- Page 3 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 5000AP, 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 5 ¡ The Niagara 5000AP has been dropped and sustained considerable physical damage. If sending the Niagara 5000AP to AudioQuest for servicing (or shipping it for any reason), please use the factory approved packaging materials. If you have lost any of these (double carton, two foam inserts, one poly bag), please contact AudioQuest for replacements.
- Page 6 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 5000AP’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 not a reason to return the Niagara 5000AP 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 8 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 and 2, 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 11 (akin to a power amplifier left in full operational mode). This is actually far from the truth. If the Niagara 5000AP was consuming that much current (or even 30% of that level), it would need to dissipate the energy loss in heat.
- Page 12 “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 5000AP 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 5000AP turned on during this period will aid the process, it is also perfectly acceptable to turn the unit off;...

- Page 14 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 5000AP. This should be rare, but it may be possible. Typical power amplifiers draw about one-third of their maximum current consumption at 230VAC, as listed in the product’s specifications (typically found in their owner’s manual).
- Page 15 The force required to damage the Niagara 5000AP via a power surge would melt the panel and burn the building (in which case, the Niagara 5000AP is the least of your worries).
- Page 16 Occasionally, this may also be triggered by other large electrical appliances whose power supplies are severely asymmetrical. Try turning on the Niagara 5000AP 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”...
