amplifiers (*with one exception; see below). They have been optimized for line-level audio preamplifiers, DACs,

universal players, turntables, and video products that utilize constant-current voltage amplifier circuits. These

circuits never suffer from current compression, but their lower input level and higher gain require a more robust

means of noise dissipation. 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.

*Compared to its larger Niagara siblings, the Niagara 3000AP is unique. Even its Source power banks are capable

of passing extraordinarily high transient current before soft-clipping (in excess of 50 amps peak). So, if you have

one or two main power amplifiers and an additional one to two subwoofers, use the High-Current AC outlets for

the power amps. The subwoofers will still yield superb results when connected to any of the five AC source outlets.

Level-X Linear Noise-Dissipation System Power Outlets

There are five outlets that utilize this technology within the Niagara 3000AP. All five of these are in turn isolated

from the High-Current/Low-Z outlets 1 and 2. This offers a great advantage in controlling the complex interactions

of RF (radio frequency) and other induced noises present in the AC power supplied from your utility, the noise that

will be present on and in every AC cord, and the noise that is produced within your system's components and that

"backwashes" into the Niagara 3000AP's output circuits.

Though it would be simple to recommend putting the digital or video components into outlets 3 and 4, and

the line-level audio components and turntables into outlets 6 and 7, the quest for optimal performance is more

complex. This scenario will work, and likely work well, but a certain amount of experimentation is best given the fact

that no filter can eliminate 100% of all noise. The size of many of these RF-induced waveforms possess sinewaves

as small as the edge of a piece of paper, and the interactions are complex. So long as the power amplifiers are in

their appropriate outlets (1 and 2), and the other components are in outlets 3 through 7, you should experience

exemplary performance. Still, for the audiophile with patience, the reward will be system performance with the

highest possible resolution and lowest possible noise.

To achieve that optimal performance, we recommend the following guidelines. For systems that utilize very

few components, placing a DAC and/or streamer into one isolated group (3 through 5), and a preamplifier and

turntable in another (6 and 7), would be an excellent way to start. For systems that are much larger and require

more outlets, try starting with the most basic setup, then adding one component at a time. The combination that

sounds best (yielding the greatest resolution) is the best one for system!
