Placement

The Niagara 5000AP is manufactured with four rubber textured polymer feet for safe, secure placement on any

table, cabinet, shelf, or floor. When rack-mounting is required, these feet may be removed with a standard Phillips

screwdriver. The Niagara 5000AP's design obviates the need for compliant or high-Q isolation feet. Although

many audio/video products benefit greatly from these devices, the Niagara 5000AP does not.

Placement or proximity to other components is not critical, and, under standard use, the Niagara 5000AP does

not produce any appreciable heat. The Niagara 5000AP may be rack-mounted in a standard 19" rack by attaching

the optional Niagara Series 3-RU rack ears. To attach the optional rack ears to the Niagara 5000AP chassis, first

remove the three Torx flathead screws from the front portion of both the left and right sides of the cover assembly.

Next, mount the rack ears flush against the back of the Niagara 5000AP's front panel. Finally, secure the rack ears

into place by installing the rack-mount kit's Phillips pan head SEMS screws.

When tight installations do not provide adequate room in a rack, shelf, or cabinet, the Niagara 5000AP can actually

be placed on its side. Such placement will pose no safety or performance compromises, but we recommend

placing a soft towel or carpet under the unit to prevent the chassis and front panel from being scratched or

marred in any way.

Connection to Audio/Video Components

AC Cable Routing

Once the Niagara 5000AP is placed, an appropriate 16-amp-rated high-current AC cord must be connected to the

rear-panel AC inlet (IEC-C20) connector. The AC cord must have an IEC-C19 female end connector and a grounded

male 220-240VAC UK-1, UK-2, Schuko, or China plug. We highly recommend the use of any AudioQuest 16- to

20-amp-rated Wind Series or High-Current Storm Series AC cable. Because these cables feature conductors that

have been meticulously controlled for proper low-noise directionality, they will ensure the best possible results

from the Niagara 5000AP's Ground-Noise Dissipation Technology.

When facing the Niagara 5000AP's rear panel, the IEC-C20 inlet is located on the unit's lower-left side. The AC inlet

cord must be connected to an appropriate AC outlet (see "Power Source, " page 6).

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.

Connecting AC cables to the Niagara 5000AP's NRG Edison AC outlets –

WARNING!

The AudioQuest NRG Edison AC outlets feature the strongest grip of any commercially available AC outlet in

history. There are many reasons this was done—lower impedance, superior transient current delivery, and vastly

reduced noise are just a few. However, there is a price to be paid for superior performance: It will take some time

and patience to both insert an AC cord into and remove an AC cord from these receptacles.

We have made every effort to exercise these receptacles during testing and final inspection, but they will still

require slow and careful "wiggling": When either inserting a plug into these receptacles or removing an AC cord's

male plug from the receptacles, gently move the male AC cord's plug from side to side while providing an even

forward or backwards pressure. If you find it is simply too difficult to insert an AC cord's male plug into one of

the outlets, it may be that its male prongs are slightly oversized due to either its design or generous quantities of

plating material.
