High-Performance Power Distributor from Shunyata Research

by The Audio Beat | February 23, 2022

hunyata Research's new Venom PS10 ($798) was designed, according to the company, to be the "highest performing affordable power distributor on the market." Its ten 20A outlets offer both 24dB of overall noise reduction and triple-wide contacts, which allow the outlets to hold power cords tightly and optimize peak current transfer. The PS10's six-foot integrated Venom NR power cord drops measurable noise by greater than 10dB across all frequencies, and the unit's Carling electromagnetic breaker provides over-current protection and resets with the push of a button. The PS10's custom footers control vibration and static.

The PS10 is aimed squarely at audiophiles and videophiles, Shunyata touting its "improved detail and imaging, smoother highs, and more well-defined lows," along with "better depth perception, sharper color contrast, and clearer images across the screen and from front to back."
