Amplifier-End Connector: Multi-Spade, Banana, U-Spade, or V-Spade
Often, the choice between terminating your speaker cables with spade lugs or banana plugs will come down to personal preference. However, the EU-compliant isolated binding posts used on some power amplifiers often makes it difficult if not impossible to tighten spade lugs with high torque or pressure. In these applications, the AudioQuest banana connector is the superior choice, and may be the only choice.
AudioQuest has conducted a fairly extensive survey of contemporary amplifier manufacturers to determine whether spades or bananas will be most appropriate for a given brand and model of amplifier. Please contact us, provide the brand and model of the amplifier, and we’ll respond with the optimal connector type.
Given the girth and weight of our Mythical Creature Series speaker cables, a spade may be better capable of fully supporting the cable. This is particularly a concern with binding posts that do not allow a banana connector to fully seat into the post. The EU-compliant posts will neither accept our V-Spade nor allow our Multi-Spade to be fully seated. For these applications (or when you’re not certain), we highly recommend the U-Spade, as it can accommodate any binding post. The V-Spade is a specialty spade connector that works well with large wingnut binding posts (such as the Mundorf ), as it allows extra clearance.
Speaker-End Connector: Spade or Banana
Here we typically recommend the U-Spade or banana connector. However, even though there is less weight and pressure on this side of the cable (particularly for BiWire sets), it is nevertheless important to note the binding post’s design. If a banana connector cannot seat all the way into the binding post, we recommend one of our spade connectors.

Description
Description
- Greatly reduces ground-borne noise without compromising safety or creating low-level ground loops
- Provides power amplifiers a current reservoir of over 55 amps peak (up to 25mS) for AC current transients
- Dramatically improve linearity and minimize distortions while dissipating AC line and radio-coupled noise
- Enacts shutdown at approximately 17% above optimal AC input levels until the incoming AC voltage returns to a safe range
AudioQuest Niagara 3000 Low-Z Power Noise Dissipation System
AudioQuest’s Niagara 3000 Low-Z Power Noise-Dissipation system incorporates much of the sonically effective technology that distinguishes the award-winning Niagara Series-AQ’s patented AC Ground Noise-Dissipation System, Transient Power Correction, extremely wide-bandwidth Level-X linear filtering, and more—but in a smaller package than its bigger siblings, Niagaras 5000 and 7000.
Niagara 3000 is a very high-performance, cost-effective option for two-channel and custom-install applications. Weighing just 24.9lbs, Niagara 3000 boasts rack-friendly dimensions and 2-RU rack ears are included. Main Power Cord Sold Separately.
7 Low-Z NRG Series AC Power Outlets
Niagara 3000 provides power amplifiers a current reservoir of over 55 amps peak, and a maximum current capacity of 15 amps. Its 2 High-Current outlets are ideal for delivering clean, uncompressed power to powered speakers, amplifiers or powered subwoofers. It also features 5 Level-X linear filtered source AC outlets for a lower noise floor and superior resolution.
Protection
The 3000’s safety features are just as robust as its performance. Niagara 3000 includes AudioQuest’s Non-Sacrificial Surge Protection and Extreme Voltage Shutdown, ensuring that connected A/V systems are thoroughly protected from AC surges and spikes.
