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

AudioQuest is a name built on quality, and their AV prowess knows no bounds. The same is true of the AudioQuest Niagara 5000 Low-Z power noise dissipation system. Otherwise known as a line conditioner or power conditioner, this product isn't one your average shopper might know about. In a few words, this device sits between your AV equipment and the source of electricity, where it works to smooth out any electrical noise, corrects voltage and modifies waveform distortions. The end result? Your equipment is a lot safer from power surges, and in this way, the Niagara 5000 acts a lot like a surge protector. Watch the videos in our surge protector buying guide to learn more about why surges can be cataclysmic to your electronics.

Here, Carl from Abt begins by discussing the differences between a power strip and a surge protector: power strips just give you extra places to plug in, while surge protectors (that function much like this pick by AudioQuest) work to protect from voltage spikes. Since amplifiers and other home audio equipment can be so delicate, it's important that they're protected; one little power surge shouldn't mean that you'll need to purchase new equipment. That's why the AudioQuest Niagara 5000 is the perfect pick for true audiophiles. If you have more questions, reach out to our team of experts at 800-860-3577.
