- 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 3000AP, 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 Before operating the Niagara 3000AP, please read and observe all safety and operating instructions (or, at the very least, the Quick-Start Guide). Retain these instructions for future reference. ¡ Do not disassemble or in any way modify the Niagara 3000AP. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. ¡ Keep away from moisture and avoid excessive humidity.
- 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 3000AP’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 3000AP’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 This is actually far from the truth. If the Niagara 3000AP was consuming that much current (or even 30% 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 10 “magic day” when the parts are fully formed and ready. On the contrary, the Niagara 3000AP 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 3000AP turned on during this period will aid the process, it is also perfectly acceptable to turn the unit off;...
- Page 11 Specifications Surge Suppression: Non-sacrificial (nothing to damage with repeated 6000V/3000A input surge tests, which is the maximum that can survive through a building’s AC electrical panel).

- Page 12 You may have exceeded the maximum current capacity of the Niagara 3000AP. This should be rare, but it may be possible. Typical power amplifiers draw about one-third of their maximum current consumption at 120VAC, as listed in the product’s specifications (typically found in their owner’s manual).
- Page 13 The force required to damage the Niagara 3000AP via a power surge would melt the panel and burn the building (in which case, the Niagara 3000AP is the least of your worries).
- Page 14 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 3000AP, or only when you place your ear next to the unit, the buzzing is normal and, unfortunately, cannot be entirely eliminated.
