Balanced outputs, using 3 pin male XLR jacks. ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS: BP-19 preamplifiers are equipped with four pairs of RCA input connectors: two pairs of balanced XLR input connectors. Balanced inputs use 3 pin XLR female connectors with pin 1 being ground, pin 2 as positive signal, and pin 3 as nega- tive signal.
They are capable of driving 12 volts into any load of 1K ohms or greater. 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...
