Nordost QWAVE

Nordost QWAVE: active AC Line Harmonizer

The QWAVE is a plug-in device from the QRT range, the modular family with which Nordost tackles the problem of poor alternating current in audio and video systems. It connects to a mains outlet and can be used alone or with the other modules.

Unlike the AC Enhancers, which are passive, the QWAVE is an active device: it sends straight onto the line a calculated range of pulsed frequencies, synchronized to the original 50 or 60 Hz waveform. The stated aim is better control of harmonics and overtones. The effects of QRT modules are cumulative and the QWAVE pairs naturally with the QSINE.
