PliXiR has introduced the new Elite BAC2000 MK II, an AC power conditioner that forms part of the Elite MK II series.
PliXiR is expanding the Elite MK II range with the Elite BAC2000 MK II, a newly developed True Balanced AC power conditioner positioned between the BAC1500 MK II and the BAC3000 MK II. According to the manufacturer, this model is aimed at medium-sized to full-fledged high-end audio systems that require more power reserve and stability than the BAC1500 can provide, while the size and weight of the BAC3000 may be less practical. With a maximum output of 2000 watts and a weight of 34 kg, the BAC2000 MK II is said to offer a carefully considered balance between capacity, mechanical stability and practicality. In other words: the qualities of the BAC3000 MK II, implemented in a more compact and lighter chassis.
True Balanced Power architecture
Like all Elite MK II models, the BAC2000 MK II uses PliXiR’s True Balanced Power architecture. This is built around a fully symmetrical transformer manufactured by Noratel to PliXiR’s specifications. “One of the key design goals is an extremely low output impedance. This ensures that connected components are supplied with power instantly and without restriction, even under fast and dynamic load conditions. The result is a stable power foundation without compression, while retaining speed, control and natural tonal colours,” the manufacturer states.
PliXiR continues: “Thanks to the True Balanced transformer design, the delivered power is stable and free from DC-related disturbances, without the need for additional correction or aggressive filtering. This allows current delivery to remain unhindered and musical coherence to be preserved, even in complex or highly dynamic systems.
The transformer forms the heart of a carefully balanced design, complemented by PliXiR OFC internal wiring, fully CNC-machined aluminium front and rear panels, bFly Audio Pure Series vibration dampers, and a dedicated grounding terminal. Each component contributes to lowering the noise floor and improving transparency, timing and control.”
All PliXiR products are hand-built in Singapore and personally tuned by founder and designer James Soh, with what the brand describes as a strong focus on consistency, reliability and musical performance.
