IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated “dangerous voltage “ within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

BP26 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.
BP26 Preamplifiers are capable of driving 30 volts into any load of 600 ohms or greater. Do not short any of these three pins together! Single-ended or unbalanced outputs: As with unbalanced inputs, these connectors are gold plated RCA (phono) jacks. They are capable of driving 15 volts into any load of 600 ohms or greater. TAPE LOOP Tape Outputs: The “TO TAPE” outputs are selected by the rotary ‘SOURCE” knob and are provided as a recording output.
BP26 Preamplifiers FRONT PANEL CONTROLS: MUTE/NORMAL TOGGLE SWITCH: Mutes or releases mute at the main outputs, (not ‘To Tape’ outputs), without changing the volume control setting, each time pushed. POLARITY/INVERT TOGGLE SWITCH: Reverses polarity at main outputs each time pushed. (GREEN LED indicates positive polarity, YELLOW LED indicates inverse polarity). VOLUME CONTROL: Rotary control varies the output level to the ‘MAIN OUTPUTS’, (does not effect ‘TO TAPE’ outputs).
