Shunyata Research
"Śūnyatā" (Sanskrit): The void from which all life emerges; the ultimate reality.
Founded in 1997 and based in Poulsbo, Washington State, Shunyata Research works at the frontier of science & technology in its pursuit of absolute silence.
Meet the Founder & CEO
Caelin Gabriel is a former US military research scientist with a background in the research and design of ultra-sensitive data-acquisition systems.
Improve any system
Some things in high-end are a matter of taste. Shunyata Research is not. Every product is engineered for noise reduction and the purest signal fidelity. It doesn’t matter what else is in your system - Shunyata’s cables and power distributors are guaranteed to reduce noise and bring out the best in every component.
Power Cables
“It’s like even the quietest electronics have more to give, and even the quietest power feed has noise to be removed… brings out the best in the kit you have, whatever kit you have.”

Power Distributors
“The Denali is one of the rare exceptions: you put it in the system, and the system immediately sounds better… job done, open wallet and extract money.”

Digital Cables
“…completely re-set expectations for the category because of their ability to reveal fine layers of detail and dynamic content in sound from the world’s finest digital front end components.”

Proven in the medical field
Rarely can a hi-fi brand claim to save lives, but Shunyata Research is certainly helping through its sister company Clear Image Scientific. Dr. Daniel Melby of Abbot Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis explains how Shunyata’s noise reduction technology allows him to view a heart’s electrical signal with much greater clarity, leading to better patient outcomes.
Pro Audio
Shunyata Research products have been critically endorsed by those at the forefront of the world’s finest mastering labs and recording studios; used for the remastering of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon and many other seminal recordings. From legendary Record Producer Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La, to the sound-stage at SkyWalker Ranch, Shunyata Research power and signal systems are considered essentials by the world’s finest studios.
“… the Denali is one of those products that is universally well received in the high-end fraternity. Because it’s damn good!”

Omega QR-s Power Cable
“I expected quiet backgrounds (it’s a Shunyata thing) but they fall away still further than anticipated with Omega QR-s. It’s like even the quietest electronics have more to give, and even the quietest power feed has noise to be removed. Omega QR-s does that brilliantly. Actually, ‘brilliantly’ is not the right word, as there is no additional ‘brilliance’ to the sound. The tonality of the system remains unchanged… Omega QR-s just brings out the best in the kit you have, whatever kit you have.”

Decades of commitment to research in materials science are evident in Shunyata’s growing list of proprietary technologies and several patents.
