Introduction
Thank you for purchasing AudioQuest's PowerQuest G8 Power Conditioner/
Surge Protector.
Most AC power surge protectors are 3-mode surge-suppression devices.
Though these may guard against catastrophic power surges, they can also
allow even modest transient-power spikes to dissipate via the electrical AC
ground. This is significant since no surge protection technology dissipates the
incoming surge/spike to either zero volts or amps. Most AC powerline surges or
spikes are frequent-and they are not catastrophic.
In fact, transient-power spikes can occur dozens of times daily in any home or
office with standard utility power. Appliances and machinery often generate
these power spikes, and, when they occur, a typical 3-mode protection device
can send the remaining electrical energy to an audio/video component's circuit
ground. Over time, this can cause incremental damage to the component's
delicate surface-mount circuit chips.
PowerQuest's Micro-Spike Technology prevents this from happening while
also protecting your valuable system from catastrophic power surges.
