Shunyata Research GEMINI Model-8

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. Similar to the four-outlet Gemini Model-4, the 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. Gemini Model 8 is a full 20A capable unit, featuring a C-19 (20A) IEC for maximum current carrying capacity.

The GEMINI Model-8’s rugged construction, dual-zone AC line filtering, and 20A 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 offer endless flexibility for applications in high-performance music systems, home theater, or pro recording. Its dual forms of noise reduction ensure 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 a maximum current draw. Taking its affordable price into account, the Gemini Model-8 may be Shunyata Research’s finest creation yet!
