Who Should Consider the Nordost QV2?

The QV2 is ideal for audiophiles, home theater enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to maximize the performance of their high-end audio and video systems. If you have invested in quality components and want to ensure they are receiving the cleanest, most stable power possible, the QV2 is a valuable addition to your setup.

Comparison with Other Nordost QRT Products

• QV2 vs. QK1 AC Enhancer: While the QK1 is a passive device that introduces a low-level field effect to the AC line, the QV2 is an active device that injects harmonic frequencies, providing a more direct and significant impact on power quality. Using them together can provide a synergistic effect, further improving the performance of your system.
• QV2 with QBASE Power Distribution Unit: The QV2 works exceptionally well when paired with Nordost’s QBASE Power Distribution Unit, as the QBASE provides a high-quality power distribution platform that allows the QV2’s harmonizing effects to be more effectively applied throughout your system.

Technical Specifications

• Frequency Range: 50/60Hz, 100-240V
• Power Draw: Minimal; the QV2 is designed to be efficient, drawing very little power from your AC supply.
• Compatibility: Works with any standard power strip, power distribution unit, or wall socket, making it suitable for a wide range of audio and video systems.

The Nordost QRT QVIBE (QV2) – AC Line Harmonizer is an essential power conditioning accessory for anyone looking to optimize the performance of their high-end audio and video systems. By actively injecting harmonic frequencies into the AC line, the QV2 reduces noise, interference, and distortion, resulting in clearer, more detailed sound and improved visual performance.

Whether you’re an audiophile seeking the purest possible sound or a home theater enthusiast looking to enhance your viewing experience, the QV2 is a powerful tool that ensures your equipment receives the cleanest, most stable power possible.
