Bryston Powerpac 60/120/300, Power Clipping Indicator

BRYSTON POWERPAC 60/120/300

Input and Output Connectors:

Bryston PowerPac amplifiers come standard with two input connectors: one un- balanced RCA/phono connector and a bal- anced combination XLR - 1/4-inch jack with fully discrete active input circuitry.

All input connectors are gold-plated and should only be used only with high- quality, gold-plated interconnect cable as a poorly plated connector will eventually cor- rode through the gold flash.

Bryston offers interconnect cables with heavily gold plated, quality connectors available through any Bryston authorized dealer or directly from Bryston.

Output connectors consist of one pair of five-way binding post terminals (1 red and 1 black) that can accept either standard banana plugs, spade lugs, pins or bare wire. Since the binding posts are gold- plated, we recommend gold plated connec- tors also be used on the speaker cables.

All Bryston amplifiers will accept bal- anced or single-ended (RCA) input connec- tors. The balanced inputs use combination 3-pin XLR (pin-1-ground), (pin-2-+) and 1/4-inch tip-(+), ring and sleeve (ground) input connectors.

Grounding and Ground LIft Switch (except PP300 and PP120):

A ground lift switch is located on the front panel of the amplifier. It is connected between the chassis ground (including the third prong on the power cord) and the signal ground.

This switch is normally left in the con- nected (up) position. Occasionally a multi- amplifier installation or an unusual grounding situation with another component (CD player, video recorder, television etc.) will cause a

ground loop between the signal ground and the chassis ground. This switch will reduce the resultant hum in many cases without re- sorting to a “ cheater plug ” by switching to the separated (down) position.

Note: this switch does not disconnect the chassis from the third prong on the power cord which must be left intact for safety reasons.

Power Clipping Indicator

Dual colour LED pilot lights indicating GREEN at normal level, flashing RED at clipping.
