Quiet Power Supply Noise Levels

By carefully selecting each and every component Nexus aims to create the best possible mix of components to make their power supplies as silent as possible. Carefully balance performance and noise level get the best of both worlds. Nexus is confident that their power supplies are leading the market when it comes to solid performance at the lowest possible noise level.

Nexus tests the noise level of the power supplies in an ISO certified chamber. This chamber is the industry's standard for noise tests and the background noise in such a chamber is a little over 15dB(A). Any product producing lesser noise then 15dB(A) cannot be measured. The below graph shows our measurements at different loads.
