Shunyata’s Black Mamba Series has taken the audiophile community by storm. Highly flexible, sonically astounding and surprisingly affordable, these cables have become our best selling Shunyata CX power cable. Built using the same top-quality CDA-101 copper conductors, sophisticated Helix geometry and outstanding connectors featured on Shunyata’s higher models, Black Mamba and the Black Mamba HC bring serious innovation and performance to at new, lower price point. And at this special limited-quality price, these will not be around for long. Don’t miss out!
Black Mamba Series
The Black Mamba series is a two-pronged approach to power delivery; Shunyata has created one cord for source components, the other for high current applications. The Black Mamba is highly recommended for all components, and works especially well with source components such as Digital Players, Turntables, Phono Stages, Preamps and Tuners. The Black Mamba HC, 30% larger than its sibling, is a high current cable designed for current hungry components, like power conditioners, amplifiers, powered speakers and subwoofers.
Black Mamba Performance
We were shocked how good the Black Mamba is, given the high benchmark Shunyata has set with the awesome (and our best-selling) Python CX. On source components the Black Mamba very closely approaches the sonic prowess of the Python CX, offering a surprisingly high percentage of that cable’s staggering performance. The same effortless power, the smooth flow, the warm, yet detailed presentation of its big brother, for about half the price! To our ears the Python CX is still the superior cable, but then we start to think…I could have a Black Mamba and a Black Mamba HC for almost the same price.
Construction
Shunyata CX cables all use CDA-101 copper, the highest quality copper available. Shunyata chose this high-grade copper because it has fewer impurities and is a superior electrical conductor. CDA-101 is very expensive and a large amount of it is required to build Shunyata CX cables. 140 individual CDA-101 conductors are wound into Shunyata’s revolutionary and patented counter-rotating Helix geometry, which cancels noise and external interference, simultaneously improving current flow. Shunyata uses custom-made high-copper content brass AC plugs for high durability and excellent conductivity. All Shunyata CX cables are hand terminated and built here in the US!
Cryogenic Treatment
All Shunyata CX cables are Cryogenically treated, a process which provides noticeable, substantial and permanent beneficial effects. Over a period of 72Hrs, Shunyata uses liquid nitrogen to slowly lower the temperature inside the chamber to a chilly -320 Fahrenheit, then returns the item to room temperature. Shunyata is one of only a few audio manufacturers who owns their own Cryogenic chamber and they are one of the few to Cryo virtually all of the components used in their products.
