Hydra Model-6 incorporates all of the innovative design and technical elements -- save Shunyata's ZrCa-2000 compounds -- that have earned the Hydra-8 its unprecedented array of critical awards and professional endorsements. Shunyata's six cryogenically treated SR-Z1 outlets are connected to the Hydra-6's specialized CDA 101 copper buss straps, eliminating all point-to-point wiring.

The Hydra Model-6 Trident Defense System provides noise-reduction with Shunyata's best five-element Venom filter array, isolating and protecting each duplex outlet as independent power-sources.

Statement-making surge and spike protection is passively implemented and totals a line-popping 40,000-amps of peak current protection. Rounding out the Hydra-6 package is enormous over-current protection in the form of Carling's best hydraulic electromagnetic breaker. Common to all Hydra models, is the Model-6's 20-amp inlet connector, allowing each system and budget to dictate which of the five PowerSnakes PaceSetter power cords will be ideal in a given application.

APPLICATIONS
The Hydra Model-6 delivers virtually unlimited user flexibility by combining high-current capability with Shunyata's passive form of noise reduction and system protection. Because the three SR-Z1 duplex outlets are isolated with their own buss structure and filtered, they can be interchangeably utilized for either high-current electronics or noise-sensitive digital equipment.

What remains constant throughout the Hydra series is the extreme customization and attention to detail paid to each part and innovative process. Even casual comparisons to the Hydra's SR-Z1 outlets, massive system protection, current-handling capacity and custom-designed noise filtration will leave no question unanswered.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Hydra series products have accumulated awards such as Product Of The Year (HiFi+), SoundStage! Reviewers' Choice (2001 and 2003) and SoundStage! Innovation In Design award, as well as StereoTimes Most Wanted Component award. Unqualified praise from top writers at Stereophile (Recommended Components) and other magazines across the globe do nothing but add to the Hydra's legend. Praise and awards such as these give most products all they need to succeed, but Hydra's have done much more. Professional endorsements from top recording studios such as SkyWalker Ranch (Lucas Films), Philips Crest National (US top SACD plant), Astoria Studio (David Gilmour) and renowned recording engineers such as Andy Jackson and Ken Takashi have verified the Hydra's ability to succeed in all types of systems, large or small.

Alpha Cryogenic Process.

All Hydra's operate on a principle of component-to-component noise isolation. Each component in an entertainment system generates noise which is kicked-back upon the other components. The Hydra uses a VF noise filter at each outlet to neutralize and dissipate the noise. The Hydra Model-6 provides near Hydra Model-8 performance at half the cost.
