• Offers an effective ground on the primary side of the power supply.

Product Description: 

The integrity of a high-fidelity sound system is often compromised by electrical disturbances, largely stemming from imperfections in the power supply. These disturbances are exacerbated by environmental factors, such as the proliferation of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular signals, introducing high frequency interference, noise, and stray magnetic fields that contaminate the AC line. An overlooked yet critical aspect of audio performance is the quality of grounding; a compromised ground can significantly undermine the system's foundation. Given that many listening environments lack a dedicated line connected to a ground rod, there's a pressing need for an internal solution. Enter the Nordost QKORE Ground Unit.

The QKORE Ground Unit introduces an innovative parallel grounding mechanism that creates an artificial "clean" earth, utilizing both electrical and mechanical methods. It employs Nordost's patented Mono-Filament technology alongside specially designed Low-Voltage Attractor Plates (LVAPs), made from a unique metal alloy. These components work together passively to attract and neutralize stray high-frequency noises and voltage-induced magnetic fields, establishing a pristine grounding point. Housed in a mechanically optimized enclosure and equipped with gold-plated, WBT binding posts, the QKORE easily integrates into any hi-fi setup, offering a significant purification of the ground point and markedly enhancing audio circuit performance.

The QKORE1 model is tailored for parallel grounding applications in conjunction with Nordost’s QBASE distribution block, providing a superior grounding alternative at the power supply's primary side through its singular binding post.

To complement this system, Nordost has engineered the QKORE Wire, a meticulously designed cable aimed at providing an efficient discharge path for those stray frequencies. It features Nordost’s Micro Mono-Filament technology, FEP insulation, and a 16 AWG, silver-plated OFC solid core conductor, available with various terminations to suit any setup.

As the pinnacle of grounding solutions available to consumers, the QKORE system dramatically transforms the audio experience. Upon integration, users will notice an immediate reduction in the noise floor, a stark improvement in harmonic accuracy and clarity, and an overall enhancement in the musicality and performance of their sound system.
