Tie Your Entire System Together with the Nordost Qbase QB10 Reference AC Distribution Unit: Cutting-Edge Foundation Delivers Pristine Power and Refinement

The Nordost QBASE QB10 Reference is a multifaceted, reference-level AC distribution unit that operates as a filter-less alternative to power conditioners, delivering pristine power to your audio components without imparting its own sonic characteristics on your system or limiting AC current. This 10-outlet AC distribution device unites several philosophies and technologies from Nordost's renowned QRT line into a single, comprehensive power component.

At its core, the QB10 is a passive distribution component that uses star-earth topology to address the noise-inducing, conflicting flow of signal and ground paths within a hi-fi system. It achieves this by providing ground separation for all the devices it serves, and allowing stray voltages and eddy currents to be referred to one, central ground point. However, that's just the beginning of what this reference unit has to offer. The QB10 offers numerous Nordost technologies within its mechanically tuned, extruded aluminum chassis, in order to bring a new realm of power optimization and audio refinement to your reference system.

“We are used to listening to changes in timbre, tone, pace, detail, soundstaging or dynamics, for example. And yes, the Nordost QBASE Reference does all those things well. But what it does that so few other things can do is tie the whole system together.”
