AudioQuest NIAGARA 1200

Niagara
1200 brings the benefits of highly optimized power management to far
more music lovers and replaces the amazingly well-received Niagara 1000.
The
most obvious difference between the Niagaras 1000 and 1200, other than
the 1200’s gorgeous textured bright finish, are the more universally
useful shape and surprisingly substantial weight. The 1200 can now sit
on a shelf like a component, with all the in and out cables in the back.
It can be used ‘face’ down with the outlets in the air, fitting much
better in the space between furniture and the wall. And, the 1200 is
designed to stand on one end. 100% of the performance in a more useful
package – and still only $999.95
Designed
by Garth Powell, the Niagara 1200 embodies the very same design
philosophy and incorporates the same patented technology found in its
larger siblings, the Niagara 5000 and Niagara 7000, but packs it into a
smaller, sleeker enclosure—at a fraction of the price.
Much
like the Niagara 5000 and 7000, the Niagara 1200 uses ultra-low
resistance solid-core wiring optimized for low-noise directionality,
capacitor forming technologies that vastly improve linearity and
minimize distortion, and low-impedance AC inlet and outlet contacts with
heavy silver plating over high-purity Beryllium Copper for superior
noise dissipation. Similarly, Niagara 1200 features our non-sacrificial
surge protection, patented Ground Noise-Dissipation technology, and
over-voltage shutdown. The Niagara 1200’s non-sacrificial protection
circuits ensure that your system is thoroughly protected from AC surges
and spikes, and the Niagara 1200 protects itself—no damage, no down
time. Set it and forget it.
The
Niagara 1200 employs AudioQuest’s patented Ground-Noise Dissipation
System and Linear Noise-Dissipation Technology and fits seven
high-performance outlets into its sleek cabinet-friendly chassis. Input
current maximum capacity is 15 amps RMS in the 1200.
