Balanced Power BMU-2500

The best way to extract the full potential Audio and Visual quality from any Hifi or Home Theatre system is to balance the mains. A Balanced Mains Unit (BMU) doesn’t provide the voltages to the equipment in a conventional manner. In an ordinary power supply, extension or direct wall connection, electronics will be supplied a live feed of 230-240v. A Balanced Mains Unit will split this into two separate paths of 115-120v, which are individually isolated. Thus, making both live and neutral connections carriers of the incoming voltage - and Audio Visual equipment absolutely thrives on it!
 
Our Balanced Power BMU-2500 will dramatically lower the noise floor of a system and remove any DC on the mains, even in the most severe of situations/ Offering 24 hour consistency to the sytem's performance.
 
Expect far greater timing capabilities, phase control and increased micro-detail, within a greatly improved and sizeable soundstage conveying exceptional realism allow the listener to truly hear what their system is capable of. 
Improve colour saturation and black levels on connected visual peripherals.
 
The attributes of our balanced power supply will not in any way damage the musicality of a performance, in fact the BMU-2500 with its premium selected parts will increase musicality and naturalness, allowing forlonger listening sessions.
 
Unlike many conditioning supplies, which can squash dynamic reproduction and transients, along with sucking out midrange presence and top end air, the Balanced Power BMU-2500 will enhance and release this trapped energy and information, whilst still protecting the delicate electronics and not imparting a sonic signature or colouration of it’s own. Music will make “more sense” than ever before.
 

Construction
 
The chassis of the BMU-2500 is made from thick anodised aluminium, promoting great resonance control. The chassis’ top panel is also heavily dampened with specially chosen materials in order to make it more inert.
 
Inside the BMU-2500 is a range of high quality and specifically chosen for high end audio usage components.
 
We use only the highest grade circuitry to ensure the clean flow of incoming mains supply and safety of output, manipulating it to behave in a more controlled manner prior to balancing. We do not compromise flow through conditioning circuits.
Our design champions a short and clean signal path, with all connections to each socket configured in a star formation, allowing full unimpeded power output to any individual socket. Our star earthing arrangement and ground access point on the rear panel via a 5 way 4mm binding post gives users a reference earth, which can eradicate detrimental system earthing issues.
 
The rear sockets are chosen specifically for their tight fit and ultra-low resistive properties. Each socket has a spring loaded cap which snaps shut and protects the sockets from dust and moisture when not in use.
 

 Safety In Mind
 
Protecting you and your equipment is of paramount importance to us, yet choosing safety features which are beneficial to overall sound quality can be a challenge.
The use of MCB type trip switches, such as those found in consumer unit’s are certainly not specified for audio usage. Multiple fuse rails is another option,  however if one rail blows there is still live voltage on the other to consider. Even if the fuse in a UK style plug was to blow, the power cable itself would still carry half of the voltage (120v) to the connected equipment which in extreme cases could still result in deadly harm.
 
Our safety protection covers every wire and pircr of equipment attached to the BMU-2500. Meaning if there is a fault on any part of the outputted electrical signal the entire array of balanced outputs will shut down.
 
We protect our balanced outputs with an audio specific trip which has gold plated circuit board tracks and gold plated connections along with high-grade magnesium relays to ensure the integrity of the system and signal output.
 
 
DC Blocking
 
The BMU-2500 also has a sophisticated DC Blocking circuit.
DC Blocking allows transformers to work at their optimal performance. Eliminating hum and allowing them to breath for want of a better term, so that they can effortlessly run at their full power potential without being choked by harmful DC.
 
Not only will this circuit enhance the background quietness of your listening sessions - it will also, in conjunction with the specially designed transformer isolate your equipment from the mains electrical ring in your home. Fridge/freezer pops and clicks, humming and other pink/white/brown noise from appliances, switch-mode power supplies powering practically everything in your home and communal noises from power grid capacity loads at peak usage times will be eradicated, allowing for a far cleaner and more consistent sound, regardless of the time of day or night.
 
 
Equipment Supports
 
As well as having a very inert chassis, each Balanced Power BMU-2500 comes with a set of specifically engineered equipment feet.
 
These feet comprise of two CNC’d discs of a specially formulated APC (Aluminium Polymer Compound) which deals with micro-vibrations far more effectively than its aluminium counterpart. Sandwiched between these two APC discs are three ceramic ball bearings - an excellent medium to convert vibrations into heat. The combination of materials is quite special and the effects very audible.
