PLiXiR Elite BAC 1500 MK II – Balanced Power Conditioner 1500W

Revolutionize Your Audio Experience

Introducing the PLiXiR Elite BAC 1500 MK II, the cutting-edge Balanced Power Conditioner that represents a significant leap in audio technology. Building upon the legacy of the award-winning Elite BAC, which has been in continuous production since 2016, the Elite BAC MK II enhances every aspect of performance. Audiophiles and enthusiasts alike will appreciate the advancements in sound quality, including a dramatically lower natural noise floor, enhanced dynamics, and improved PRaT (Pace, Rhythm, and Timing). This model reveals even more nuanced details and aural subtleties, delivering a richer, fuller sound without compromising the neutral and natural tonal quality that PLiXiR is renowned for.

Exceptional Features

Fully Symmetrical Balanced Transformers
At the heart of the Elite BAC MK II is a newly designed Fully Symmetrical Balanced Transformer, custom-crafted to our specifications by Noratel. This innovative transformer utilizes their proprietary XQ core, which is engineered for maximum performance. The advanced design features tightly matched transformer windings and introduces an integrated external magnetic shield that reduces flux leakage and enhances damping. These enhancements result in superior noise cancellation, achieving an even lower noise floor and delivering a purer, more natural tone. The improved dynamics ensure that all components work in perfect synchronization, elevating your listening experience to new heights.

Robust Casing Design
The Elite BAC MK II is encased in an extra-rigid aluminum vault casing, meticulously crafted from thick, precision-extruded, and CNC-machined aluminum slabs. The new casing design minimizes joints compared to the original Elite BAC, resulting in further sound quality improvement. The substantial 8mm thick aluminum bottom plate provides excellent stability and anchors the entire casing, preventing unwanted vibrations from affecting performance.

Advanced Vibration Control
Understanding the detrimental effects of vibrations on audio quality, we have incorporated Bfly Audio’s “Pure” Series isolation footers specifically designed for the Elite BAC MK II. These custom-made footers, developed in Germany, utilize a multi-layer, composite material that effectively isolates the unit from both self-induced and environmental vibrations. This isolation contributes significantly to the natural sound signature of the Elite BAC MK II, allowing for a cleaner and more authentic listening experience.

Master-Crafted Build Quality
Every PLiXiR Elite BAC MK II is hand-crafted by master craftsmen, ensuring meticulous attention to detail. To maximize audio fidelity, we prioritize point-to-point direct soldering for all electrical connections, minimizing the use of connectors and joints that could compromise sound quality. In the final stages of production, each unit undergoes rigorous quality control testing and sound tuning, conducted by James Soh, the Chief Designer and Founder of PLiXiR Power. This dedication to craftsmanship guarantees that each Elite BAC MK II meets the highest standards of reliability and embodies the signature PLiXiR sound.

Upgrade Your System

To fully leverage the capabilities of the Elite BAC MK II and maintain a balanced power supply throughout your audio setup, consider upgrading with the PLiXiR Supreme Balanced AC Power Cable. This flagship cable represents the pinnacle of PLiXiR’s proprietary Balanced AC power cable architecture, offering substantial improvements over the previous Statement model.

Key Features of the Supreme Balanced AC Power Cable:

• Ultra-Pure Conductors: The Supreme cable utilizes thick gauge UPOCC (Ultra Pure Ohno Continuous Casting Process) copper conductors, enhancing conductor purity and reducing structural grain and stress. This results in superior current delivery and a sound characterized by greater body, nuance, and inner detail.
• Optimized Geometry: The balanced cable architecture is meticulously optimized to improve common mode noise rejection, further lowering the noise floor while preserving the speed and neutral tone of the cable.
• Premium Connectors: The cable features Furutech FI-46 NCF Gold Plated Connectors and endpoint vibration damping materials, ensuring better shielding and a secure, long-lasting, low impedance connection. Each connector is designed specifically with the cable’s performance in mind, guaranteeing a reliable end-to-end connection.
