Protect Your Audio Equipment and Get Isolated Zones for Improved Sound: Four-Outlet Musical Fidelity BPC3 Balanced Power Conditioner Handles Source Components, Lower-Powered Amps, and More

Designed for source components, preamplifiers, and a low-power amplifier, the Musical Fidelity BPC3 balanced power conditioner offers four outlets, two isolated power zones, and an easy way to separate your digital and analog devices for lessened interference. Delivering clean power as well as surge protection, over- and under-voltage protection, overload protection, and DC blocker, BPC3 will also reward you sonically in the form of broader dynamics, bigger soundstages, increased instrumental separation, and clearer details. 

Built to high-end specifications and rigorously tested to comply with top-tier safety standards, BPC3 offers 300VA of power per zone. Inside, the 3.94 x 17.32 x 15.75-inch (HWD), BPC3 relies on an ultra-quiet balanced isolating toroidal transformer to do the heavy lifting. With outstanding RFI attenuation of more than 57dB and a heavy steel case that further guards against interference, it is a proven and simple way to not only protect your valuable components — but to experience heightened sound quality.

Toroidal Transformer
The key to all toroidal transformer advantages is its efficiency, and the key of efficiency is the transformer’s core. The core is a continuous strip of grain oriented silicon steel, wound as a clock spring under tension. There is no air gap, resulting in a stacking factor of 95% of its weight. Typical efficiency figures for toroidal transformers are 90%, which means that 90% of the input power is transformed into output power and just 10% converted into waste like heat, electromagnetic radiation, and mechanical vibration. Toroidal transformers therefore radiate about one tenth of the magnetic field of EI transformers. 

Overload Protection and 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 over-loaded. 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. 

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 contaminate audio and video signals. BPC designs absorb surges more than 2V above peak line voltage, so ground is not affected.
