Bryston BP6P - Manual (Page 6)

MOVING MAGNET PHONO EQUALIZATION
MODULE (optional)
Bryston’s optional phono stage circuitry features highly
accurate equalization, extremely low noise and distor-
tion and provides headroom margins sufficient to prevent
overload from any known phono source. If your turntable
provides a separate ground lead system noise may be mini-
mized by connecting it to the ground post adjacent to the
phono inputs on the rear panel.
Input impedance is 50K ohms and sensitivity is 5mV.
DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT MODULE (optional)
The BP6DA model contains one SPDIF compatible digital
audio input. To select the digital audio input, set the rotary
SELECTOR to DAC. The digital-to-analog convertor can
handle input sample rates from 16KHz to 108KHz, and
word lengths of 16, 18, 20 or 24 bits.
VISUAL INDICATORS
The bi-colour LED (light emitting diode) located on the
front panel lights GREEN when the power is on and RED
when the power is on and the output is muted
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS:
● VOLUME CONTROL: Rotary control varies the output
level to the main PREAMP OUT outputs (does not effect
‘TO TAPE’ outputs).
● BALANCE CONTROL: is a tailored-inflection type
which has very gradual action near the center of rota-
tion allowing fine adjustments to the stereo image.
For convenience the electrical center of the control is
detented.
● SOURCE SELECTOR SWITCH: Rotary switch deter-
mines which input will appear at the “TO TAPE” outputs
for recording or processing, as well as determining
which program is available at the Main outputs. (When
the “TAPE/NORMAL” switch is in “Tape” position,
“FROM TAPE” inputs appear at Main Outputs).
● TAPE/NORMAL SWITCH: “Normal” position monitors
whichever input is selected at the rotary SELECTOR
switch. “Tape” position provides monitoring of the
“FROM TAPE” input for A/B comparison with the source.
Should an external processor or equalizer be connected
in the tape loop, the ‘TAPE / NORMAL” switch will act
as an in/out switch for the external equipment.
