Musical Fidelity's BPC (Balanced Power Conditioner) series is designed to improve on that power. BPC16 is built for big stereo amplifiers, power-hungry mono-blocks, and home theater systems with large multi-channel amplifiers. It offers 8 power outlets split into 3 isolated power zones — two 600VA zones and one 2000VA zone — so you can isolate devices with switch-mode power supplies from devices with linear power supplies for maximum performance. The unique 2000W zone is sized for the biggest power amplifiers, mono-blocks, or multichannel home cinema amplifiers. Musical Fidelity states the result is cleaner power, more dynamics, and a larger soundstage.

Musical Fidelity recommends connecting devices with switch-mode power supplies to one zone and devices with linear power supplies to another, with the dedicated 2000W zone reserved for the biggest power amplifiers, mono-blocks, or multichannel home cinema amplifiers. A power strip can be added to any zone as long as its combined output doesn't exceed that zone's rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eToroidal Transformer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBPC16 uses a toroidal transformer, wound from a continuous strip of grain-oriented silicon steel with no air gap, typically reaching around 90% efficiency versus a standard EI transformer. Musical Fidelity states this design radiates roughly one-tenth the magnetic field of an EI transformer and, combined with Common Mode Rejection, helps eliminate noise for cleaner power delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSurge and Overload Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBPC16 uses series-mode surge suppression rather than the more common shunt-mode design, which shunts excess voltage to ground and can raise ground voltage enough to contaminate audio and video signals. Musical Fidelity's design absorbs surges more than 2V above peak line voltage without affecting ground. If the unit detects an overload, its No-Fuse-Breaker switches to protection mode and can be manually reset once the overload is resolved; under-voltage and over-voltage protection are also built in, with front-panel LEDs showing current status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110-120V \/ 220-240V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRFI attenuation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt; 57dB @ 235kHz, \u0026gt; 40dB up to 1MHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIsolated power zones\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2x 600VA, 1x 2000VA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeak combined power output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5000VA \/ 20A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum rated power output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2000VA \/ 16A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower outlets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransformer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalanced toroidal power transformer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSurge protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries-mode, DC blocker ≥2V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMains voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110-120V \/ 220-240V, 50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4000W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e440 x 162 x 400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38.9 kg net \/ 44.5 kg boxed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat equipment should I connect to this?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBPC16 is built for big stereo amplifiers, power-hungry mono-blocks, and home theater systems with large multi-channel amplifiers, using its dedicated 2000W zone plus two 600VA zones for additional sources or amps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does this compare to the BPC10?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/musical-fidelity-bpc10-power-conditioner\"\u003eBPC10\u003c\/a\u003e offers a 1550VA main zone with two 200VA zones.
