Audioquest Niagara 7000

AudioQuest is proud to present the Niagara 7000 Low-Z Power Noise-Dissipation System: line power filtering completely reimagined and engineered by one of the foremost experts in the field, Garth Powell. As with every other AQ product to date, most recently our DragonFly USB DAC and NightHawk headphones, we would not have entered this territory unless we felt we had something special and significant to offer. We believe that with the Niagara 7000 we have created a product that will revolutionize the art and science of AC power – a product that will delight audio/video enthusiasts and help create a richer, emotionally immersive experience.

With the development of the Niagara 7000, we set out to address the issues that prevent current audio/video components from realizing their full potential. To meet the proliferation of radio signals transmitted over the air and through power lines, combined with overstressed power lines, and the ever-increasing demands of high-definition audio/video components, it is necessary to rethink AC power technology to power our AV systems with the Providing the power they need to reach their full potential.

In addition, power amplifiers today are subject to immediate peak current requirements even at low volume levels. While we’ve seen a significant increase in dynamic range in much of our audio software, the speakers we use to play them are no more efficient than they were 50 years ago. This places great demands on an amplifier’s power supply, as well as the mains power source that supplies it. As part of our commitment to meet the opportunities of ever-increasing bandwidth and dynamic range, the Niagara 7000 offers extremely low system noise and superior power handling capability over a very wide frequency range.
Through specific sampling and spectrum analysis, it can be proven that up to a third of a high-resolution (low-level) audio signal can be lost, masked, or severely distorted by the large amounts of noise on the mains power lines that power our components. This noise couples with the signal circuitry to current noise and distorts and/or permanently obscures the source signal via ground. The sensitive components of our systems require better alternating current.

We have realized that true audio/video optimization is never just a matter of a secret or exotic circuit. When it comes to noise dissipation for grid power, many approaches can achieve significant results. However, these approaches can lead to ringing, current compression, and nonlinear distortions, so the medicine ultimately has worse effects than the actual disease. Currently, there are a number of grid power conditioners, isolation transformers, regenerative amplifiers, and battery-powered back-up topologies; however, the Niatara 7000 takes a holistic, science-based approach to its grid power technology and demonstrates a comprehensive solution to the increasing noise that plagues our power lines.
The Niagara 7000 features optimized high-frequency-bound running direction, input capacitor shaping technologies developed by Jet Propulsion Laboratories and NASA, and AC input and output contacts with heavy silver plating over ultra-pure copper for the best possible hold.

The Niagara 7000 employs our patented AC ground noise dissipation system, the world’s first biased dielectric isolation transformer, and the industry’s widest bandwidth linearized noise rejection circuit. Our unique passive/active power peak correction circuitry includes an instantaneous current reservoir designed specifically for modern current-hungry power amplifiers for current peaks up to 90 amps. Many mains power products with “high current outputs” merely minimize current compression; the Niagara 7000, on the other hand, corrects it.
With the AudioQuest Niagara 7000, music lovers can finally experience the transparency, spaciousness, frequency extension, dynamics and grip that their AV systems have always been capable of – if only they had the right power!
