CONNECTING YOUR BUSINESS TO THE TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES
BALANCED OUTPUTS:
As with the input XLR jacks, pin 1 is ground, pin 2 is positive and pin 3 is negative.
These outputs are capable of driving 12 volts into any load of 1K ohms or greater.
Do not use traditional XLR to RCA adapters that
short pins 1 and 3!
SINGLE ENDED OUTPUTS (RCA):
As with unbalanced inputs, these connectors are gold plated RCA (phono) jacks.
They are capable of driving 12 volts into any load of 1K ohms or greater.
The Mute button mutes the main outputs (both balanced and unbalanced) of the
preamplifier.
PHONO EQUALIZATION MODULES (OPTIONAL):
Bryston's optional phono equalizer circuitry features highly accurate equaliza-
tion, extremely low noise and distortion and provides headroom margins suffi-
cient to prevent overload from any known phono source. If your turntable pro-
vides 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.
Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge Input (MM): This is Bryston's standard RIAA
phono equalization stage. It is found in both the "-P" and "-MC" versions of the
BP-19 preamp. Input impedance is 47K ohms and sensitivity is 5mV.
Moving Coil Phono Cartridge Input (MC): Moving coil phono cartridges require
much more gain than the more common moving magnet types. To accommodate
moving coil cartridges Bryston offers the BP-19MC pre-amp which include spe-
cially designed, custom-made step-up transformers in addition to Bryston's
standard RIAA phono equalization stage found in the "-P" versions of the BP-19
pre-amp.
Which phono equalization stages are engaged is determined by the front panel
display menu "MC Phono / MM Phono". Please note that it is important that
your phono cartridge is connected to the correct inputs (INPUT 1) in order to
achieve proper performance. Input impedance is 180 ohms and sensitivity is
350uV
VISUAL INDICATORS:
The LED on the front panel of the BP-19 lights GREEN when power is on. RED in
standby. Display is white.

BRYSTON BR-4 REMOTE:
You may control many functions of the
BP-19 with Bryston's included Remote
utilizing the Preamp button. The six ana-
log inputs have six buttons on the front
panel and Volume, Mute, and Power are
also available.
