Bryston delivers the BP-19 preamplifier
Bryston has delivered the BP-19 preamplifier, the ultra-high-performance BP-19 analogue preamplifier that leverages years of R&D and design innovations that were achieved during the development of the multi-award-winning BR-20 preamplifier.
Meticulously handcrafted in Canada, and coming with Bryston’s legendary 20-year warranty, the Bryston BP-19 preamplifier reproduces music effortlessly thanks to an oversized toroidal power transformer and only the finest hand-selected premium components.

The optimised discrete operational amplifier delivers a staggeringly low THD+N measurement at or below 0.0006%, while the signal path features a fully balanced design from input-to-output using an array of very tightly matched components and a compact circuit architecture and achieving the lowest possible noise and superior common mode rejection.
The BP-19 also employs an advanced volume attenuator, ensuring long-lasting, quiet, linear performance.
For the devoted music enthusiast, these innovations, combined with the legendary hand-built excellence from Bryston, translate to more lifelike performances, enhanced detail and a greater sense of dimensionality and dynamics from all recordings.
The input array includes two pairs of balanced XLR input jacks and four pairs of RCA input connectors. There are two pairs of RCA (phono) outputs (one pair fixed, one pair variable) and two pair of balanced XLR outputs (one pair fixed, one pair variable).
For the first time ever, Bryston is offering the legendary BP-2 moving magnet (MM) phono stage circuit as an onboard option for the BP-19 preamp. The BP-2 is highly accurate, offers extremely low noise, minuscule distortion and provides headroom margins sufficient to prevent overload from any known phono source.
Bryston also offers specially designed, custom-made outboard step-up transformers to accommodate low-output Moving Coil (MC) cartridge designs.
Many features of the BP-19 can be easily controlled using included infrared remote. Each of the six analogue inputs has corresponding buttons on the remote as well as on the front panel of the preamp. HEX codes are also available for use with a universal-style remote control.
The BP-19 preamplifier can be controlled remotely using RS232 or IP when connected to a smart home ecosystem via the RS232 or ethernet ports on the rear panel. The BP-19 can also be remotely turned on or placed on standby and trigger outputs can be used to power on/off other connected equipment, such as a power amplifier.
The BP-19 is available in five standard faceplate finishes in 17” or 19” widths. 19” rack mount for professional applications are also available.
Bryston also offers personalised custom faceplate colours for the BP-19 and other electronics such as amplifiers, preamplifiers, CD players, digital players, phono stages and DACs. Choose from the standard colours or create a bespoke finish to suit any entertainment space or décor.
