Overview

Not only typical main components like amplifiers, DACs or sources have an impact on sound quality, also the supplied power for each device is a very important puzzle piece to create a high end audio setup. It significantly contributes to the sonic quality of every audio product.

In order to offer the possibility of improving sound quality, we designed our BPC (Balanced Power Conditioner) series to take your listening experience to the next level.

Highlights

Typically used for larger hi-fi or home theater systems: multiple amps up to 1550W, digital/analogue sources, projector, subwoofers
6 power outlets & 3 isolated power zones
10A max. rated power output all zones combined
2x 200VA, 1x 1550VA power zones
Output zones allow you to isolate devices with switch mode PSUs from devices with linear PSUs for maximum performance
Isolate modern digital sources from analogue sources like phono preamps or turntables for least amount of interference
Cleaner power, more dynamics and larger sound stages for your amplifiers
Surge protection and DC blocker more than 2V
Over voltage and under voltage protection
Overload protection
Rigorously tested to comply with highest industry safety standards
Super-silent, low noise, balanced isolating power transformer
2400VA / 10A combined peak power
Excellent RFI attenuation of more than 57dB
Superb high-end build quality
Massive aluminium frontplate and heavy steel case protect against interference

Features

General Description
Our BPCs are equipped with multiple output zones. Each zone is capable to deliver a certain output power, which may not be exceeded. The BPC10 has a maximum output 10A split into a zone with 1550 watts and two zones with 200 watts each. BPC10 can power a larger HiFi system. It is also capable for a small home cinema with a projector, subwoofers etc., and power amplifiers with up to 1550 watts of max. power consumption. The biggest advantage of multiple zones is avoiding of differential mode cross contamination between connected electronics. We strongly recommend connecting devices with switch mode power supplies in one zone and electronics with linear power supplies in the second one. If the number of power sockets is not sufficient, a power strip can be connected as long as you don‘t exceed the maximum output power of the zone. The use of a BPC results in a larger soundstage, clearer bass contours and a better separation of instruments.
Toroidal transformer
The key to all toroidal transformer advantages is its efficiency and the key of efficiency is the transformers core. The core is a continuous strip of grain oriented silicon steel, wound as a clock spring under tension. There is no air gap, as we know from standard EI transformer, resulting in a stacking factor of 95% of its weight. Typical efficiency figures for toroidal transformer are 90% which means that 90% of the input power is transformed into output power and just 10% are converted into waste like heat, electromagnetic radiation and mechanical vibration. Toroidal transformers therefore radiate about one tenth of the magnetic field of EI transformers. Due to the Common Mode Rejection (CMR) we were also able to eliminate noise and get an even cleaner power.
Surge Protection
Musical Fidelity BPC power conditioners protect connected equipment through their innovative series mode surge suppression that also pays attention to keep the power clean. Most surge suppression circuits are shunt-mode. Excessive voltage surges are „shunted“ to ground, which raises the ground voltage and may contamine audio and video signals. Our design absorbs surges more than 2V above peak line voltage, so ground is not affected.
Overload Protection & Input Voltage Detection
When the device detects an overload, the „No-Fuse-Breaker“ will turn to protection mode. If you need to reset the device, just press the „No-Fuse-Breaker“ and check your system to be sure that the device is not overloaded. All BPCs are equipped with an Under Voltage (UVP) and Over Voltage (OVP) protection. The LEDs on the front panel show the current working status. Green means, that the device is in normal working mode. If the LED is red, check if your input voltage is correct.
