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.
The Niagara 1200 includes the addition of a second High-Current outlet, totalling the Niagara 1200's outlets for 7. Now those with a subwoofer, mono amps, or powered speakers, can enjoy the full High-Current benefit that was only available to a single component with the Niagara 1000.
Like the Niagaras 1000, 5000 and 7000, the Niagara 1200 uses capacitor forming technologies that vastly improve linearity and minimize distortion, ultra-low resistance solid-core wiring optimized for low-noise directionality, and low-impedance AC inlet and outlet contacts with heavy Hanging-Silver plating over high-purity Beryllium Copper for superior noise dissipation. The Niagara 1200 includes AudioQuest’s patented Ground-Noise Dissipation System for a full 18 octaves of Linear Noise-Dissipation. Common to all Niagara products, the 1200 features AudioQuest's non-sacrificial surge protection and over-voltage shutdown, ensuring that all associated A/V systems are thoroughly protected from AC surges and spikes.
Note: Niagara Noise-Dissipations Systems do not ship with an AC power cable. This gives customers the opportunity to select a cable of the desired length and best possible performance. AudioQuest recommends connecting the Niagara 1200 to your wall socket using an NRG-Z3 at a minimum however to achieve maximum performance, a Monsoon power cable perfectly complements the Niagara 1200.
