Shunyata VENOM UK6

The VENOM UK6 is a high performance power distributor designed specifically for the music, film and recording enthusiast, located in regions that require the UK BSI-style mains sockets. High-end home entertainment systems can be very complex and quite costly, yet the performance potential of the entire system can be dramatically affected by the choice of power delivery products including the power distributor. The UK6 has the build quality and reference level performance of much more expensive products.

Sound and recording professionals from around the world agree, Shunyata Research power systems are the finest in their product category.

THE PURIST APPROACH

Many audiophile purists appreciate a straightforward, high quality approach to power distribution without having to contend with the complexity, fallibility and inconvenience of power regenerators and isolation transformers. The UK6’s all metal construction, massive cryogenic conductors, quality connectors, electromagnetic breaker, Trident module and CCI™ noise filter provide by exceptional performance. The VENOM UK6 has an unbeatable combination of performance and value.

ELECTROMAGNETIC BREAKER

Over-current protection is a requirement for today’s high current audio power distributors. The vast majority of manufacturers use an inexpensive thermal fuse or breaker. Both are specifically designed to heat up as the current level rises. This causes voltage drops, increased contact impedance, thermal noise, excessive heat generation and current limiting effects. There is a better solution — the hydraulic electromagnetic breaker that utilises low-impedance relays and a sensing coil that reads the current level without heating up or limiting current. They can operate right up the to the maximum current level without heating up or limiting instantaneous current. They are rarely used in competitive products since they cost 10-20 times that of a common fuse or thermal breaker.  

PREMIUM GRADE SOCKETS

The type and quality of mains socket has a significant impact on performance. The sockets we use in the our UK power conditioners feature massive copper alloy contacts that have superior conductivity compared to brass or bronze used in common sockets and have superior sonic qualities compared to audiophile outlets that use gold, silver, or rhodium plate platings.

The sockets have larger contact surfaces that provides for an incredible grip strength.This improves connection reliablity and DTCD — instantaneous current delivery capacity.

They also have expanded internal air gaps that improve cooling when powering high-powered amplifiers.The internal connection method utilises a high-force clamping mechanism that allows for the use of very large gauge wires.
