PLiXiR Elite BDC MK II Dual Output Balanced Power Supply Reference linear DC power supply with 3-stage noise regulation

Specifications

Dual Output

The PLiXiR Elite Dual Output version is designed to power two devices with the same voltage, and the sum of output current (Amps) for the two devices must not exceed the limit of the PLiXiR power supply. This is an elegant and cost-effective way to power two devices with one PLiXiR power supply. The performance is vastly superior to the popular Y-splitter cable method. Both outputs on the power supply share the same source and have the same performance.

Noise and Voltage Regulation

The PLiXiR Elite BDC MK II balanced DC power supply, designed to reduce all types of noise present in a DC power source, has now become even better! With insights garnered from our flagship Statement BDC, we have improved the Elite BDC design with increased capacitance of output capacitors and improved layout scheme with our proprietary Star + Ground plane design. The Elite BDC MK II has an even lower noise floor, better dynamics and more body when compared to the original. The reduced variant (1-output 3A or 2-output 5A) makes choosing the right power supply easier as well.

A proprietary ground-up approach begins with a balanced AC power design, along with a two-stage voltage regulation consisting of an open-loop first-stage pre-regulator and a close-loop feedback second stage. The first stage pre-regulation filters the bulk of the noise, specifically the high-frequency noise, and the heat from the second stage voltage regulator. The 2 stage regulation is designed as a “gate” to prevent the downstream noise from crossing back to the AC power.

Custom Transformer by Noratel

The basis of the Elite series products is a single-winding power transformer, custom-made according to the PLiXiR specification by the reputable English company Noratel. These transformers have a unique core and are true balanced, bifilar wound using the patented XQ (eXtra Quiet) technology. This provides better noise isolation, power conditioning, and optimal system grounding for your system in a single package.

Handcrafted

All PLiXiR products are handcrafted in Singapore. The ability to control all aspects of the PCB and product assembly allows PLiXiR to fully optimise the performance and sound for all their products. Electrical connections are done to the furthest extent using point-to-point direct soldering. Another important point is the use of selected premium components including ultra-low-impedance capacitors, high-current connectors, and high-purity copper cables.

Each product is uniquely made. No cookie cutter process, which focuses on production quantity but sacrifice performance, is allowed here. PLiXiR exists to make good products, not more products. The final tuning is done by James Soh, the founder, for the PLiXiR sound.
