AudioQuest Niagara 5000 Low-Z Power | Noise-Dissipation System - NIAGARA5000

Product Details
AudioQuest Niagara 5000 Low-Z Power | Noise-Dissipation System
The Niagara 5000 features our patented AC Ground-Noise Dissipation, the widest bandwidth-linearized AC filter in the industry, and our unique passive/active Transient Power Correction Circuit. Boasting an instantaneous current reservoir of over 90 amps peak, the Niagara 5000 is specifically designed for today’s current-starved power amplifiers. Many AC power products featuring “high-current outlets” merely minimize current compression; the Niagara 5000 corrects it.
Key Features
Patented Ground-Noise Dissipation System: Yields lower distortion and greater resolution from audio, video, and digital components with grounded AC cords/circuits
Transient Power Correction: Provides power amplifiers a current reservoir of over 90 amps peak (up to 25mS) for AC current transients
Ultra-Linear Noise-Dissipation Technology: AC differential and common-mode filtering with linear response, optimized for varying line and load impedance, assures superior resolution for audio, video, and digital signals
Ultra-Linear AQ-Formed AC RF Filtering Capacitors: Vastly improve linearity and minimize distortions, while dissipating AC line and radio-coupled noise
Direction-Controlled Ultra-Low-Resistance Solid Wiring: Optimized for the highest efficiency noise-dissipation of harmful distortion-causing radio frequencies
12 Low-Z (Low-Impedance) NRG-Edison Series AC Power Outlets: 4 High-Current Low-Z Power; 8 Ultra-Linear Filtered Power (source components) Outlets feature heavy silver plating, over 30% greater mass, and far greater clamping force than any prior NEMA-Edison design known
Non-Sacrificial Surge Protection: Withstands multiple AC surges and spikes up to 6000V/3000A
Over-Voltage Shutdown with Automatic Reset: Enacts shutdown at approximately 17% above optimal AC input levels, until the incoming AC voltage returns to a safe range
Features
Groundbreaking Technology for Superior Performance
The Niagara 5000 utilizes AudioQuest’s patented AC Ground Noise-Dissipation System and ultra-linear filtering to minimize distortion and extract greater resolution from audio, video, and digital components. Our Transient Power Correction ensures an ultra-low impedance buffered source for power amplifiers, providing over 90 amps peak for AC current transients, resulting in tighter, more powerful, and well-defined bass.
Unmatched Protection for Your Equipment
Our non-sacrificial surge suppression and over-voltage shutdown with automatic reset guarantee thorough protection against both catastrophic and incremental sustained damage to your system's sensitive components. With Zero Ground-Contamination Technology, we prevent noise or surge energy from ever connecting to the AC Ground, eliminating distortion and, in some cases, sustained damage to sensitive components.
Elevated Performance with Advanced Features
The Niagara 5000 features pre-formed AC RF filtering capacitors to enhance linearity and minimize distortion while dissipating AC line and radio-coupled noise. Additionally, all Niagara Series wiring is direction-controlled for efficient dissipation of radio-frequency noise.
So, what distinguishes Niagara 5000 from Niagara 7000?
The Niagara 5000 forgoes the latter’s patented dielectric-biased symmetrical power isolation transformers. These isolation transformers contribute greatly to Niagara 7000’s state-of-the-art design, enabling the very best means of dissipating common-mode AC line and radio frequency noise from the power that feeds low-current source components. However, many custom-install, pro-audio, or video components simply require greater current capacity than can be had through either of the 7000’s isolation transformer (source component) output power banks. (Additionally, a small percentage of components may prefer the grounding scheme utilized for the Niagara 5000, as it will allow a greater range of circuits to work harmoniously without the need to connect a source component to the high current bank.)
Far more than a high-value proposition, AudioQuest’s Niagara 5000 delivers 90% of the source-component performance of the flagship 7000 and 100% of the amplifier performance. With the Niagara 5000, you can finally experience and fully enjoy the clarity, dimensionality, frequency extension, dynamic contrast, and sheer grip your system has always been capable of achieving—now with greater flexibility, even within the most complex system applications.
