Award-Winning Performance
The PowerQuest 707 earned a "Recommended" award from headfonia.com. "The PowerQuest 707 enhances technical abilities and is probably best in terms of dynamic range, resolution and imaging sharpness. With its multitude of outputs, the PowerQuest 707 is perfectly suited for big HiFi and home theater systems."
"PowerQuest also brings non-sacrificial surge protection to the table. Which is one of the most important features in my opinion," reports reviewer Felix, headfonia.com, October 1, 2024.
"I cannot stress enough how important the protection feature of the PowerQuest is. I have electronics worth many thousands of euros in my chain, to think any of it could be damaged by a power surge gives me the chills. With the PowerQuest 707 my mind is at ease about that."
12 Optimized AC Outlets
The 12 AC outlets are optimized for best performance with your AV gear. Eight of the outlets are designated Linear-Filtered for Source / Constant-Current components (TVs, media streaming devices, etc.). Four outlets are designated High-Current for Variable-Current components, such as amplifiers, powered speakers, and subwoofers.
Ultra-Linear Linear Noise-Dissipation
PowerQuest 707 provides Ultra-Linear Noise-Dissipation of greater than -22dB. Onboard is a 30kHz-1Ghz Differential Filter plus a 30kHz-1Ghz Common Mode Filter for outstanding noise rejection.
"Should Deliver Everything Consumers Want"</h4
"I do think the PQ-707 has had a positive impact both in terms of improved performance and protection," remarks Robert Archer, cepro.com, December 21, 2023.
"When looking at the performance benefits and surge protection capabilities of the PQ-707, as well as the build quality of the power cables, these products should deliver everything consumers want and expect from the AudioQuest brand."
"The Overall Presentation is More Calm"
"The overall presentation is more calm, relaxed. Large orchestral climaxes are reproduced without strain, harshness or over brightness in strings and brass," notes reviewer jfrmusic, forum.audiogon.com, July 23, 2024.
"As to the noise issue, it appears there is noise that is not readily noticeable until you remove it. Even with good power coming from the wall there are improvements that can be found, and I suspect non-line generated noise is present all around us and has subtle effects on the sound."
Non-Sacrificial Surge Protection and Extreme Voltage Shutdown
Many power conditioners become degraded and may even be rendered nonoperational after one or more high power surges. This isn't true of PowerQuest conditioners. There is nothing to damage and PowerQuest sailed through repeated 6000V/3000A input surge tests, which is the maximum that can survive a building’s AC electrical panel.
Should the incoming AC voltage reach 140 volts or higher, PowerQuest will activate the main power circuit relay to open within less than 0.25 seconds. Subsequently, PowerQuest automatically resets once the incoming power is within a safe range again.
45-Amp Transient Power Correction with Current Reservoir
In addition to its wide-bandwidth Ultra-Linear Noise-Dissipation, the PQ 707 includes Transient Power Correction. It provides a current reservoir of up to 45 amps peak on-demand power for any amplifier (up to 25mS), supplying the low-impedance current the amp needs to produce thrilling dynamic contrasts, bass extension, and control.
AudioQuest PQ-715 Power Cable with Flat-To-Wall Plug
Included with the PowerQuest is a detachable premium 2.0 meter long AC power cable with flat-to-wall power plug. The PQ-715 has AudioQuest's ZERO-Tech technology for uncompressed current transients and RF/ND-Tech for unprecedented Noise-Dissipation. The cable is Direction-Controlled with Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors using Long-Grain Copper.
Easy Rack Mounting
2RU rack ears are also included in the package. For installers, this means a PowerQuest unit is ready to go from the box to the rack in just minutes.
"Calmness, Balance, and Imaging"
"Audioquest has launched a nice trio with the PowerQuest series," reports Jaap Veenstra, alpha-audio.net, March 9, 2024.
"Now we find the 303 less interesting than the 505 and 707. Purely because the 303 does not filter in common mode, which is a crucial point nowadays. The 505 does and the 707 adds the 'reservoir'. Both steps are audible in calmness, balance, and imaging."
