Product Information
Product description
PowerQuest by AudioQuest
Performance First
All three of our new rack-mountable PowerQuest models — the PQ-303, PQ-505, and PQ-707 — take AudioQuest's comprehensive approach to AC power conditioning, addressing noise linearly to provide class-leading, wide-bandwidth noise reduction (better than -22dB).
The PQ-303’s Linear Noise-Dissipation comprises Differential-Mode filtering (30kHz–1GHz), which addresses asymmetrical noise already present on the utility line or backwashed via electronic appliances and components. In the PQ-505, Ultra-Linear Noise-Dissipation is achieved with the addition of Common-Mode filtering (30kHz–100MHz) to address symmetrical noise, which is typically picked up by the AC Line, Neutral, and Ground leads. In the PQ-707, Ultra-Linear Noise Dissipation is taken even further with a wider-bandwidth (8kHz to 1GHz) Differential-Mode filter.
Perfect for use with
X-Box Series X and S
PS5
Flat Screen TVs/Projectors
AV Receivers
Home Theater Systems
AppleTV 4k
Powered/Active Speakers
Soundbars
Protection Assured
All models feature Non-Sacrificial Surge Protection and Extreme-Voltage Automatic Shutdown at 140VAC.
If more than 140VAC is present on the incoming AC line for more than a quarter of a second, the circuit will instantly open a high-current relay that will disengage the AC power from all the PowerQuest AC outlets, activating the red front-panel LED “Overvoltage Protection” warning indicator. Once the event has passed, or the building wiring fault has been corrected, the circuit will automatically re-engage.
Take comfort in knowing that valuable gear is well protected.
Power to All
All models provide 12 total AC outlets: 4 High-Current outlets for variable-current amplification components (power amps, powered speakers, A/V receivers, subwoofers, etc.) and 8 Linear-Filtered outlets for constant-current source components (TVs, media-streaming devices, disc players, turntables, preamplifiers, cable boxes, etc.).
Each AC power bank is isolated and optimized for the connected device, enhancing the PowerQuest's ability to efficiently control the complex interactions of:
Radio-frequency noise and other induced noises present in the AC power supplied from the utility
The noise that will be present on and in every AC cord
The noise that is produced within your system’s components and that “backwashes” into the PowerQuest’s output circuits.
Finally, all models come with optional 2RU rack ears and a detachable 2m Direction-Controlled PowerQuest power cable with a flat-to-wall plug.

PowerQuest 505 Power Conditioner
PowerQuest ensures clean power, optimizes audio/video performance, and provides steadfast protection. Simply set it and forget it.
AudioQuest PowerQuest 505 is a high-performance power conditioner with 12 AC outlets (4 High-Current outlets for amplifiers and 8 Ultra-Linear-Filtered outlets for source components), a 2m detachable AC power cable featuring ZERO-Tech and RF/ND-Tech, and 2RU rack ears for simple rack-mounting.
Detachable Power Cord
The detachable PQ-715 cable uses high-purity Semi-Solid LGC conductor metal, strands are packed more tightly and never change position within the bundle, significantly reducing strand-interaction distortion. LGC further minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor. Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained away from the system’s vulnerable circuitry. AudioQuest’s ZERO-Tech ensures uncompressed current transfer and linearized noise-dissipation; RF/ND-Tech minimizes circuit misbehavior by canceling induced RF noise.
