Musical Fidelity BPC5 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 BPC5 is a balanced power conditioner for systems built around one amplifier up to 800 W, along with digital and analog source components, phono preamps, preamps, and CD players. It is designed to give hi-fi 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 BPC5, four outlets are divided across one 200 VA zone and one 800 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 BPC5 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.
