Gemini Model-8

DUAL FUNCTION & HIGH PERFORMANCE
A High-Current, High Performance Power and Ground Hub Solution

The GEMINI Model-8* delivers unprecedented performance and value by acting as both a high-current power distributor and an advanced ground noise reduction hub (featuring technology derived from our TAS Product of the Year award-winning Altaira grounding hub). Similar to the four outlet Gemini Model-4, Gemini Model-8 features patented NIC™ noise isolation chamber technology that provides a common grounding point for the system, extending noise reduction to all system components. This dual-plane approach to noise reduction addresses both AC noise and minimizes voltage differences between component chassis, helping to eliminate potential ground loops. As a high-current capable power distributor the Gemini Model 8 delivers the maximum carrying capacity of the mains circuit.

The GEMINI Model-8’s rugged construction, dual-zone CCI filtering capability make it the ideal solution for powering entire high performance audio or video systems. The affordable price and high-current capacity of the Gemini Model-8 offers endless flexibility for applications in high performance music systems, home theater or pro-recording. Its dual forms of noise reduction insure maximum resolution and fidelity for sources, while the Gemini Model-8 is also an ideal power distributor for amplifiers, sub-woofers, recording consoles or any electronics that require maximum current draw. Taking its affordable price into account, the Gemini Model-8 may be Shunyata Research’s finest creation yet!
