Overview

Nordost QSOURCE DC Cable – QRT Series

The Nordost QSOURCE DC Cable is purpose-built to provide a high-quality connection between the Nordost QSOURCE Linear Power Supply and compatible DC-powered audio components. Designed as an integral part of Nordost’s QRT power ecosystem, it helps maintain the clean, low-noise DC power supplied by the QSOURCE all the way to the connected component.

The cable uses 2 × 22 AWG silver-plated solid-core OFC conductors in a shielded twisted-pair configuration. Nordost’s Micro Mono-Filament technology introduces an air dielectric around the conductors, while FEP insulation and braided shielding help reduce electrical interference and noise.
