Shunyata Research Omega-X Speaker Cables | Reference Loudspeaker Cable
Shunyata Research Omega-X Speaker Cables are the reference loudspeaker cables in the Omega-X family, engineered for high-current signal transmission between power amplifiers and loudspeakers. They combine 4-gauge VTX-Ag conductors with TAPc technology, HARP, fluorocarbon dielectric materials, platinum-plated terminations, and KPIP v2 processing.
Omega-X Speaker Cables are available in standard, bi-wire, and tri-wire configurations to match the loudspeaker's terminal architecture.

Choose options
Shunyata Research Omega-X Speaker Cables are the reference loudspeaker cables in the Omega-X family, designed for the high-current connection between power amplifiers and loudspeakers. Shunyata specifies 4-gauge VTX-Ag conductors, TAPc, HARP, fluorocarbon dielectric materials, platinum-plated terminations, Möbius Suspension, and eight days of KPIP processing.
Who are Omega-X Speaker Cables best suited for?
They are intended for reference systems where amplifier-to-loudspeaker current delivery, cable-resonance control, and electromagnetic-field control are priorities.
Standard, bi-wire and tri-wire configurations
Shunyata offers Omega-X Speaker Cables in standard, bi-wire, and tri-wire configurations. The correct version depends on the loudspeaker's terminal and crossover arrangement.
Technology
TAPc Polarizer: Shunyata Research's patent-pending Transverse Axial Polarizer couples to electromagnetic fields surrounding conductors and is designed to reduce electromagnetic distortion.
HARP: Shunyata developed HARP to address current drift and audio-frequency current resonances in speaker cables.
VTX-Ag: VTX-Ag combines a pure-silver center core with a concentric outer ring of pure copper.
KPIP v2: Omega-X Speaker Cables receive eight days of Shunyata Research's proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process.
Fluorocarbon Dielectric: Shunyata specifies fluorocarbon for very low dielectric absorption, high dielectric strength, and heat resistance.
Platinum-Plated Terminations: Shunyata specifies platinum-plated fixed or platinum-plated STIS v3 terminations.
