Nordost QRT QPOINT User manual

ABOUT THE QPOINT
The QPOINT Resonance Synchronizer emits a subtle field
which manipulates all electromechanical resonances
within its immediate proximity so that they resonate in
unison, ultimately lowering the noise floor. The QPOINT’s
modular nature and small footprint allows you to easily
place it under electronics, in key positions in your
system. Using the QPOINT Resonance Synchronizer will
result in dramatic sonic effects, including enhanced
coherency, greater dynamic range, more fluid
musical expression, and greater space and
ambiance in musical reproduction.

Position the QPOINT under any electrical component
in your sound system, with the black dispersion plate
facing up. If you are obstructed from placing the QPOINT
under a component, you may place the QPOINT on top,
with the black dispersion plate facing down, against
the component itself. When situating the QPOINT, be
sure to leave all of your components’ venting elements
unobstructed.
If you are only introducing one QPOINT into your
system, we suggest that you start by placing it under
your preamplifier (or integrated amplifier if applicable).
When adding subsequent units, experiment to
determine the most beneficial placement within your
unique system.

Caution: Do not place the QPOINT under, or on top of,
equipment that generates significant heat or in a location
where ambient temperature exceeds 38ºC/100ºF.

POWERING UP
To use the QPOINT, plug in the provided power supply
and the unit will automatically power on. While plugged
in, the QPOINT is always operational. To shut the unit
down, either unplug the power cord or detach the
power supply from the wall.
For best results, the provided power supply can be
substituted for Nordost’s QSOURCE Linear Power Supply,
available for purchase separately at Nordost retailers
worldwide.

The QPOINT has been designed with two modes in
order to complement the various types of electronics
found in the industry and tailor results according to
your personal preferences. Mode I and II each generate
unique resonances, which emphasize different musical
characteristics as they lower the noise floor. To alternate
between Modes I and II, flip the switch located next to
the power cord input.
MODES
When the device is in Mode I, a blue LED light will be
illuminated. When in Mode II, the light
will switch to green.
MODE II (GREEN)
MODE I (BLUE)
