Servicing/Return to AudioQuest

Servicing of the Niagara 1000 must be performed by AudioQuest, and is only required

when:

The Niagara 1000 has been exposed to rain, flooding, or extreme moisture

The Niagara 1000 does not appear to operate normally (See "Trouble-Shooting Guide ")

The Niagara 1000 has been dropped and sustained considerable physical damage

If sending the Niagara 1000 to AudioQuest for servicing (or shipping it for any reason),

please use the factory approved packaging materials If you have lost any of these

(corrugated carton, two foam inserts, one poly bag), please contact AudioQuest for

replacements or advice We will provide replacement packaging materials for a nominal

charge; shipping costs will be paid by the individual or company requesting the

packaging material Please do not rely on other methods of packaging, including those

provided or suggested by packaging/mailing stores These methods and materials

could seriously damage the product, as well as its finish Even the loss of the polybag

is enough to permanently damage the finish during transport If you have lost the

original packaging material, please request replacement materials from AudioQuest or

consult us for appropriate options

Power Source

Ideally, the power source to which the Niagara 1000 is connected should be adequate

for use at 120V single-phase nominal voltage, 15 amps (current capacity RMS) However,

the Niagara 1000 will operate very well with a 20-amp service outlet

For proper operation, the Niagara 1000 requires a safety ground (supplied via the

power utility AC wall outlet)

Placement

The Niagara 1000 is manufactured with four rubber feet for safe, secure placement

on any table, cabinet, shelf, or floor The Niagara 1000's design obviates the need for

compliant or high-Q isolation feet Although many audio/video products benefit

greatly from these devices, the Niagara 1000 does not

Placement or proximity to other components is not critical, and, under standard use,

the Niagara 1000 does not produce any heat

Connection to Audio/Video Components

AC Cable Routing

Once the Niagara 1000 is placed, an appropriate 15-amp-rated AC cord must be

connected to the AC inlet (IEC-C14) connector The AC cord must have an IEC-C13

female end connector and a grounded male 120VAC Edison/NEMA plug for use in North

America or Taiwan We highly endorse the use of any AudioQuest NRG Series 15-amp-

rated AC cord, but the Niagara 1000 will function properly with any appropriate AC

cord that meets the aforementioned requirements

Whenever possible, it is best to keep at least three inches (approximately 7cm) between

AC cables and any signal cable When this is not possible in a practical layout of system

cabling, crossing the AC cables to signal cables at 90 degrees is best to minimize

induced noise
