Page 4: Niagara 7000 Features
All sincere attempts to solve this problem must be applauded since once the audio/video signal is gone, it’s gone forever… For AudioQuest, honoring the source is never a matter of simply using premium “audiophile-grade parts” or relying on a proprietary technology—common approaches used within the audiophile market. For years, we have all been witness to the same, seemingly endless audiophile debates: Valves versus transistors. - Page 5 A great system is built from a solid foundation, and that foundation starts with power. With an AudioQuest Niagara 7000, you’ll experience for the first time the clarity, dimensionality, frequency extension, dynamic contrast, and grip your system has always been capable of delivering—if only the power had been right!

Page 6: Installation
Before operating the Niagara 7000, please read and observe all safety and operating instructions (or, at the very least, the quick-start sheet). Retain these instructions for future reference. ¡ ¡ Do not disassemble or in any way modify the Niagara 7000. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. ¡ ¡ Keep away from moisture and avoid excessive humidity. -
Page 7: Placement
Phillips flathead screws from the front portion of both the left and right sides of the cover assembly. Next, mount the rack ears flush against the back of the Niagara 7000’s front panel. Finally, secure the rack ears into place by installing the rack-mount kit’s Phillips pan head SEMS screws. -
Page 8: High Current/Low-Z Power Banks
This is not a reason to return the Niagara 7000 or abandon the use of such an AC plug! Typically, the outlet in question can be slightly opened up by gradually exercising it with an AC plug. For this, we actually do not recommend an AudioQuest or any other premium brand of AC cord or male plug. - Page 9 To achieve that optimal performance, we recommend the following guidelines. For systems that utilize very few components, bear in mind that it is advantageous to use the uppermost outlets in each bank as they have a closer proximity to the final stage noise-dissipation circuits. (The same holds true for the High-Current banks.) Again, because banks 3 and 4 are 100% isolated from banks 5 and 6, placing a DAC and/or universal player in one isolated group, and a preamplifier and turntable in another, would be an excellent way to start.

(akin to a pair of monoblock power amplifiers left in full operational mode). This is actually far from the truth. If the Niagara 7000 was consuming that much current (or even 20% of that level), it would need to dissipate the energy loss in heat. -

As a result, the symmetrical outlet banks in the Niagara 7000 are safer to use than those found in any home, office, or hospital. -

“magic day” when the parts are fully formed and ready. On the contrary, the Niagara 7000 will perform very well from the first moment you use it. It will improve gradually, in small increments, over a period of approximately two weeks. While leaving the Niagara 7000 turned on during this period will aid the process, it is also perfectly acceptable to turn the unit off;... -

Typically, less than 0.25 amps at 120VAC input, or with the power correction switched to Standby setting. (This is dependent on a reactive vector load. For more info, see “Operation and Continuous Use: Rear-Panel Power Correction Switch – Niagara 7000 current draw. ” ) Dimensions: 17.5”... -

Is the upper portion of the front-panel rocker switch fully flush with the chassis? Is the input AC cord fully inserted into the Niagara 7000’s AC inlet? Is the input AC cord properly plugged into the wall AC service outlet? Is the wall’s AC outlet functioning properly? Plug into the outlet another... - Page 17 Series power product, thus preventing the GFCI nuisance tripping. As a final check, inspect the GFCI test button on the left side of the Niagara 7000’s front panel. It is a momentary switch and it will not latch; by pressing it lightly into the chassis, it will activate the GFCI protection circuit and trip the main power switch/magnetic circuit breaker.
- Page 18 If the hum no longer persists under these conditions (which is likely), try reconnecting each additional component into the Niagara 7000 one at a time. Once you find the component that creates the hum, you can possibly achieve increased isolation by connecting it to a different Ultra-Linear/Symmetrical Power outlet group. This can typically help, as well as increase overall system performance by decreasing system noise.
- Page 19 The force required to damage the Niagara 7000 via a power surge would melt the panel and burn the building (in which case, the Niagara 7000 is the least of your worries).
- Page 20 Niagara 7000’s AC isolation transformers are like the proverbial “canary in a coal mine. ” In all likelihood, the Niagara 7000 has not developed a problem. (If you remove all of the AC output cords and listen for the slight buzzing sounds, you will likely find that they are gone.) However, it is possible that otherwise state-of-the-art components are causing the problem.

Questions and answers
Should I turn the unit off when not in use?
It is acceptable to turn off the AudioQuest Niagara 7000 when not in use, but leaving it on will help it reach optimal performance more quickly during the initial break-in period.
