AudioQuest PowerQuest 707 Power line conditioner

If you've invested time, money, and — let's face it — love in your audio/video gear, you probably know how important it is to keep it safe from harm. AudioQuest's new PowerQuest 707 stands ready to defend against any harmful power surges and spikes that might come through your home's wiring, and it helps your gear sound and look better in the process.

Power protection that keeps on defending

The PowerQuest 707 is a non-sacrificial surge protector. It can absorb power surges multiple times and keep your gear protected. AudioQuest made sure the '707 can withstand maximum surges of up to an impressive 6,000 volts/3,000 amps. For reference, that's the upper limit of what a home's breaker box can withstand.

Thankfully, the '707 doesn't let such powerful surges through. Once the incoming power hits 140 volts, the surge protector opens its main power relay in less than a quarter of a second, severing the electrical pathway and keeping your sensitive equipment safe from harm. Once voltages go back down to a safe level, the '707 resets the circuit and operates as normal.

Get rid of power noise in your audio and video

Not only does the PowerQuest 707 keep your gear safe, but it also improves the audio and video performance of your system too. The '707 uses ultra-linear noise dissipation to filter out interference across a wide frequency bandwidth. What that means in simple terms is that the haze of "unnoticed-until-you-notice-it" noise is gone; your TV has a clearer picture, and your audio system sounds more detailed with a quieter background.

On-demand power for dynamic tracks

One of the neatest features of the '707 is its Transient Power Correction. It has a ready reserve of power that can provide up to 45 amps of current to any connected amplifier to give your sound an extra boost. It helps bass notes come through with authority, keeps high notes clear and airy, and gives your speakers enough juice to properly control their drivers when things get hectic.

12 outlets for connecting your equipment

Even if you have a huge system, the PowerQuest 707 has you covered. It has 12 total outlets. Eight of those are linear-filtered and are perfect for connecting source components or constant-current components like TVs, streaming sticks, DACs, and more. The remaining four outlets are designed to feed components like power amplifiers, powered subs, and powered speakers, which require high current during instantaneous peaks in the audio signal.

Noise-rejecting power cable

AudioQuest built their name manufacturing excellent cables, so it's maybe no surprise that this conditioner comes with a high-quality power cable. The included detachable PQ-715 power cable rejects EMI and RFI noise, and it terminates in a flat-to-wall plug that can squeeze into tight spaces.
