A convenient package for your A/V needs

AudioQuest created this handy bundle to help you protect your TV and other components, enhance your TV's picture, and clean its screen. In this bundle are three of their products: the PowerQuest G8® surge protector, Sky Series HDMI cable, and CleanScreen Solution.

Premium surge protection

AudioQuest's stout PowerQuest G8 surge protector has eight outlets for you to use. Five of them on one side can accept normal sized AC plugs. The remaining three on the other side are spaced wide enough to accept bulky transformers.

The G8 surge protector is outfitted with solid surge suppression (up to 2160 joules) and noise filtration. Not only does it defend against large, sudden spikes, but it also defends against micro spikes. AudioQuest's Micro-Spike Technology keeps connected equipment safe from everyday power anomalies caused by large appliances and the power coming from your wall. All eight outlets are protected for peace of mind.  

Noise is a plague in the audio and video world, and AudioQuest took that into consideration when designing the G8. The surge protector actively combats RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) by filtering the power coming from your wall, giving you clearer videos and cleaner sound.

This surge protector also has two USB ports for charging your smartphone, tablet, and other devices. There's a single 5V/2.4A USB-A port and a 5V/3A USB-C port.

Crystal-clear video

The second part of this bundle is an 8-foot Sky Series HDMI cable. It features 1.0% silver-plated conductors for optimum signal transfer. The signal flow is also directional to dissipate any noise that may come through the cable. 

Say goodbye to smudges

Finishing out this bundle is AudioQuest's CleanScreen solution. Run-of-the-mill glass and screen cleaners use harsh chemicals that can do some serious damage to TV screens over time. Audioquest's unique formula is safe to use on all screens and surfaces, from TVs to monitors to even glasses. It tackles dust, haze, fingerprints, dirt, and static and gives the surface a nice, polished look once wiped away.

 Note: Cleaning cloth not included

Features

AudioQuest Power G8: The AudioQuest PowerQuest® G8 is an 8-outlet power strip with surge suppression and noise filtration. The G8 not only protects your equipment from catastrophic power surges from lightning strikes, it suppresses tiny micro-spike AC power surges which occur every day. In addition to the 8 protected AC outlets, the G8 offers USB-A and USB-C high-speed charging ports for your rechargeable devices.

  • 8 AC Outlets: The PowerQuest G8 is equipped with 8 AC outlets. Five of the outlets are aligned on one side of the power strip for standard sized AC plugs. The other three are spaced wide apart on the other side to accommodate large transformer-type AC plugs (also known as "wall warts").
  • USB Charging Ports: The PQ G8 offers two high-speed USB ports for your USB-powered devices and for charging cell phones and tablets. The USB-A port provides 5V / 2.4A of charging power, while the USB-C port is rated up to 5V / 3.0A. Used together, the USB ports combine up to 5V / 3.4A.
  • Power Cord/Plug: The PQ G8 has a 70" power cord with a flat, right-angled plug. The wall-hugging plug protrudes less than an inch when plugged into a wall outlet, so furniture and other objects can be snugged up against it. The cord comes off the plug at a 45° angle to make it easy to install in tight places.

Triple Protection: The AudioQuest PowerQuest G8 features 3-way protection:

  • Catastrophic Surge Protection: Most surge suppressors protect against surges caused by lightning strikes. The PQ G8 offers 2160 Joules of protection with a maximum spike of 6 kV and 144 kA.
  • Micro-Spike Technology: What sets the G8 apart is its protection from micro-spikes that occur every day. Micro-spikes are caused by outside sources (fluctuating voltage from the power company) and in-house sources from large appliances (refrigerators and electric ranges) and HVAC systems. Over time, micro-spikes cause cumulative damage to your electronics. The G8's Micro-Spike Technology stops the smaller power spikes to protect your valuable electronic gear.
  • RF Noise-Dissipation: Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can be found everywhere: Bluetooth devices, Wi-Fi, mobile phones, cordless telephones. RFI gets into your AC power and can cause performance issues with your audio and video components. The PowerQuest G8 filters RF noise from the AC power going to your A/V gear, so you get the best performance possible.

AudioQuest Assurance: AudioQuest offers the Connected Equipment Protection Warranty for 5 years from the date of purchase, up to $500,000.00. AudioQuest will repair or replace, at its option, any equipment that is damaged by a transient voltage surge/spike or lightning spike that contacts the connected component via the AC line. Power surges or spikes via an incoming signal line are not applicable to this warranty. The PowerQuest G8 must be properly wired via the building's AC power line (outlet), with a protective ground. Details and restrictions can be found here.

Sky Series HDMI Cable: The Sky Series HDMI cable from AudioQuest is guaranteed to have the 18Gbps bandwidth required for compelling features like 4K/60Hz and 8K/30Hz video, HDR (High Dynamic Range), plus eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel).The included Sky Series HDMI cable is 8' in length.

  • 4K/8K Ultra-HD Video: The AudioQuest Sky Series HDMI cable has the bandwidth required for video up to 4K/60Hz and 8K/30Hz. Currently, there is no widely available 8K content, nor are there any widely available 8K source components, so up-conversion in the TV is the likeliest scenario for 8K early adopters.
  • HDR (High Dynamic Range): The AudioQuest Sky Series HDMI cable supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Dynamic HDR. HDR content expands the contrast of the image for blacker blacks and brighter whites/highlights as well as greater color saturation and brightness. In addition, 4K Ultra-HD content allows for a wider color range. This combination of technologies results in more realistic HDR images with greater perceived depth. Dynamic HDR (HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision for example) enables frame-by-frame HDR optimization rather than HDR settings that are fixed for the entire program. The most prominent current HDR formats are HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. AudioQuest 18Gbps High Speed HDMI cables are compatible with all these formats of HDR.
  • ARC/eARC Compatible: The AudioQuest Sky Series HDMI cable supports ARC (Audio Return Channel) and eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel). ARC is compatible with compressed surround formats like Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, and DTS EX. eARC offers support for the latest uncompressed and object-based surround formats like Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-HD.

CleanScreen Solution (6.75oz): Ordinary glass and window cleaners often contain chemicals that can damage screens and surfaces. CleanScreen is safe and effective for use on all of today's delicate surfaces, including TV screens, monitors, glasses, and more. It uses proprietary solvents for eliminating dust, haze, fingerprints, dirt, and static while polishing the viewing surface.

Note: A cleaning cloth is not included. A microfiber cloth is recommended.
