Bryston BP1.5 Description:

The Bryston BP1.5 Phono Stage is a high qual- ity broadcast grade Phono Stage offering both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridge step- up capabilities.

The BP1.5 comes with an separate outboard power supply to minimize noise and distortion.

The BP1.5 can be used without an additional power supply if you currently own a Bryston BP20 or BP25 Preamplifier. The outboard power supply for the BP20/25 can be utilized to power the BP1.5 as well with the supplied ca- ble.

(See Figures 1 and 2 , Page 5)

Input Capacitance Loading for MM Section:

The Moving-magnet input capacitance switch is located on the rear panel and consists of a four element DIP (Dual In Line) switch and eight high precision capacitors (4 capacitors for the left and 4 capacitors for the right channel). This en- sures the correct amount of capacitance across the phono cartridge to provide accurate per- formance.

Each switch adds in one capacitor (47 pf).

Switches 1 to 4 add capacitance to BOTH LEFT and RIGHT inputs simultaneously . Any or all of the DIP switches may be activated ( placed in the upper position for On ) at one time or, in the lower position (Off), meaning no capacitance is placed across the phone inputs. As each ca- pacitor is switched in the total capacitance in- creases cumulatively Total value for each chan- nel is 188 pf per channel
