AudioQuest Power G8

Standard strips primarily protect against catastrophic surges. The Power G8 adds Micro-Spike technology to intercept the smaller, daily voltage transients that slowly degrade sensitive AV components over time, alongside dedicated RF noise-dissipation to clean up interference from wireless devices.

Yes, if your equipment is susceptible to interference. By filtering out RF noise from 150 kHz to 100 MHz, this unit can reduce background hiss in audio systems or pixelation and artifacts in video displays caused by wireless signals in your home.

While the Power G8 is excellent for home theater and computing gear, it is designed for sensitive electronics. We recommend plugging high-current devices like space heaters or large power amplifiers directly into a dedicated wall outlet to ensure they receive unrestricted current.

Yes, the 45-degree, flat-to-wall plug allows you to push furniture or AV racks significantly closer to the wall than a standard straight-in plug would permit. It is an ideal solution for tight spaces behind media consoles or desks.

This rating indicates the total amount of energy the unit can absorb during a surge event before it needs to be replaced. It is robust enough to handle significant power spikes, including lightning-induced surges, while maintaining its C-UL 1449 safety compliance.

The integrated USB-A and USB-C ports are designed for high-speed charging, making them convenient for topping off modern mobile devices without needing to find a separate wall brick.
