Bryston products are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects for a minimum of 20, (twenty), years from the original date of manu- facture. This includes all parts, labor and one- way return shipping. This warranty covers the original owner and any subsequent owners. The warranty is retroactive for any Bryston product purchased within the last twenty years. Tam-

pering by anyone other than factory authorized personnel voids the warranty. Warranty service may be obtained by returning the unit to any authorized Bryston dealer or distributor. You may also contact the Bryston factory or national service offices directly at the location listed on the rear page of this manual.

Please keep the original box and all packing material. This will ensure the amplifier is pro- tected in the unlikely event you have a problem and must return it for service. No warranty card is necessary to initiate your coverage. Please refer to the back page for more detailed war- ranty information.

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
