Audioquest Niagara 1000

Low-Z Power | Noise-Dissipation System

Redefining the Science of Power Conditioning

 

Niagara 1000 brings the benefits of highly optimized power management to far more music lovers.

Designed by Garth Powell, the Niagara 1000 embodies the very same design philosophy and incorporates the same patented technology found in its larger sibling, the Niagara 7000, but packs it into a smaller, sleeker enclosure at a fraction of the price.

Much like the Niagara 7000, the Niagara 1000 uses ultra-low resistance solid-core wiring optimized for low-noise directionality, capacitor forming technologies that vastly improve linearity and minimize distortion, and low impedance AC inlet and outlet contacts with heavy silver plating over high-purity Beryllium Copper for superior noise dissipation. Similarly, Niagara 1000 features our non-sacrificial surge protection, Zero Ground-Contamination Technology, and over-voltage shutdown, ensuring that your customers A/V systems are thoroughly protected from AC surges and spikes.

While the Niagara 1000 lacks the 7000’s sophisticated Transient Power Correction and Dielectric-Biased AC Isolation Transformers, it does employ our patented Ground-Noise Dissipation System and Ultra-Linear Noise-Dissipation Technology. And, whereas the Niagara 7000 has 12 AC outlets, the Niagara 1000 fits six high-performance outlets into its sleek chassis. In addition, input current maximum capacity 20 amps RMS in the Niagara 7000’is 15 amps RMS in the 1000.

Of course, the biggest differences between the 7000 and 1000 are also the most obvious: size, shape, and weight. The Niagara 7000 can be rack-mounted and measures 15.5 W x 5.24 H x 17.2 D and weighs an impressive 81lbs. The Niagara 1000, however, is designed to be placed on a floor or atop a rack, beside or behind a hi-fi system, measures 4.75 W x 4.0 H x 20.0 D, and weighs a much more manageable 5.5lbs.

Perhaps most important, at $995 US, Niagara 1000 brings the benefits of highly optimized power management to far more music lovers.
