Shunyata Research's
Constellation Series - Aries interconnect is designed to bring the
high cost of state-of-the-art performance back down to earth. Its
four-year development cycle bears witness to the care, attention to
detail and thorough engineering that went into its design. Despite
intense pressure to release the Aries in earlier iterations, Shunyata
Research continued its development until it exceeded every performance
standard and surpassed every expectation.
Feedback from the world's foremost electronics and speaker manufacturers,
reviewers and recording engineers affirms that the Aries is among
the elite of high-priced cables-without the high-price. Shunyata
Research manufactures the Aries conductors in a true litz configuration.
Unlike some designs called "litz" - a true litz is composed
of individually insulated, micro-fine wires woven to ensure that
each is identical in length. The litz conductors used in the Aries
are configured in an exclusive spiral helix geometry that utilizes
unique isolation strands to minimize cross-talk and self-induced
EMF distortions.
Through extensive testing, designer Caelin Gabriel found that common
insulation materials, dyes and coloring agents subtly degrade the
performance of signal cables, and quickly found a way to eliminate
them from the Aries design. The Aries conductors have an insulation
barrier so thin as to be virtually invisible to the naked eye. The
conductors and isolation strands are then jacketed in a protective
medical-grade, optically transparent outer sleeve.
The RCA locking-style connectors used in the Aries were selected
for their superior contact integrity and performance when compared
to dozens of tested connectors. The balanced and XLR connectors
are the highly regarded Neutrik connectors; again chosen for their
superior contact and performance.
