AudioQuest PowerQuest G8

The PowerQuest G8 8-Outlet Surge Protector features Micro-Spike Technology, Catastrophic Surge Protection, and a slim (3.31” x 11.93” x 1.29”), durable enclosure with eight AC outlets and two high-speed USB ports.

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.

• Micro-Spike Protection from daily short, fast power spikes that damage equipment over time. Typical surge protectors can actually contribute to this sustained damage. Maximum spike 6kV, 144kA
• Catastrophic-Surge Protection from lightning strikes and large-scale power surges
• High-Speed USB Charging: 2x High-Speed USB Charging Ports (USB-A & USB-C)
• Built In AC Line Noise Filtration: Radio-Frequency AC Line -40dB (150kHz–100MHz)
• RF Noise-Dissipation combats Cellular, Wi-Fi, Satellite, Bluetooth, and other Radio-Frequency Interference
• Flat-to-Wall 45° Plug can be easily installed in tight spaces behind furniture or other hard-to-reach areas
• 6ft power cable to use with hard to reach outlets
• Compliance: C-UL Listed 1449 Series III
