Specs for Factor One BMU-2510se is a 10 socket version of our Award Winning BMU-2500. The SE or “Special Edition” in terms of this BMU-2510SE custom & takes the performance even further.
- The heart of the BMU-2510SE is a bespoke carefully crafted, extremely tight tolerance balanced toroidal transformer with 4 layers of shielding. We work closely with the manufacturer to ensure that all of our transformers conform to our exacting standards and from one transformer to the next measurements fall within the smallest of margins making one transformer arguably identical to each and every consecutive build.
- The input socket is a 20A Viborg Pure Copper with 5 layers of Gold Plating C20 type IEC for maximum line input conductivity.
- Our inrush protection and soft-start circuit is cleverly built to slowly over a 4.5 second period allow the transformer to charge with any sudden fluctuations which can trip consumer units and harm connected equipment. The unique design means that once this process is completed a relay ‘click’ can be heard and the circuit then moves out of the way, not to interfere with the incoming power any longer.
- Our DC removal circuitry is fast acting and allows for large amounts of DC to be shunted to ground. We use Mundorf Silver capacitors and resistors alongside high current Schokty diodes to ensure a reliable and transparent route to a clean pathway for the incoming live circuit to thrive, small notches in the waveform caused by the incoming DC are then intelligently rebuilt by additional circuitry on the fly to remove any residual distortion.
- All PCB tracks are gold plated copper.
- Custom produced gauge specific to our requirements Neotech UP-OCC in Teflon wiring is used across all input and output power lines. The specific gauge alleviates the bass bloom of thicker gauge cables along with loss of leading edge precision. In comparison to thinner gauge cabling our specific strand formula negates leanness of the upper bass, restricted dynamics and an over/emphasis on the top end - allowing for a more balanced and Coherant performance.
- Heavily silver plated copper earth wire - the material allows for a very high-speed earthing solution with incredibly low resistance.
- All wiring looms are starred, there is no series wiring anywhere.
- A high conductivity Biborg Pure Vopper Gold Played earthing piston sits at the rear to allow other sources of grounding to all utilise the BMU-2510SE’s master ground point reference.
- Alongside this reference ground is our own large grounding box with a massive 4.35kg of material in an ABS copper lined enclosure which feeds into the grounding system directly at its star point to condition and lower the noise floor even further.
- Safety is paramount, so the rear panel switch is a dual circuit breaker capable of shutting down all the output sockets in the event of a short. This circuit breaker is an audiophile grade product which utilises gold traces and input output terminals with magnesium relays.
- The Power Output Sockets are Viborg Pure Copper with 5 layers of 24ct Gold Plating to give an unimpeded low resistance, high conductivity output.
- The chassis itself is made from CNC cut sheets of aircraft grade aluminium for its strength and inert abilities . This material is lined with a damping material to eliminate high-frequency resonances even further.
- The feet on the underside are a version of our OMEX equipment supports. They are produced using an Aluminium Polymer Compound which fat exceeds the ability to remove resonances over a standard aluminium. Sandwiched between these layers is an array of ceramic balks to help dissipate vibration as heat.
