BP20/25 PreAmplifiers INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing a Bryston PreAmplifier. Bryston welcomes any suggestions you may have, or comments regarding the operation of your amplifier. We consider you, our customer, to be Bryston’s most important resource, and your opinion is very much appreciated.
BP20/25 PreAmplifiers Connect the pre-amplifier's left and right outputs from either the RCA or Balanced XLR connectors to the appropriate left and right input jacks on your power amplifier. Balanced cables are an advantage if you are using long runs of cable, (greater than 20 feet), between your preamplifier and power amplifier. Connect your CD player, tuner, tape deck, video recorder, or laser disc, etc. to the specific left/right preamplifier inputs.
BP20/25 PreAmplifiers PHONO EQUALIZATION MODULES (Optional): FRONT PANEL CONTROLS: Bryston’s phono equalizer circuitry is available in both BP20 and BP25 pre-amplifiers. It features highly accurate equalization, extremely low noise and distortion 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 minimized by connecting it to the ground post adjacent to the phono inputs on the rear panel.
