Shunyata Research
's Orion speaker cables are the ultimate expression of
innovation and technology within the Costellation Series speaker
cable line. Although the Orion's conductors sum up to a massive
7 gauge, their patented counter-rotating dual helix geometry
gives them enormous advantages in terms of performance, flexibility
and ease of use.
Unlike many massive copper-wire designs, the Orion will
never sound slow, overly warm, fuzzy or indistinct. Rather, the Orion
propels sound and music with lightning quick transient signatures,
pitch defined low-frequency accuracy and impressive dynamic impact.
Normally these performance traits describe ribbon and silver
conductor designs that sacrifice tonal and timbre realism in
order to accentuate timing characteristics and immediacy in sound.
The Orion presents the precise timing and dynamic elements
of the best ribbon or silver conductor designs while preserving
the body, weight and harmonic texture that are equally important
to realistic sound reproduction.

. Patent US6,242,689
. 8x8 counterrotating, offset helix geometry
. Minimizes inductive and capacitive reactance
True technological advancements in the signal and speaker cable
arena are extremely rare. Usually, there is only flag waving
and obtuse terminology used to spin and conceal out-dated designs
wrapped in a new skin. The Constellation Series speaker cables
are anything but yesterday's news, and come equipped with their
own patent to prove it.
. 8x8 Matrix Geometry
. 16 conductors of exclusive Shunyata CDA-101 copper conductors
. Aggregate 8 gauge cross-section
. Cryogenically treated onsite
As the largest of Shunyata Research 's Constellation series
speaker cables, the Orion is an ideal mate for state-of-the-art
systems that use high-current amplifiers or speakers with nominal
to low-impedance characteristics.
All Constellation Series speaker cables have been exhaustively
tested within the professional, review and audio/visual manufacturing
community, and have enjoyed universal success. Reference applications
of Shunyata's speaker cables within the world's foremost studios,
such as Philips Crest National's million-dollar playback system
in Hollywood, and David Gilmour's Astoria studios in the UK have
been extremely successful. The Constellation Series speaker cables
have also been adopted as references by top electronics and speaker
manufacturers such as Wilson Audio, Halcro, Balanced Audio Technology,
Jeff Rowland Design, Audio Research, Verity Audio and many others.
Few products of its kind have so quickly earned endorsements
and accolades from those at the forefront of professional and
consumer audio/video industries. Reviews from the editors of
Ultra Audio (Greg Petan) SoundStage (Marc Mickelson) and OnHiFi
(Wes Philips) have been extremely favorable and descriptive of
the Constellation Series speaker cables performance compared
to many cost-no-object designs.
