    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 This is the principal criterion for AudioQuest’s Low-Z Power Noise-Dissipation System. The Niagara 7000UK represents over 20 years of exhaustive research and proven AC power products designed for audiophiles, broadcast engineers, and professional-audio applications. Every conceivable detail has been addressed: In the Niagara 7000UK, you’ll find optimized radio-frequency lead directionality, run-in capacitor forming technologies...

  • Page 5: Installation

    ¡ The Niagara 7000UK has been dropped and sustained considerable physical damage. If sending the Niagara 7000UK 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: 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 7000UK’s front panel. Finally, secure the rack ears into place by installing the rack-mount kit’s Phillips pan head SEMS screws.

    This is key to the Niagara 7000UK’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.

    This is actually far from the truth. If the Niagara 7000UK 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.

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

    It will improve gradually, in small increments, over a period of approximately two weeks. While leaving the Niagara 7000UK turned on during this period will aid the process, it is also perfectly acceptable to turn the unit off; doing so will simply increase the time it takes to reach final “break-in.”...

    Niagara 7000UK requires service, please start here. There is no power to any of the AC outlets. When the Niagara 7000UK’s front-panel LED power indicator glows blue, the unit is operational. If the Power On indicator is not lit, consider the following: ¡...
  • Page 15 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 7000UK’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 16 If the hum no longer persists under these conditions (which is likely), try reconnecting each additional component into the Niagara 7000UK 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 17 The force required to damage the Niagara 7000UK via a power surge would melt the panel and burn the building (in which case, the Niagara 7000UK is the least of your worries).
  • Page 18 Niagara 7000UK’s AC isolation transformers are like the proverbial “canary in a coal mine.” In all likelihood, the Niagara 7000UK 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.
