The Nordost QBASE QB6 UK mk III is a fantastic mains distribution block that provides a solid foundation for any high-performance two-channel audio system. It is designed to deliver clean, stable power to your components, helping them perform at their very best.
Using Nordost’s unique star-earth topology, the QBASE tackles the common problem of electrical noise caused by conflicting signal and ground paths in Hi-Fi systems. This clever design connects all outlets from a single central point, raising the ground impedance on every outlet except the “Primary Earth”. This passive approach creates a smooth, uninterrupted power flow to each component, isolates them from one another to prevent interference, and eliminates noise without relying on filters or active electronics.
Built with a mechanically tuned, extruded aluminium body and durable, high-quality connectors, the mk III model is made to last. Its dual-level circuit boards separate ground connections from live and neutral traces, greatly reducing interference and crosstalk. The improved internal wiring, featuring Nordost’s Mono-Filament wire, and added resistance “sink” help further reduce unwanted electrical currents for cleaner power delivery.
The QBASE QB6 UK mk III does not just supply power; it transforms your entire system.
This is our go-to power distribution unit at The Audio Room, and we recommend it to anyone serious about unlocking the full potential of their Hi-Fi system.
Two complementary plug-in products from Nordost’s QRT range, designed to enhance the AC power supply for two-channel and home entertainment systems.
The QSINE acts as an AC Enhancer by introducing a carefully tuned frequency field that reshapes the AC sine wave. This process reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise, resulting in improved clarity, greater detail, and enhanced musicality in your audio.
The QWAVE functions as an AC Line Harmoniser. It modifies the sine wave by adding precise pulsed frequencies to better control harmonics and overtones. This leads to a lower noise floor, a more expansive soundstage, and a richer, more immersive audio-visual experience.
Both units are housed in sleek carbon-fibre enclosures and can be used individually or together as part of a complete QRT system, providing cumulative improvements to your system’s performance.
