Reference Parallel Grounding System | Brisbane HiFi Audio Specialist
The Nordost QKORE is a passive parallel grounding system designed to provide a dedicated reference point for managing unwanted electrical noise and stray voltage within high-performance audio systems.
Rather than connecting to mains power, the QKORE operates as a passive grounding device, providing an alternative path intended to divert unwanted high-frequency noise and electrical interference away from sensitive audio circuitry.
The range is available in three configurations—QKORE1, QKORE3, and QKORE6—allowing the system to address primary AC distribution grounding, secondary signal grounding, or a combination of both.
At Brisbane HiFi, we recommend the Nordost QKORE range for audiophiles seeking to optimize grounding architecture and extract maximum low-level resolution and spatial performance from high-end audio systems across Brisbane, Queensland, and Australia.
Key Features & Audio Engineering Highlights
Low-Voltage Attractor Plates (LVAPs)
Nordost's proprietary Low-Voltage Attractor Plates and passive circuitry are designed to provide an alternative path for unwanted high-frequency and low-voltage electrical noise.
Primary & Secondary Grounding Domains
The QKORE range addresses two principal areas of an audio system:
- Primary AC side — power distribution and QBASE grounding
- Secondary signal side — DACs, streamers, preamplifiers, and amplifiers
This allows grounding to be configured according to the architecture of the system.
Gold-Plated WBT Binding Posts
High-quality WBT grounding terminals provide secure, low-resistance connections to compatible Nordost QKORE Wires.
Micro Mono-Filament Internal Architecture
The QKORE uses Nordost's proprietary Micro Mono-Filament internal wiring within a mechanically tuned aluminum enclosure.
Completely Passive Design
The QKORE requires no AC mains connection, avoiding the introduction of additional powered circuitry into the system's electrical path.

Choosing the Right QKORE
QKORE1 is the focused choice for systems using a Nordost QBASE and requiring primary AC-side grounding.
QKORE3 is designed for systems where grounding connections are primarily required around source and signal components such as DACs, streamers, and preamplifiers.
QKORE6 provides the most comprehensive configuration, combining primary AC distribution grounding with connections for signal components and monoblock amplifiers.
