Lots of Hats, Lots of Heart | Robert Harley tours Shunyata Research

Sometimes the boat springs a leak. It looks like EIGER is the worst kept secret of coming products.
So, to just clear up some of the rumors:

Yes, there will be a product called the "EIGER".
It is essentially a half the price, half the size version of the Everest.
It is a tower type, six outlet, power distributor that is shaped very similar to the Everest.
It's projected retail price will be US$4,995
It will be officially announced next year.

It will be positioned below the "limited edition" Denali 6000/T v2 in performance and features.

So, we will have a mountain range of tower power distributors listed below in order of price and performance.

- EVEREST
- DENALI
- EIGER

I may post a family photo at a later date.
 
Very nice. Looks like a great product at a great price point.

It's also cool it has two GP-NR terminals, that would support a segmented Altaira system if folks wanted to go that route.
 
Anyone know what the round cable elevators are that Caelin is talking about just past the 30’ mark? They’re not listed on the Shunyata website. Perhaps just a one-off that they made only for their own use?

Did you notice that they were elevating Omega speaker cables? Not much was said but I wonder if they are meant to ship with the Omega when they are released. Maybe they will work with other cables too but nothing else was said AFAIK.

Hmmm…maybe so. If that’s the case I guess we’ll find out eventually.

From watching the video, looks like these were likely designed for the forthcoming Omega speaker cables, which look to be quite large in diameter. If I were to hazard a guess, they'll also be available for sale separately, just as the DF-SS cable elevators are.

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me, Kenny, because IIRC, the Omega PCs also ship with a set of 3 of the DF-SS cable elevators when you buy the Omega PC.
 
Having several rubber straps they could also come in handy when you are trying to keep several cables with some weight above ground since the DF-SS can only handle so much with one rubber strap.
