AudioQuest PowerQuest 2

The AudioQuest PowerQuest 2 is a slim, 6-outlet power conditioner and non-sacrificial surge protector designed to bring cleaner, more reliable power to home theater, hi-fi, and connected audio/video systems. Built with purpose-specific outlets, the PowerQuest 2 gives displays, source components, network gear, amplifiers, powered speakers, and subwoofers the right type of power support for stronger system performance. A dedicated 4K/8K video outlet, three Linear Filtered outlets, and two High-Current outlets help reduce AC noise and distortion while keeping valuable equipment protected from damaging spikes and voltage events. With Extreme Voltage Shutdown, repeated 6000V/3000A surge-test capability, cable/satellite signal-line protection, integrated USB charging, a flat-to-wall 45° plug, and a directionally optimized AudioQuest power cord, the PowerQuest 2 is a practical upgrade for clean, protected power in premium entertainment spaces.

What It's Good At:

• Cleaner power for AV systems: Advanced filtration helps reduce EMI/RFI noise and power-line interference that can affect sound and picture quality.
• Purpose-built outlet layout: Six optimized outlets support 4K/8K video displays, source components, networking gear, amplifiers, soundbars, powered speakers, and subwoofers.
• Long-term surge protection: Non-sacrificial surge protection is engineered to withstand repeated 6000V/3000A input surge tests without the wear-out behavior of many traditional surge protectors.
• Voltage-event safety: Extreme Voltage Shutdown disconnects power at 140VAC in less than 0.25 seconds and automatically resets once incoming power returns to a safe range.
• Flexible installation: A slim chassis, optional detachable base, horizontal or vertical placement, and flat-to-wall 45° plug make it easy to use behind cabinets or on shelves.
• Added everyday convenience: Integrated USB charging and cable/satellite signal-line protection help consolidate power and protection for modern entertainment systems.
