Audioquest Niagara 5000

Description 

The AudioQuest Niagara 5000 is a top-tier power conditioner engineered to deliver unmatched performance for high-end audio systems, especially those featuring power-hungry amplifiers. It integrates AudioQuest’s patented AC Ground-Noise Dissipation, the industry’s widest bandwidth-linearized AC filtering, and a unique passive/active Transient Power Correction Circuit to address both noise and power delivery challenges that commonly degrade audio quality. A defining feature of the Niagara 5000 is its powerful Transient Power Correction capability, offering an instantaneous current reservoir of over 90 amps peak for up to 25 milliseconds. This ensures that even the most demanding amplifiers receive consistent, unconstrained power during dynamic peaks—going beyond the typical "high-current outlets" found in many competing products by actively correcting current compression, not just minimizing it. Its advanced Level-X Ultra-Linear Noise-Dissipation Technology delivers over 23 octaves of differential-mode filtering (3kHz to 1GHz, exceeding 24dB of noise reduction), and 16 octaves of common-mode filtering (20kHz to 100MHz, exceeding 30dB of reduction). This wide-bandwidth, linear response is optimized for varying line and load conditions, ensuring that both noise and distortion are effectively minimized across the entire frequency range. All 12 outlets—divided into eight for source components and four high-current outlets—are protected by six banks of direction-controlled Ground-Noise Dissipation, further reducing ground-related noise that can compromise system performance. The unit also includes non-sacrificial surge protection, capable of withstanding multiple AC surges up to 6000V/3000A without damage, ensuring longevity and sonic transparency. With 20 amps RMS input current capacity, the Niagara 5000 is built for serious systems. It measures 17.5" wide, 5.875" high (5.24" without feet), and 17.2" deep, and weighs 44 lbs (19.9 kg). Optional 3-RU rack mount kits make it suitable for both home and professional AV installations. The Niagara 5000 is the ultimate solution for audiophiles who demand uncompromised power delivery, maximum protection, and ultra-clean audio.
