Niagara 1200

Low-Z Power Noise-Dissipation System

Redefining the Science of Power Conditioning

 

“As with all good design, getting rid of the devil in AC power requires attention to every detail. Thanks, Garth!”
William E. Low, Founder and CEO, AudioQuest

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.

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.

It just works
19 June 2020  | 

I have Luxman gear and i have been looking for a end game power conditioner for few years now. Have tried various including PS audio's conditioners but Audioqwest Niagara 1200 beats 'em all. I have a noise analyzer that i use to test the power conditioners noise, at my residence noise was 500+ but using Audioqqwst Niagara 1200 was a big improvement. The noise score was 000. It is not just about measurements, i can clearly hear the improvements in sound stage, bass and black background. In the end i can only say that money was well spent. By the way it is also a surge protector which is an added advantage.....

Bringing clarity and dynamics
14 April 2020  | 

I have to admit I was a skeptic, can mains power really change a system...well in my room, with my ears and my gear - absolutely it can!

This makes music much clearer, more dynamic and provides a darker background. It is pretty expensive though, so only get this if you think your system is lacking in these ways. Not sure it does much to the soundstage width, although the added clarity helps a smidge on perceiving depth - just a little, but it’s nice!
