It takes the tiny signal from your cartridge and raises it to line level for your preamp or integrated amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eIt applies 41dB of gain. Bryston sets that for moving-magnet cartridges and high-output moving-coil cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eClass A Circuits and Precise RIAA Equalization\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe gain comes from Class A discrete operational amplifiers. Bryston pairs them with what it calls ultra-precise RIAA equalization. Distortion stays below 0.005% from 20Hz to 20kHz, and noise sits below -80dB with a 5mV input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003ePowered by a Separate Bryston Supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe BP-3 MM has no power supply inside. It runs only from a Bryston PS-3 or MPS-2 power supply. Neither is included, so plan on one when you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eSmall Enough to Sit Beside the Turntable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe case is 5.7 inches wide, 2.75 inches high and 8.25 inches deep, and weighs 3.6 pounds. It fits close to the turntable or preamp. A front-panel switch mutes it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eHow It Fits Your System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe BP-3 MM sits between your turntable and any line-level RCA input. Connections are RCA in and RCA out. Capacitive loading can be set inside the unit to suit your cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eBryston specifies it for moving-magnet and high-output moving-coil cartridges only, so a low-output moving-coil cartridge is outside its range. It has no balanced XLR connections. It will not run without a Bryston PS-3 or MPS-2 supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWho Is This Phono Stage Best For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;padding-left:1.4em;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou play records with a moving-magnet cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bryston sets the 41dB of gain for exactly that job.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou use a high-output moving-coil cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bryston rates the BP-3 MM for these too.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour amplifier has no phono input\u003c\/strong\u003e — the BP-3 MM brings your turntable up to any RCA line input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want to keep the phono stage near the turntable\u003c\/strong\u003e — the compact case fits on a shelf beside it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is not for low-output moving-coil cartridges\u003c\/strong\u003e — and it needs a separate PS-3 or MPS-2 supply to run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eHow Does It Connect to Your System?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eConnect a Bryston PS-3 or MPS-2 power supply to the BP-3 MM.
