AudioQuest PowerQuest 707 - Ultra-Linear Filtered Power Outlets; Suggested AC Connections

7
Ultra-Linear Filtered Power Outlets
There are four outlets (4 discrete outlets in all, labeled “4” through “7”) that utilize this technology within
the PowerQuest 707 EU. All four of these are in turn isolated from the High-Current/Low-Z outlets, labeled 1
through 3. This oers a great advantage in controlling the complex interactions of RF (radio frequency) and
other induced noises present in the AC power supplied from your utility, the noise that will be present on
and in every AC cord, and the noise that is produced within your system’s components and that “backwashes”
into the PowerQuest 707 EU’s output circuits.
Though it would be simple to recommend putting the digital or video components into outlets 4, 5 and
the line-level audio components and turntables into outlets 6 and 7, 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 lter can eliminate 100% of all noise. The size of many of these RF-induced waveforms
possess sinewaves as small as the edge of a piece of paper, and the interactions are complex. So long as the
power ampliers are in their appropriate outlets (1 through 3), and the other components are in outlets 4
through 7, you should experience exemplary performance.

Note: Outlets 4 through 7 are subject to many variables and circuit conditions, so experimentation for best
results is encouraged. Power ampliers must be connected to outlets 1 through 3.
