General
Welcome
Thank you for your purchase of a Bryston PS3
DC Power Supply. The PS3 is specially designed
to power select Bryston electronics. Careful
engineering and top-quality parts have been used
to ensure that your PS3 provides extremely well
regulated and filtered DC power to ensure the best
possible performance from mated electronics. Your
feedback is important. We look to our customers
for a measure of success. Please feel free to contact
us with any feedback you may have about your
product or purchase. Thanks again for owning
Bryston electronics.
Description
The Bryston PS3 is designed to power a single
Bryston BP2 series phono preamplifier. With a
specially supplied Bryston DC cable (part no.
#104045), it can also be used with a variety of
other Bryston equipment when an external power
supply is required. It accepts AC mains power, and
produces a clean DC supply which is then used by
select Bryston equipment which does not already
have a built-in power supply. The PS3 is not a
general-purpose audio power supply and must only
be used with specified Bryston equipment and be
connected only with the supplied cable.
Features
Bryston PS3 includes the following features:
• AC mains input (see Data Plate on page 6) and
DC output.
• All steel chassis provides excellent shielding
against environmental noise.
• Fully analog power supply, toroidal transformer.
• Highly effective filtration and regulation
provides clean DC output.
• Compatibility with many Bryston products
such as BP2 phono preamplifiers and BP26
preamplifiers.
Shipping Box and Packing Material
Please keep the original shipping box and all
4
packing material. This will ensure the PS3 is
protected in future transport. In the unlikely event
you have a problem and must return it for service,
you must use the proper packing material. Ship the
unit only in the original packing material, as the unit
is not insurable by carriers otherwise. Replacement
packing materials consisting of a shipping carton
with plastic foam inserts is available from Bryston
for a small fee.
Installation and Usage
Placement
When practical, the PS3 should not be placed
immediately above or below audio electronics
sensitive to noise. Avoid stacking the PS3 when
possible.
Ventilation
The PS3 is a cool-running power supply. Under
normal circumstances, it will operate at slightly
above ambient temperature. However, it should
not be tightly enclosed or otherwise completely
obstructed from normal air flow upon which it relies
for proper cooling. It may be placed above, beside,
or below other electronics provided those units do
not generate a substantial amount of heat or fully
obstruct airflow as described above.
Connecting to A/C Power
Please check the Data Plate on the right rear of the
amplifier to verify power requirements agree with
your location. See Data Plate. Plug the IEC-320
C14 end of the power cord into the amplifier, then
plug the other end into an approved and grounded
A/C receptacle. The power supply may now be
connected to partnering Bryston audio electronics.
Connecting to a BP2 Phono Preamplifier
Your BP2 phono preamplifier includes a DC power
cable terminated to fit the preamplifier on one end
and the PS3 on the other. Connect the PS3 to your
phono preamplifier accordingly. The sockets are
locking and can only be released by depressing the
lock tab on the PS3 or attached device.
