AC power, many approaches can yield meaningful results. However, they may also impart ringing, current compression, and non-linear distortions that are worse than the disease. The Niagara 5000EU uses both our patented AC Ground Noise-Dissipation System and the widest bandwidth-linearized noise-dissipation circuit in the... - Page 5 A great system is built from a solid foundation, and that foundation starts with power. With an AudioQuest Niagara 5000EU, 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 5000EU, 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 5000EU. 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 5000EU’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 key to the Niagara 5000EU’s discrete AC power banks, in that not every circuit is treated the same, but rather isolated bank by bank and optimized for best performance. - 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 banks 1, as they have a closer proximity to the final stage noise-dissipation circuits. Again, because each bank is isolated from the next, 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.

Page 12: Operation And Continuous Use
This is actually far from the truth. If the Niagara 5000EU was consuming that much current (or even 20% of that level), it would need to dissipate the energy loss in heat. It would be quite warm (even hot) to the touch, just like most power amplifiers while in operation. -
Page 13: Extreme Voltage Indicator
On the contrary, the Niagara 5000EU 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 5000EU turned on during this period will aid the process, it is also perfectly acceptable to turn the unit off;... -

On indicator is not lit, consider the following: 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 5000EU’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... - Page 16 However, it’s unlikely that this would occur. The circuit is designed to easily handle any voltage or current surge that could possibly make it past an electrical panel. The force required to damage the Niagara 5000EU via a power surge would melt the panel and burn the building (in which case, the Niagara 5000EU is the least of your worries).
- Page 17 No, it’s not damaged (or, at least, damage is very unlikely). If you’re in an extraordinarily quiet room and you hear this buzzing sound only when in relatively close proximity to the Niagara 5000EU, or only when you place your ear next to the unit, the buzzing is normal and, unfortunately, cannot be eliminated.
