Introduction

Never in the history of power protection has there been a product line that has revolutionized the industry the way that Niles' iPOWER™ has. iPOWER™ Intelligent Power Management Systems represent a breakthrough in three main areas: power protection, noise filtration, and power management. Based on solid scientific principles, clever engineering, and fastidious execution, iPOWER™ devices are built to the most stringent standards in the industry and provide the maximum electrical protection and advanced performance enhancing technology.

iPOWER's i3™ (instantaneous, impenetrable, and virtually indestructible) three-stage power protec- tion circuitry stands head and shoulders above the industry in terms of delivering instantaneous response time. Its clamping levels are among the lowest in the industry, providing unrivaled electrical protection for its connected equipment. Its iQ™ Optimal Q Impulse Noise Filtering technology has the ability to reduce detail-obscuring “noise” on the AC power line, resulting in performance that’s sure to please even the most demanding eyes and ears. In fact, iPOWER™ may be the first "audiophile-approved" power protection technology available at any price. Additionally, its iDefinition™ HDTV-ready coax circuitry provides protection while minimizing signal loss from input to output so images are razor sharp and colors are vivid. Plus, with a full complement of true line diagnostics, and user-friendly one button operation, your AC-8CX puts you in complete control of your system.

Together, these components create a well-balanced audio profile that reproduces music, movies, and dialogue with remarkable clarity and accuracy.

Durability is also a noteworthy characteristic of the AC-8CX. The speaker features moisture-resistant materials, making it suitable for use in humid environments such as bathrooms or kitchens. This durability ensures that the speakers maintain their performance and aesthetic appeal over time, even in challenging conditions.
