Niagara 1000 Features
 
ƒ
Ground Noise-Dissipation System: AQ’s patented technology vastly reduces ground-
borne noise without compromising safety or creating low-level ground loops.
 
ƒ
Ultra-Linear Noise-Dissipation Technology: Ensures the most consistent and widest 
bandwidth noise dissipation possible, without the inconsistent results that typify 
minimalist, multi-node resonant peaking found in many AC power conditioners.
 
ƒ
Low-Z AC Power Inlets and Outlets: These inlets and outlets not only feature 
the superior grip and lower resistance of beryllium copper, but they also include a 
heavy Hanging-Silver plating to ensure the lowest impedance at radio frequencies, 
enabling superior noise dissipation.
 
ƒ
Non-Sacrificial Surge Suppression: Accepts multiple transient power surges and 
spikes up to 6000V or 3000A (the maximum that can make it through a home or 
office electrical panel). Damage from electrical storms or power-line interruptions is 
virtually impossible; set it and forget it. 
Introduction
The science of AC power is not a simple one; it demands focus, and the devil is in 
the details. In fact, the mammoth increase in airborne and AC-line-transmitted radio 
signals, combined with overtaxed utility lines and the ever-increasing demands from 
high-definition audio/video components, has rendered our utilities’ AC power an 
antiquated technology.
Where Alternating Current (AC) is concerned, we’re relying on a century-old technology
