The D6 deservedly takes it place in our Performance Line of power distributors. For the first time Shunyata Research has incorporated its finest, most exclusive technologies into a package priced so affordably that it will redefine value well beyond its price. The Hydra Delta D6's unheard of combination of measurable noise reduction, patented science, exclusive parts and limited life-time warranty will be impossible to find outside of Shunyata Research's meticulously hand-crafted line of reference power distributors.
True to form, Shunyata Research wasted no time in applying its finest patented technologies and performance features previously available only in Hydra Triton v2 and Hydra Denali models into the affordable Hydra Delta D6 outlet model.In addition to offering enough outlets to power any complex system, the Hydra Delta D6 delivers a staggering > 40dB @ 1mHz. By any standard the performance of this unit represents a new benchmark for performance at and well beyond its retail price. The Hydra Delta D6 deliver all this performance along with Shunyata Research's signature DTCDﾮ (Dynamic Transient Current Delivery) technology, allowing it to be paired with an unlimited variety of electronics including high-current amps, projectors, digital front ends and entire systems. The Hydra Delta D6 outlets are supported by Shunyata's own cable-cradle system for the ultimate in grip and protected connection. The unit comes equipped with Shunyata Research's finest Trident-Defense protection system, backed up by an uncompromising Limited Lifetime Transferable Warranty. High-performance internal ground isolation, stainless steel feet and vibration isolation all come standard on a unit designed to raise expectations for performance and value.
Applications
The Hydra Delta D6 has six outlets. The unit has no limitations with DTCDﾮ (instantaneous current) and is rated at a full 20A (16A on EU model). All outlets are extremely high-current capable. The Hydra Delta D6 will deliver reference-caliber performance for all systems, whether primarily film, music, sound or recording. Raising the bar for performance, value and customer satisfaction has been the driving force behind the design of Shunyata Research's products for 20 years. The Hydra Delta D6 is the embodiment of Shunyata Research's enormous progress toward those ideals.
DTCDﾮ DESIGNED (Dynamic Transient Current Delivery)
The Hydra Delta D6 was designed using Shunyata Research's DTCDﾮ analyzer. DTCDﾮ Analysis measures instantaneous current through extremely-low impedance electrical conductors and contacts. Shunyata Research uses it to optimize the design and performance of our power conditioners and power cabling.
CCI NOISE REDUCTION
Traditional power conditioners are designed to block incoming noise from outside the home but they do not address the noise that is generated by the electronic components themselves. In fact, most conditioners reflect noise back into other components connected to the power conditioner. CCI (Component-to-Component Interference) is one of the most significant but often overlooked aspects to power system performance. Shunyata's CCI filter consists of a proprietary multi-stage filter that reduces electrical noise and power supply generated interference.
NIC NOISE REDUCTION
The NIC (Noise Isolation Chamber) is a patented technology that reduces high-frequency power line noise. NICs use ferroelectric substances that actually absorb high-frequency noise. This allows the Hydra Delta D6 power distributor to reduce noise without any of the negative interactions associated with conventional power conditioner designs.

GP-NR NOISE REDUCTION
When it comes to reducing noise, engineers focus primarily on the AC electrical lines, with little if any thought given to the ground lines. The incoming ground line and the internal power conditioner ground plane can actually act as antennae, drawing in electrical noise that may interfere with the operation of the connected components. Ground Plane Noise Reduction is a proprietary technology developed by Shunyata Research to significantly reduce interference caused by this phenomenon, thereby providing a more pure audio experience.
HIGH CURRENT CAPABILITY
The Hydra Delta D6 is rated at a full 20 Amps of continuous current (16 Amps on EU model), ensuring unfettered power delivery to complex entertainment systems, including those with high-powered amplifiers. Advanced electromagnetic breakers in addition to massive buss and 8-gauge ArNiﾮ conductors provide exceptional dynamic contrast and bass impact.
HYDRAULIC ELECTROMAGNETIC BREAKER
Common power conditioners use fuses or thermal breakers for over-current protection. When heavily loaded, they may cause voltage drops, increased contact impedance, thermal noise, excessive heat generation, and current-limiting effects. The Hydra Delta D6 uses a more advanced solution called a hydraulic electromagnetic breaker that operates right up to the maximum current rating without the limitations of fuses or thermal breakers.
HIGH-QUALITY OUTLETS
The US and Asian model Hydra Delta D6 power distributors include Hubbell outlets that use a triple-wipe contact system and have broad contact areas to grip a plug from three different sides, providing superior electrical integrity. Hubbell outlets feature a solid brass back-strap that ensures a reliable ground connection that may reduce noise and hum. The European model Hydra Delta D6 includes Euro-style mains sockets that feature alloy contacts designed to accept large-gauge conductors.
ArNiﾮ CONDUCTORS
Shunyata Research has developed a proprietary line of ArNiﾮ conductors. They are made from certified OFE C10100 (Certified ASTM F68) copper. The wire strands are arrayed in a unique hollow tube VTX geometry that reduces skin effects. ArNiﾮ conductors are treated with Shunyata Research's exclusive Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIP) for a period of 8 days.
VIBRATION MANAGEMENT
Mechanical vibration can be very destructive to system performance. The Hydra Delta D6 was designed from its inception to include advanced forms of vibration control that improve the recovery of subtle musical detail and nuance. All chassis panels and internal structures are treated with vibration-dampening materials. The outlets are isolated from the chassis with vibration-dampening gaskets that reduce vibration conducted through the AC cables. All internal modules, filters, and electronics are encapsulated in a vibration-absorbent compound.
KPIP ﾓBLACKBIRDﾔ PROCESSOR
Each Hydra Delta D6 is treated with Shunyata Research's proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process (KPIP). The KPIP dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance.
CRYOGENIC TREATMENT
Many of the electrical components in the Hydra Delta D6 are treated in Shunyata Research's own advanced computer-controlled cryogenics lab. Further cryogenic treatment of the unit is strongly discouraged, and will void your warranty.
VIBRATION-DAMPENING FOOTER
The Hydra Delta D6 comes standard with Shunyata Research's vibration-dampening footers. Power distributors react very similarly to amplifiers in relationship to floor-borne vibration. Shunyata Research's footers were specifically designed to reduce vibration from the supporting platform. The footers may be optionally upgraded to SSF-38 stainless steel footers. After researching multiple forms of energy dissipation methods, Shunyata Research developed the SSF-38 to provide the performance characteristics of an expensive after-market isolator but at a fraction of the cost.
