Provide Stable, Clean Power to Your DC-Based Audio Devices with the Fan-Free Nordost QSource MKII Linear Power Supply: Experience Enhanced Dynamics, Control, Soundstaging, and Imaging

Engineered from the ground up for high-end audio applications, the Nordost QSource MKII linear power supply will drastically improve your system's articulation, dynamics, dimensionality, soundstaging, and imaging. Devised to work in concert with DC-dependent audio components and Nordost QPoints, the 17-pound QSource MKII provides stable, clean DC power while retaining near-dead quiet. 

Built on the foundation of the original model, the fan-less design features two reference-class transformers and current-based architecture to maintain vanishingly low noise throughout the power supply. An internal QRT module removes electrical anomalies and nasty artifacts from the line and smooths the DC output, ensuring your components run as they should – with remarkable purity. Finned end-cap heatsinks provide passive cooling. Sonically, QSource MKII accounts for excellent regulation, low ripple, and extraordinary transient response.

In addition to the four 5V outputs designated for QPoint resonance synchronizers, the 3.4 x 11.2 x 7.7-inch (HWD) QSource MKII has two selectable outlets that supply 9V or 12V, or 12V, 19V, or 24VDC respectively, that can be chosen to match the requirements of your electronics. So, whether you're using a music server, network switch, external DAC, or phono preamplifier with an external switch-mode power supply, QSource MKII will lower your noise.
