Meet the PowerQuest TV3 Non-Sacrificial Surge Protector: Ultimate Home Audio Power Safety

Explore the PowerQuest TV3 surge protector designed for top-tier audio performance and reliable non-sacrificial protection.

A Surge Protector That Stays Strong Forever

If you’re as passionate about your home audio setup as I am, you know how crucial clean, stable power is. Enter the PowerQuest TV3 surge protector from AudioQuest—a non-sacrificial surge protector crafted to guard your gear indefinitely. Unlike typical surge protectors that wear out after a big spike, this powerhouse is built to last forever without needing replacement parts. That means you can plug in, set it, and then forget about power worries, even during the wildest electrical storms.

AudioQuest PowerQuest TV3 surge protector in metal chassis

This compact unit fits seamlessly into your living room or media space with its metal chassis and mounting options. Whether hidden behind your TV or mounted under a desk, it’s designed to stay out of sight while delivering top-notch protection.

Built for Performance: Power Meets Precision

What really gets me excited about the TV3 is its blend of robust protection and sonic enhancement. It doesn’t just protect your devices—it actively improves how power flows through your system.

Here’s how it works: the TV3 has three carefully designed outlets—one high-current and two linear-filtering. This means your soundbar or AV receiver gets the juice it needs without any compression, while your TV, projector, or streaming devices enjoy significant noise reduction. The result? Cleaner sound, sharper picture, and fewer annoying glitches.

Inside, it uses AudioQuest’s Linear Noise-Dissipation technology—a method that reduces electrical noise across the board. And the internal components are non-sacrificial, so you’re not swapping out parts after a big surge. This is power protection with a long-term mindset.

PowerQuest PQ-415 Power Cable: The Silent Hero

The TV3 includes the PQ-415 power cable, which might just be the unsung hero of the setup. Crafted from Semi-Solid Concentric Direction-Controlled Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors, this cable reduces distortion and manages noise like a pro.

What does that mean for your setup? Less hum, less interference, and a more faithful delivery of power. Plus, the cable’s flat-to-wall plug and retention cage make installation neat and secure—ideal when you’re working in tight spaces behind your entertainment center.

Installation Made Easy: Hidden But Powerful

One of the best features for those who love a clean setup is how easy it is to install the TV3 securely and discreetly. Whether you want to tuck it into a backbox behind your TV or projector, mount it on a wall where you need extra outlets, or secure it under a desk or entertainment unit, the included drywall-mounting hardware and cable retention cage have you covered.

No more clutter or messy cables spoiling your carefully curated media room.

Catch the PowerQuest TV3 Live at CEDIA Expo 2025

If you’re attending the CEDIA Expo in Denver this September (3-6), the PowerQuest TV3 will be making its debut. AudioQuest will be at Booth 3733, ready to chat about this new surge protector and more. Besides the TV3, expect to see high-performance HDMI cables, interconnects, and power products on display.

Why the PowerQuest TV3 Stands Out

Anyone who’s ever had a power surge silently wreck their prized equipment knows the pain of sacrificial surge protectors failing silently. The TV3’s promise of “set it and forget it” peace of mind feels like a breath of fresh air. It stands as a sturdy guardian for your home theater or audio setup, combining serious power protection with clean, distortion-free delivery.

“Its internal parts will never wear out — even faced with the most severe electrical storms or faults. Just set it, forget it, and enjoy outstanding performance with greater peace of mind.” — AudioQuest

Its rugged design, clever noise reduction, and non-sacrificial technology make it a smart investment for anyone serious about protecting and enhancing their system.
