise is
intercepted by the power cord at the component power supply and dissipates interference before it has the opportunity to propagate throughout the power system.

Remote Solutions: Shunyata Research also produces single and dual outlet devices that reduce noise. These unique products provide surge protection and noise
reduction for mono-block amplifiers, video projectors and other components that may be remotely located form the main system. The best example of these solutions is
the affordable VENOM DEFENDER which plugs directly into the AC duplex, eliminating the need for a conventional power conditioner and the associated power cabling.

SHUNYATA RESEARCH:
OBJECTIVE SCIENCE AND MEASUREMENT

To achieve optimum noise-reduction without the loss of instantaneous current — or interference with electronic power supplies, Shunyata Research used objective
measurement to guide in the design and manufacturing of its own parts and materials. Following are some of the compelling CCI
