Nordost QBASE 6 MKIII AC Distribution Unit
If you are a Hi-Fi enthusiast looking to take your system to the next level, the QBASE MARK III is the perfect product for you. It has been designed at the cutting edge of technology and offers a range of features to dramatically enhance the musical performance in your system. From its dual PC-board configuration, increased separation of all ground connections and optimised trace sizes to maximise current flow, this AC distribution unit will help you get the most out of your Hi-Fi system.
The star-earth topology of the QBASE MARK III creates an uninterrupted, straight-line AC distribution path from the wall to each individual component, isolates each component by deterring the ground flow between them, and eliminates conflicting flow between signal and ground paths without any form of in-line filtering or active circuitry.
The QBASE Mark III aims to improve the 3D imaging on the soundstage, pull out tonal richness and sustained decay time in the music, and impart a clear increase of power while maintaining a neutral and effortless delivery of the performance.
Features
- Newly designed, dual PC-board configuration
- Increased separation of all ground connections from the line and neutral traces
- Further minimised interference/crosstalk between live/neutral and ground currents
- Enhanced trace sizes to maximize current flow
- Revised resistance “sink” to add protection and effectively damp eddy currents
- 6 outlets
- C15 (13A) or C19 (16A) sockets
Star-Earth Topology
The Nordost QBase MKIII Ac Distribution Unit guarantees uninterrupted power transmission to all connected components, while also providing optimal isolation between each of them. Thanks to its unique star-earth topology, the ground is lifted on each individual outlet except for the primary one, creating a straight-line AC distribution path from the wall to the equipment. This eliminates any conflicting flow between signal and ground paths, without relying on any form of in-line filtering or active circuitry.
Design
The Nordost QBase MKIII AC Distribution unit provides superior performance and reliability thanks to its innovative design. A mechanically tuned, extruded aluminum body houses highly durable connectors specifically designed to withstand extended use without compromising on connectivity. The dual-level PC-board configuration keeps ground connections separate from line and neutral traces, reducing interference and crosstalk. Trace geometry and sizes are highly optimized for maximum current flow and minimal crosstalk, and the unit is internally wired with Nordost Mono-Filament wire. Additionally, a resistance “sink” adds protection and more effectively dampens eddy currents. With the Nordost QBase MKIII AC Distribution Unit, you can rest assured that your AC power performance is as reliable as it is powerful.
About Nordost Cables
Founded in 1991, Nordost Corporation is a high-technology cable manufacturer specializing in the audio and medical fields, using precision conductor solutions first developed for the aerospace industry and in conjunction with NASA for the space shuttle program. This grounding in the mission-critical fields of space flight and micro-surgery have afforded the company an enviable research budget and an unprecedented degree of manufacturing accuracy and consistency. Nordost also adopted a unique approach to sales, openly demonstrating the performance of their products against the competition. This confidence was well placed and the strategy proved a sure-fire winner, the legendary Nordost cable demos remaining high on the must-hear list for audiophiles attending hi-fi shows around the world.
