AudioQuest PowerQuest G8 - 8-Outlet Surge Protector with USB-A and USB-C Charging Ports
Overview
Small power spikes happen far more often than lightning strikes, and AudioQuest notes they can occur dozens of times a day in a home or office as appliances and machinery switch on and off. The AudioQuest PowerQuest G8 is an eight-outlet surge protector built to guard against both those everyday spikes and catastrophic surges, with USB-A and USB-C charging ports.
AudioQuest's Micro-Spike Technology is designed so that short, fast spikes are not sent to your components' circuit ground, where AudioQuest says they can cause incremental damage to delicate surface-mount chips over time. Catastrophic-Surge Protection is rated for a maximum spike of 6kV, 144kA, covering lightning strikes and large-scale power surges.
Built-in AC line filtering reduces radio-frequency noise by 40dB from 150kHz to 100MHz, helping combat cellular, Wi-Fi, satellite, Bluetooth, and other RF interference. A 45-degree flat-to-wall plug and a 6 ft power cable make it easy to place behind furniture, and it is C-UL listed to 1449 Series III.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
Use the G8 for a TV, soundbar, gaming console, or office setup where you want surge protection and RF filtering in a slim strip. For a full home theatre or hi-fi rack with amplifiers, ask us about AudioQuest's rack-mount PowerQuest conditioners.

Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The TV and Gaming Setup: Wants surge protection and RF filtering for a TV, console, and soundbar.
- The Home Office: Protects a computer, monitor, and network gear, with USB charging built in.
- The Bedroom or Cottage System: Wants a slim protector that fits behind furniture.
