AES/EBU OUTPUT:

  There is one AES/EBU (Audio En-

gineering Society/European Broadcasting Union) fully 

balanced input using a 3 pin XLR female connector 

for a twisted pair wire connection of a digital audio 

signal.

 USB  INPUT:

 

 

There is a single USB Audio Class 2 input 

(24 bit/192KHz). New drivers may have to be in-

stalled in your computer to use this port.  See pages 

3 & 4 of this manual for more information. 

 When connecting to a PC it may be necessary to

through its USB port to the BUC-1. To do so, click on 

your PC’s START menu then select CONTROL PANEL > 

SOUNDS & AUDIO DEVICES > AUDIO and ensure that 

the Bryston BUC-1 is selected

The BUC-1 is equipped with 

a remote trigger (ON/OFF) connector (a 2 conductor 

mini 3.5mm phone jack) which when supplied with 

12 VDC @ 50mA or greater will turn on the BUC-1. 

The remote trigger operates a relay which is in paral-

lel with the pushbutton power switch (front panel) 

and this even is the front panel switch is in the OFF 

position (out) the unit may still be operational. 

The Green LED will light the unit is switched on lo-
