AudioQuest Niagara 3000 Low-Z Power Noise Dissipation System with AudioQuest Monsoon 1.0m High-Current 15 AMP AC Power Cable
This Package Includes Niagara 3000 Low-Z Power Noise Dissipation System Monsoon High-Current 15 AMP AC Power Cable - 3.28' (1m) Niagara 3000 Low-Z Power Noise Dissipation System With the introduction of the Niagara 3000, AudioQuest expands your capability to stop noise contamination and current compression. Almost all of the effective technology that distinguishes the award-winning Niagaras 5000 and 7000—AQ’s patented AC Ground Noise-Dissipation System, Transient Power Correction, extremely wide-bandwidth Level-X linear filtering, and more—is here, but at a more accessible price. Patented Ground-Noise Dissipation System Greatly reduces ground-borne noise without compromising safety or creating low-level ground loops. Transient Power Correction Provides power amplifiers a current reservoir of over 55 amps peak (up to 25mS) for AC current transients. Level-X Linear Noise-Dissipation Technology Ensures the most consistent and widest bandwidth noise dissipation possible, without the inconsistent multi-node resonant peaking typically found in most AC power conditioners. AQ-Formed AC RF Filtering Capacitors Dramatically improve linearity and minimize distortions, while dissipating AC line and radio-coupled noise. 7 Low-Z NRG Series AC Power outlets: 2 High-Current Low-Z Power; 5 Level-X Linear-Filtered Power (source components) outlets. Non-Sacrificial Surge Protection Will accept multiple transient power surges and spikes up to 6000V or 3000A without damage. 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. Niagara 3000’s NRG-Series AC outlets not only feature superior grip and lower resistance thanks to beryllium copper, they also include thick Hanging-Silver plating to ensure the lowest impedance at radio frequencies, enabling superior noise dissipation. And, of course, like all Niagara products, the slim 2-RU Niagara 3000 features direction-controlled ultra-low-resistance solid wiring and filter inductors optimized for the highest efficiency noise-dissipation of radio frequencies. Monsoon High-Current 15 AMP AC Power Cable - 3.28' (1m) Features Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) & Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors True-Concentric conductors minimize strand interaction & magnetic confusion Ground noise dissipation technology ZERO characteristic impedance (50Hz - 1MHz) enables uncompressed current transfer Directionally controlled conductors High-Purity True-Concentric PSC+ LGC Conductors With only Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) on the outside, Monsoon’s conductors are essentially all PSC+ even though the conductor core is Long-Grain Copper (LGC). Both superior metal and conductor geometry greatly reduce ear-fatiguing Transient Intermodulation (TIM) Distortion. Uncompressed High-Current Transfer While many AC power cables feature low DC resistance in order to accommodate the demand for high current, a cable’s characteristic impedance is also crucial for optimal performance. Unlike most AC cables that constrict or compress an audio-provoked transient, AudioQuest AC cables combine low DC resistance and ZERO (no) characteristic impedance in order to deliver uncompressed high-current transients on demand. Ground Noise-Dissipation AC Ground wires provide protection from current-wiring faults, but they also act as antennas. Thus, they are subject to induced radio-frequency (RF) noise. This RF noise bypasses component power supplies and is typically coupled directly into a system’s most sensitive audio/video circuits. AudioQuest’s patented Ground-Noise Dissipation greatly reduces this distortion, yielding unprecedented levels of noise dissipation across the widest bandwidth (range) of radio frequencies possible. AQ's unique circuit-topology utilizes a common-mode phase-cancelling array, in concert with proprietary dielectric materials which provide additional differential linear filtering. Directionality All drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. When applicable, arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. For most models of AQ cable, the arrows not only indicate the direction that optimizes metal-directionality as part of Noise-Dissipation, but also indicates non-symmetrical attachment of shield and GND in order to optimize full-system performance.
