Musical Fidelity BPC3 Power Conditioner

A balanced power conditioner with 4 outlets, 2 isolated power zones, a balanced toroidal transformer, RFI attenuation, surge protection, DC blocking, and voltage protection

The Musical Fidelity BPC3 is a balanced power conditioner for digital and analog source components, phono preamps, preamps, CD players, turntables, TVs, and very low-powered amplifiers. It is designed to give sensitive front-end components 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 BPC3, four outlets are divided across two 300 VA zones, 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 BPC3 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.
