Moving Magnet Phono Equalization, Visual Indicators

BP6 Preamplifiers

MOVING MAGNET PHONO EQUALIZATION

MODULE (optional)

Bryston’s optional phono stage circuitry features highly accurate equalization, extremely low noise and distor- tion and provides headroom margins sufficient to prevent overload from any known phono source. If your turntable provides a separate ground lead system noise may be mini- mized by connecting it to the ground post adjacent to the phono inputs on the rear panel.

Input impedance is 50K ohms and sensitivity is 5mV.

DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT MODULE (optional)

The BP6DA model contains one SPDIF compatible digital audio input. To select the digital audio input, set the rotary SELECTOR to DAC. The digital-to-analog convertor can handle input sample rates from 16KHz to 108KHz, and word lengths of 16, 18, 20 or 24 bits.

VISUAL INDICATORS

The bi-colour LED (light emitting diode) located on the front panel lights GREEN when the power is on and RED when the power is on and the output is muted

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS:

●VOLUME CONTROL: Rotary control varies the output level to the main PREAMP OUT outputs (does not effect ‘TO TAPE’ outputs).

●BALANCE CONTROL: is a tailored-inflection type which has very gradual action near the center of rota- tion allowing fine adjustments to the stereo image. For convenience the electrical center of the control is detented.

●SOURCE SELECTOR SWITCH: Rotary switch deter- mines which input will appear at the “TO TAPE” outputs for recording or processing, as well as determining which program is available at the Main outputs. (When the “TAPE/NORMAL” switch is in “Tape” position, “FROM TAPE” inputs appear at Main Outputs).

●TAPE/NORMAL SWITCH: “Normal” position monitors whichever input is selected at the rotary SELECTOR switch. “Tape” position provides monitoring of the “FROM TAPE” input for A/B comparison with the source. Should an external processor or equalizer be connected in the tape loop, the ‘TAPE / NORMAL” switch will act as an in/out switch for the external equipment.
