PLiXiR Elite BAC 1000 MKII Balanced Power Conditioner
The PLiXiR Elite BAC 1000 MK II is the next evolution in Balanced Power Conditioning, building upon the acclaimed performance of the original Elite BAC. Designed for high-end audio systems, this new generation conditioner delivers significant improvements across every sonic dimension. Listeners can expect a lower natural noise floor, heightened dynamics, enhanced PRaT (Pace, Rhythm and Timing), and a deeper sense of musical detail—all while preserving PLiXiR’s signature neutral, natural tonal balance. At the heart of the Elite BAC MK II is a newly developed Fully Symmetrical Balanced Transformer, custom-made by Noratel with their proprietary XQ (Extra Quiet) core.
This innovation minimizes hum, vibration, and AC mains interference, resulting in a cleaner, more focused sound. Transformer windings are precisely matched for improved noise cancellation and dynamic coherence. Further enhancements include an upgraded chassis, PLiXiR-designed OFC internal wiring, and Bfly “Pure” footers to reduce vibration. The integrated external magnetic shield reduces flux leakage and enhances damping for even greater clarity. Whether you're upgrading from the original Elite BAC or seeking top-tier power conditioning for your audio setup, the Elite BAC MK II delivers a refined and immersive listening experience that sets a new standard in its class.
Casing
Extra rigid aluminium vault casing – Thick precision extruded and CNC machined aluminium slabs form the casing for the PLiXiR Elite BAC MK II. The new casing design has even less joints over the original Elite BAC that improves the general sound further. The bottom plate is a hefty 8mm thick plate of aluminium that anchors the whole casing.
Vibration Control
Isolated by Bfly Audio - We use a customed made Bfly Audio's “Pure” Series isolation footers from Germany for our Elite BAC MK II. The multi layer, composite material design of the Bfly footers isolate the Elite BAC MK II from the ill effects of self and environmental vibration and contribute to the natural sound of the Elite BAC MK II.
Master-crafted
Build and tested by Master craftsman -- Each BAC is hand-made by a master craftsman. As much as possible, all electrical connections are done by point to point direct soldering with minimal use of connectors and joints that degrades sound. At the final stage, all Elite BAC MK II is QC tested and sound tuned by James Soh, the Chief Designer and Founder of PLiXiR Power to ensure reliability and the PLiXiR Sound for each PLiXiR product.
Here is what PLiXiR say about the BAC 1000 MKII

Based on the award winning Elite BAC, which has been in continual production since 2016, the Elite BAC MK II improves upon the original on all performance aspects.The Elite BAC MK II features our newly designed Fully Symmetrical Balanced Transformers, made to our spec by Noratel with their proprietary XQ core.
