Musical Fidelity BPC16 Power Conditioner

A balanced power conditioner with 8 outlets, 3 isolated power zones, a balanced toroidal transformer, RFI attenuation, surge protection, DC blocking, and voltage protection

The Musical Fidelity BPC16 is a balanced power conditioner for big stereo amplifiers, power-hungry monoblocks, and home theater systems with large multichannel amplifiers. It is designed to give demanding systems a cleaner, more isolated AC supply while keeping system organization simple.

The BPC architecture uses separate output zones so connected components can be grouped by power-supply type or function. On the BPC16, eight outlets are divided across two 600 VA zones and one 2,000 VA zone, allowing switch-mode power supplies to be kept away from electronics with linear power supplies and helping reduce differential-mode cross-contamination between components.

At the center of the BPC16 is a super-silent, low-noise balanced toroidal isolating power transformer. Musical Fidelity specifies RFI attenuation of more than 57 dB at 235 kHz and more than 40 dB up to 1 MHz, with common-mode rejection, series-mode surge protection, DC blocking, and over-voltage, under-voltage, and overload protection.
