We proudly introduce the reference ALTAIRA-X Ground Hub and ‘X’ Ground Cable, Shunyata Research’s ultimate expression of ground-plane noise reduction technology. Building on the success of the Product of the Year award-winning ALTAIRA Ground System, ALTAIRA-X represents a bold design progression that delivers a dramatic increase in noise reduction and component isolation. Through advanced engineering and innovative science, these products elevate system performance beyond all expectations. No competing solution, regardless of price, delivers a profound sonic transformation made possible by the ALTAIRA-X hub and ‘X’ Ground Cables.

ALTAIRA-X is an all-in-one eight-post ground hub, providing enough connections for the majority of reference audio systems. Its advanced internal architecture provides an unprecedented level of filtration at every terminal, allowing users to freely mix chassis and signal-grounded components within a single unit. No special configuration is needed; each ground terminal automatically maintains the separation necessary to preserve signal purity and minimize inter-component noise transfer. With Altaira-X, each component operates in an island of calm within the sea of noise that surrounds complex electronics systems.

The ALTAIRA-X Hub is available in Silver or Black.

‘X’ Ground Cables complete the Altaira-X reference grounding system by delivering the lowest possible resistance connection between components and the hub. They achieve this by deploying pure silver conductors, treated with Shunyata Research’s KPIP v2 process to deliver unmatched conductivity, dynamics and resolution. When paired with proprietary TAPc and CMode (Common Mode noise reduction) modules, these cables form the world's finest ground connection to complement the no-holds-barred ALTAIRA-X ground hub.
