BP16
PREAMPLIFIER
1
INTRODUCTION:
Thank you
for purchasing a Bryston BP16
Preamplifier. We are confident it will provide you with
many years of musical enjoyment. We would welcome
any suggestions or comments you may have regarding
the operation of your Bryston amplifier.
In the unlikely event that your amplifier may require
service Bryston recommends that you retain the origi-
nal shipping box and packaging material for future use
if required.
SETUP RECOMMENDATIONS:
You may place your BP16 Preamplifier in any
convenient location. Make sure you position the
amplifier to maintain a direct line-of-sight between
the hand-held remote and the remote sensor eye
located on the front panel. If plugged in the BP16
will remain in standby indicated by the RED power
LED on the front panel.
The amplifier is powered up by engaging the
power button located on the front panel of the BP16
or by depressing the
POWER
button on the hand
held remote control unit.. The BP16 will power-up
momentarily with mute engaged, indicated by the
mute LED turning red on the front panel; it will then
turn off within a few seconds. The
POWER
LED will
stay lit green indicating normal operation.
CONNECTIONS:
WIRED (SERIAL DATA) REMOTE CONTROL
:
There is one RS-232, one AUX IR input and two 12
volt trigger output connections as well. The RS-232 is
bi-directional and allows for future software downloads
from the Bryston website. It also interfaces with control
systems such as Crestron and AMX.
CHASSIS GROUND
:
A chassis ground thumb screw terminal is provided on
the rear panel.
12 VOLT TRIGGER CONNECTOR:
These 12Vdc control outputs allow the BP16 to
exert on/off control over compatible equipment. See
“REMOTE POWER CONTROL” for more informa-
tion..
LINE LEVEL ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS :
The Bryston BP16 Preamplifier comes equipped with
8 pairs of gold plated analog RCA input connectors:
TV , CD , AUX-1/PHONO , AUX-2/SPDIF , VIDEO , TUNER ,
RECORD IN and POWER AMP IN . All have and input
impedance of 50K ohms
• POWER AMP IN is normally connected, internally,
to PRE AMP OUT via the CONNECTED/SEPARATE
slide switch located on the rear panel. When this
switch is in the SEPARATE position, however, any
line level audio input can be used at the POWER
AMP INPUT jacks to drive the amplifier.
• In BP16-DA models the AUX2 (D1/D2) input jacks
accept only SPDIF PCM bit streams. They do
NOT accept analog audio input signals.
• In BP16-P models, which are equipped with a
moving-magnet phono equalization module, the
inputs labeled AUX1/PHONO accept moving mag-
net phono cartridge inputs. These inputs are NOT
line level inputs in the BP16-P and cannot be
used as such.
LINE LEVEL ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTS :
The Bryston BP16 Preamplifier comes equipped with
3 pairs of gold plated analog RCA jacks for outputs: 2
pairs of
PREAMP OUT
jacks and 1 pair of
RECORD OUT
jacks
.
•
PREAMP OUT
is normally connected, internally, via
the
CONNECTED/SEPARATE
switch, to
POWER AMP
IN
•
RECORD OUT
output is not affected by volume,
balance or mute controls.
DIGITAL AUDIO INPUTS:
In the BP16-DA model, which contains a stereo D/A
converter module, there are 4 digital audio inputs
available.
Two TOSLINK optical inputs are selected by pressing
the
D3
(TOSLINK-1) or
D4
(TOSLINK-2) buttons on the
front panel (when in digital mode) or on the handheld
remote.
Two SPDIF coaxial inputs can be connected to the
BP16-DA using the RCA input jacks labeled
D1
and
D2 . To select these inputs first place the unit in digital
mode by pressing the DIGITAL
4
Select button on the
front panel (or the A/D button on the handheld remote)
and then press the
D1
or
D2
button on the front panel or
on the remote). When the green LED above the font
panel
DIGITAL

SELECT
switch button in ON concur-
rently with either the
D1 (cd)
,
D2 (tuner)
,
D3 (tv)
or
D4
(vIdeO)
LEDs, then digital mode is engaged.
Note
: Whatever digital input was previously
selected in Digital Mode will be automati-
cally reselected upon re-entering Digital
