Balancing Art & Science for Musical Integrity

BP26 SERIES PREAMPLIFIERS

Bryston's BP26 series preamplifiers offer a significant step forward in capturing the subtleties, nuances and emotions of recorded music. Designed inside and out to reflect the improvements in the entire Bryston line, these preamplifiers are a perfect match to our new SST series of amplifiers. All aspects of the signal flow are greatly improved, with lower noise and distortion figures, and higher overload levels.

FEATURES INCLUDE

  • Intermodulation distortion has been reduced to less than .0015% from 20 to 20kHz.

  • The noise floor has been significantly improved, reducing background hash to far below audibility.

  • Input to input crosstalk is essentially nonexistant to eliminate signal bleed-through from one source to another.

  • Components plug directly into glass-epoxy circuit boards, eliminating variations in signal travel and wire interaction.

  • Signal switching and audio connections utilize heavy gold plating to provide long-term trouble-free connections.

  • Gold plated balanced and unbalanced input and output connectors are standard.

  • A 12 volt AC/DC screw terminal connector on the rear of the power supply provides for a convenient remote start feature available on all Bryston amplifiers.

All BP26 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 transformer is mounted externally to eliminate power-supply noise interference.

Each and every BP26 series amplifier is assembled by hand and burned in for 100 hours to ensure performance for many years to come. It is backed by a 20 Year Warranty - unrivaled in the industry.


Preamplifiers for the Music Connoisseur

THE BRYSTON BP26 SERIES OF AVAILABLE PREAMPLIFIERS:

MODEL BP26

  • BP26 Line level preamplifier with remote control
  • BP26P Line level preamplifier with mm phono stage and remote control
  • BP26MC Line level preamplifier with mc, mm phono stage and remote control
  • BP26DA Line level preamplifier with 2 DAC inputs and remote control

DAC OPTION

The new BP26 DA preamplifier provides a digital interface using premium quality digital to analogue converters on 2 switchable stereo SPDIF inputs (RCA) and Bryston's fully discrete Class A operational preamplifier sections.

This digital to analog option provides a state of the art upgrade path for customers wanting to improve the digital capability of their stereo CD or DVD players. Simply plug the digital out from your CD/DVD player into the Bryston BP26 DA. The quality of sound using fully discrete Class A operational amplifiers, rather than the typical IC's, has to be heard to be believed.

REMOTE CONTROL FEATURE

The BP-26 version 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 preamplifiers if the need arises.

MM/MC PHONO SECTION

The huge library of music present on vinyl represents an irreplaceable treasure. As such it becomes more important than ever to reproduce the music with the greatest faithfulness to the original recording Brystons unique and innovative Phono Section is available as an optional built in feature in either moving magnet (BP26P) and/or moving coil (BP26MC) version. It offers a broadcast quality uncomplicated package for those who enjoy the ultimate in vinyl playback. Our feeling is that Bryston's BP26 series preamplifiers are one of those fortunate circumstances when the long hours and extended listening pays off. The sense of transcending the recording medium and experiencing the original performance is captured with exceptional realism. We invite you to audition one today.

bullet Pre Amplifiers  BP 16 SST C-Series Pre Amplifier

REDEFINING INNOVATION

BP 16 C-SERIES STEREO ANALOG/DIGITAL PREAMPLIFIER

The new Bryston BP-16 is based on our world famous B-100 SST integrated amplifier. In fact the BP-16 is the identical preamplifier section from the B-100. Technical specifications are identical to the B-100 amplifier section (see pg 8). This provides a very cost effective solution for us to manufacture a full-featured versatile preamplifier for our customers. The BP-16 is a state of the art analog stereo preamplifier which utilizes ‘software’ control. The software allows us to provide many more features and functions while still adhering to traditional fully discrete analog circuits throughout the preamplifier. An example of how innovative this new BP-16 is at maintaining the superiority of discrete analog class A circuits while taking advantage of the ‘software control’ is in our new digitally controlled volume. The digitally controlled volume utilizes a resistance network on a chip. This technology, in reference to the signal path, is still implemented in the analog mode. It offers many advantages, for instance perfect channel balance, a simple integrated balance adjustment without additional parts, practically zero adjustment noises, first class behavior in reference to noise and distortion, as well as adjustment via software.

bullet Pre Amplifiers  BP 6 C-Series Stereo Pre Amplifier

BP 6 C-SERIES PREAMPLIFIERS

The Bryston BP-6 C-Series preamplifier is a simplified state of the art preamplifier offering 4 high level stereo inputs. Bryston’s BP-6 combines outstanding function with complete musical accuracy. It provides an exact duplication of the original recording experience, without distortion or coloration. Bryston proprietary Class A Discrete Operational Amplifiers are used throughout. All signal circuitry is fully discrete to avoid the compromises, phase shift and nonlinearities inherent in IC’s. Controls are practical and convenient: source switching, tape monitoring, mute, balance and volume. The BP-6 features four high level inputs. Output is provided by two pair of single-ended RCA outputs. A headphone output on the front panel allows for monitoring and private listening. A motor driven volume up/down hand held remote control is also available as an option if required. No internal wiring is designed into Bryston’s preamp circuitry. Components plug directly into boards, eliminating variations in signal travel and wire interaction. Volume controls are laser trimmed to within 1/4 dB accuracy for a firm image balance between the left and right channels. Low output impedance and high current availability allow you to run long cables between the preamp and power amp without any loss of frequency response, so you can position your amp as close to your speakers as possible. The BP-6 is also available with an optional internal MM Phono Stage (BP-6P) input or our now famous Digital (DAC) input BP-6 DA if required. The BP-6DA has a coaxial S/PDIF digital input . Anyone who is tired of the marginal sound quality coming from the analog outputs of their CD or DVD player should strongly consider this system. The Bryston DAC provides an easy upgrade path that will substantially increase the resolution of your audio system.
