Nordost QBase QB10 Reference AC Distribution Unit

A passive 10-outlet design with star-earth topology and solid-core Nordost Monofilament wire.

The QBASE Reference is 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 QBASE REFERENCE, like Nordost’s other QBASE units, 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 connected devices, and allowing stray voltages and eddy currents to be referred to one, central ground point. In addition, 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.
