The model sits between the BAC 1500 MK II and the BAC 3000 MK II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePLiXiR describes the BAC 2000 MK II as a lighter, easier-to-handle variant of the BAC 3000 MK II. It is intended for installations that require more capacity than the BAC 1500 MK II can optimally provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith 2000 W maximum and 1400 W continuous power, this model is suitable for a medium to large stereo installation. Think of an integrated amplifier or a pre- and power amplifier combination, supplemented with a DAC, streamer and other sources. Whether your entire installation is suitable depends on the power consumption of all connected devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBalanced mains power conditioner: how does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA balanced mains power conditioner uses a transformer with a symmetrical output. The two power conductors are at equal, opposite voltages relative to ground. PLiXiR uses this principle to reduce noise through the mains power supply and the grounding of connected equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy symmetrical power supply lowers the noise floor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea of symmetry is comparable to that of a balanced signal connection, but the application and electrical operation are not identical. In the Elite BAC MK II, the transformer windings are more precisely matched to each other. This improves noise suppression and lowers the natural noise floor. In addition, one experiences more dynamics and a more natural rendering of details. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMains conditioning is not the same as surge protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe BAC 2000 MK II uses a balanced transformer as the core of its mains conditioning. Do not automatically consider a mains power conditioner as surge or lightning protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNoratel XQ transformer: the core of the BAC 2000 MK II\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does XQ mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fully symmetrical transformer is built by Noratel according to PLiXiR specifications. XQ stands for Extra Quiet and refers to Noratel's proprietary magnetic core material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to PLiXiR, this material offers the lowest hum and vibration of the cores they have tested, along with strong isolation against DC components in the mains network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnetic shielding and winding technique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MK II design has more precisely matched transformer windings and integrated external magnetic shielding. That shielding is intended to reduce magnetic leakage flux and improve the damping of the transformer. The design goal is a lower noise floor and a purer rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh-end audio power conditioner: build quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAluminium vault enclosure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure consists of thick, precisely extruded and CNC-machined aluminium parts. The design has fewer connections than the original Elite BAC enclosure. An 8 mm aluminium base plate forms the solid foundation of the device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBfly Audio Pure feet and OFC wiring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elite BAC MK II series uses custom-made Bfly Audio Pure isolation feet from Germany. The multi-layer composite construction is intended to limit vibrations from the device itself and the environment. The internal wiring consists of OFC copper wire designed by PLiXiR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach device is built by hand. Where possible, electrical connections are soldered directly, with as few intermediate connectors as possible.
