    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 4 A great system is built from a solid foundation, and that foundation starts with power. With an AudioQuest Niagara 5000UK, 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!

    AudioQuest. Power Source Ideally, the power source to which the Niagara 5000UK is connected should be adequate for use at 230V to 265V single phase nominal voltage, 13 amps (current capacity RMS or greater).

  • Page 6: Placement

    Torx 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 5000UK’s front panel. Finally, secure the rack ears into place by installing the rack-mount kit’s Phillips pan head SEMS screws.
  • Page 7 This is key to the Niagara 5000UK’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.

    UK plug. Unfortunately, in some environments (for example top shelf placement), this may appear unsightly. For such applications, we suggest the use of a straight (non-angled) UK-13P plug. These are available from AudioQuest and are standard on many of our current range of premium AC cables.

    (akin to a power amplifier left in full operational mode). This is actually far from the truth. If the Niagara 5000UK was consuming that much current (or even 30% of that level), it would need to dissipate the energy loss in heat.

  • Page 11: Extreme Voltage Indicator

    “suffer” through weeks or months of intolerable performance until that “magic day” when the parts are fully formed and ready. On the contrary, the Niagara 5000UK 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 5000UK turned on during this period will aid the process, it is also perfectly acceptable to turn the unit off;...

    The main power rocker switch/circuit breaker tripped to the lower (off) position while the system was playing. You may have exceeded the maximum current capacity of the Niagara 5000UK. This should be rare, but it may be possible. Typical power amplifiers draw about one-third of their maximum current consumption at 230-240VAC, as listed in the product’s specifications (typically found in their owner’s manual).
  • Page 14 The force required to damage the Niagara 5000UK via a power surge would melt the panel and burn the building (in which case, the Niagara 5000UK is the least of your worries).
  • Page 15 Occasionally, this may also be triggered by other large electrical appliances whose power supplies are severely asymmetrical. Try turning on the Niagara 5000UK with an AC outlet that is on a different phase from the electrical panel. This may require some experimentation and the help of an electrician. If this cannot be remedied, simply place the rear-panel switch to the “0”...
