BP26 Preamplifier
The Bryston BP26 preamplifier offers a significant step forward in capturing the subtleties, nuances, and emotions of recorded music. All aspects of the signal flow are enhanced with lower noise and distortion figures, and higher load levels, offering a rich and vibrant audio experience.
Input: 2x XLR balanced pairs, 5x RCA single ended pairs (4x with DAC, MM or MC phono), 2x SPDIF**, RCA single ended phono***, RCA single ended (tape loop)
Output: XLR Balanced, 2x RCA single ended pairs
Features:
•Low noise floor
•Steel cabinet shielding to reduce EMI
•Gold plated switch, contacts, and connectors
•Outboard MPS-2 power supply required (see Power Supply in Other Products)*
Options:
•Available with silver or black faceplate
•17” or 19” faceplate available (non-rack mountable)
•Optional BR2 remote control (see Accessories in Other Products)
•Optional internal DAC, MM phono, or MC phono (see Accessories in Other Products)
* The BP26 can be used without an additional power supply (if you currently own a MPS-2 power supply with one of our other products) by daisy chaining the existing product with the BP26.
BP-26 SERIES PREAMPLIFIER
Designed inside and out to reflect the improvements in the entire Bryston line, these new preamplifiers are a perfect match to our SST C-Series of amplifiers. All aspects of the signal flow are greatly improved, with lower noise and distortion figures, and higher overload levels.
All BP-26 series preamplifiers are housed in steel cabinets for shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference effects. Buffered inputs provide for lower distortion and improved linearity from source components. A ground plane has been incorporated in this new design to further reduce crosstalk and noise throughout the internal circuitry. The power supply (MPS-2) is mounted externally to eliminate power-supply noise interference.
Each and every BP-26 C-Series preamplifier is assembled by hand and burned in for 100 hours to ensure performance for many years to come. It is backed by a Warranty — unrivaled in the industry.
REMOTE CONTROL FEATURE
The BP-26 includes a remote control with motor driven volume up/down, along with mute and absolute phase reversal buttons. Volume, mute and absolute phase can also be activated manually on the front of the preamplifier if the need arises.
