Nordost QBase Reference AC Distribution Unit

The Nordost QBASE Reference redefines power infrastructure in high-end audio systems by combining a star-earth distribution topology with advanced internal technologies in a passive, filter-less design. It provides pristine power delivery without imposing coloration or limiting current, making it the cornerstone of system purity and integrity. 

Ground Isolation Rendered with Precision Engineering

Utilizing star-earth topology, the QBASE Reference ensures each outlet maintains isolation between signal and ground paths. This centralizes stray voltage and eddy current flow to a controlled point, dramatically reducing crosstalk and interference for superior sonic transparency. 

Dual-Layer PCB with QRT Enhancements at the Core

Boasting a symmetrical live/neutral layout with separate grounding circuits, the QBASE Reference integrates internal QSINE and QWAVE modules and optimized QPOINT technology. This dual-board configuration enhances power integrity while delivering harmonic enrichment across the system. 

Mechanically Tuned Aluminum Chassis with Grounding Expansion Options

Housed within an extruded, resonance-minimizing aluminum body, the QBASE Reference supports resonance control through Sort supports and includes a gold-plated ground terminal—a gateway to parallel grounding via QKORE units—for elevated system stability. 

Key Features
  • Reference-level passive AC distribution using star-earth topology for noise-free grounding
  • Dual-layer PCB design with separate live/neutral and ground planes, plus voltage directionality
  • Built-in QSINE and QWAVE modules for harmonic enhancement, alongside tuned QPOINT circuitry
  • Heavy-duty extruded aluminum body with Sort support feet to damp mechanical resonance
  • Ten rear outlets including dual primary-earth capability for advanced separation (e.g., dual mono preamp)
  • Gold-plated grounding terminal for optional QKORE connection to enhance system grounding
