High Current Power Bank
The High Current Power bank was designed to enhance the performance of power
amplifiers and powered receivers via the Niagara 1000’s low-impedance, differential-
filter circuitry This, coupled with the patented Ground Noise-Dissipation System,
ensures maximum performance from any power amplifier without the typical
performance-limiting effects of current compression found in many typical “power
conditioners ”
The other five AC outlet banks are inappropriate for high-current power amplifiers They
have instead been optimized for line-level audio preamplifiers, DACs, universal players,
turntables, digital devices, 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 1000’s discrete AC power banks (the top three, the two below those, and
the high current bank), in that not every circuit is treated the same, but rather isolated
bank by bank for best performance
Ultra-Linear Noise-Dissipation System
There are five outlets that utilize this technology within the Niagara 1000 Though
it would be simple to recommend putting the digital or video components into the
upper three outlets and the line-level audio components and turntable into the two
banks below them, 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 or screen can eliminate 100% of all noise, the size of many of these
RF-induced waveforms is as small as the edge of this paper you’re reading, and the
interactions are complex So long as the power amplifier or powered receiver is in the
High Current outlet at the bottom, and the other components are in some combination
of the five outlets above, you should experience exemplary performance The outlet
that sounds best (yielding the greatest resolution) is the best one for your system!
