CONNECTING YOUR BUSINESS TO THE TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES INTRODUCTION:
YOU NEED Thank you for choosing a Bryston Preamplifier. Bryston welcomes any sugges-
tions 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.
SETUP:
The Bryston BP-19 preamp, with remote-control, should be placed where there is
a direct line-of-sight between the hand-held remote and the remote infra-red
sensor eye located on the left side of the pre-amplifier's front panel. If you pur-
chased the BP-19P or BP-19MC, both of which include a Phono section, avoid
placing the preamplifier directly on top of your power amplifier. Power amplifiers
usually employ large power supplies and the transformers in the power supplies
can cause interference (hum) with the sensitive phono section inside the pre-
amp.

FULLY DISCRETE FULLY BALANCED CLASS 'A' ANALOG CIRCUITS:
The BP-19 analog preamplifier is a byproduct of years of R&D that resulted in the
development of an optimized fully discrete opamp buffer amplifier capable of
delivering a staggeringly low THD+N measurement at or below 0.0006%. The
analog signal path is a FULLY BALANCED DESIGN from input to output, using an
array of very tightly matched components and a compact circuit design to
achieve the lowest possible noise and superior common mode rejection.
Connect the pre-amplifier's left and right outputs from either the RCA or Bal-
anced 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 10 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. With phono stage equipped models, (BP-19P & BP-
19MC) connect your phono cables to the phono input jacks. If your turntable
leads have a separate ground wire, it may be connected to the ground post adja-
cent to the phono inputs on the rear panel.
