OVERVIEW OF THE BP-200 AMPLIFIER

The BP-200 is a D-Class power amplifier and a pure class A single channel pre-amplifier

housed in a machined aluminum/steel enclosure. D-Class amplifiers are highly efficient

and therefore produce far less heat than the conventional class AB amplifiers. The

compactness and light weight allows this amplifier to be carried in the musician’s

instrument gig-bag.

FEATURES

• A switchable input, for active (high-output) and passive (high pickup impedance)

basses.

• Single switch ACTIVE/PASSIVE/MUTE.

• Variable input sensitivity control to match instrument output with amplifier.

• Input overload indicator.

• Sub sonic filter to reduce excessive loudspeaker cone motion.

• Dedicated 3-Band EQ for total tonal control of instrument.

• Headphone out jack.

• Balanced line out with pre/post EQ and ground lift switches.

• Pre amp output (Line Out jack).

• Neutrik high-current socket can accommodate ¼ jack or a Speakon plug.

• Main Power on/off switch.

• IEC AC input 100-240 volts AC. (Operates on all world voltages).

FRONT PANEL AND BACK PANEL OVERVIEW

1.INPUT /MUTE SWICTH

Top Position: Mute On

Middle Position: Low sensitivity for mainly active basses. For basses with onboard

electronics. Input matched for low signal to noise ratio and optimum transfer of

electrical signal from modern high-end active basses.

Bottom position: High sensitivity for passive basses that do not have active

electronics, suited for older ‘vintage’ basses. This setting is precisely matched to high

impedance pickups enabling them to faithfully reproduce the true frequency and

dynamic range of the instrument.

2.INSTRUMENT INPUT JACK

This is a standard ¼ inch mono jack socket.

For the best possible sound, we recommend you use the PJB BI-12 instrument

cable as it has very low self-capacitance and absolute shielding resulting in

greater transparency of sound and less noise than other instrument cables.

3. LED CLIP/MUTE INDICATOR

Green is Mute, Red is overloaded input.

4. INPUT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

This is a fine-tuning adjustment (+/- 10dB) to get the precise match from your

bass to the amp. When the RED LED is continuously lighting up, reduce the level

on the input level control.

5. BASS EQ CONTROL

6. MID RANGE EQ CONTROL

7. TREBLE EQ CONTROL

8. MASTER VOLUME CONTROL

This is the master volume control and it controls how much power you send to

your speakers as well as the line out socket on the back of the amp. When setting

up your tone or plugging in your instrument, you should keep this control at a low

level. All instruments are different when it comes to how much output is from the

pickups. Likewise for players, depending on how hard or soft you play. Note this

control is a true “Audio Taper” control so that the level position may be set higher

compared to other amps that use a “Linear Taper” control. The “Audio Taper

control has far more precision in controlling your output and uses the full rotation

to control level, unlike Linear controls that just use the first few degrees of turn

and give the impression the amplifier has more volume than what it actually has.

9. AUXILLARY INPUT SOCKET

10. HEADPHONE OUT SOCKET

We recommend the PJB H850 headphones as they were designed for bass and

high-fidelity music reproduction. They are a perfect match to the BP-200.

When a headphone is connected to the jack, the speaker output will be

disconnected and the sound from you speakers will be muted.

”

11. LED POWER ON INDICATOR

12. BALANCED LINE OUT

This is an ultra-low impedance (200Ω) balanced line out for use with recording or PA

mixing consoles. This output is not controlled by the volume control. Changing the

level on your instrument, or input level will however, vary the DI output.

13. BALANCED LINE OUT GROUND LIFT SWITCH

Sometimes AC Hum is induced into a sound system due to that both PA and bass amp

are connected to different ground potential (known as ground loop). This switch

disconnects the amps grounding to PA or recording system to eliminate this hum.

14. BALANCED LINE PRE/POST EQ

This switches the EQ in or out on balanced line. You may choose the tone you have

on your amp to go into the PA or for recording or you can use external EQ on

mixing console the signal is sent to.

15. LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUT

The BP-200 amplifier will work on any load from 16Ω down to 4Ω, which is the safe

maximum load for this amplifier. This socket accepts both Speakon and ¼ inch jack

plugs. Do not use a standard instrument cable as these are not designed to work

as speaker cables. If you use this type of cable the sound quality will be severely

degraded. Use a proper speaker cable with 12-to-16-gauge wire. The shorter the

speaker cable is, the better the sound quality will be as shorter cables have less

resistance For Speakon type cables, we recommend that you use PJB SS-3 or the

Higher Performance SS-4 high current speaker cables. These dedicated high-

current, low-resistance cables. Using inferior, higher resistance cables will greatly

impair the performance of your system.

16. AC INPUT SOCKET

This accepts grounder IEC cables. This amp can work on any AC voltage from 100-

250volts.

17. POWER ON/OFF SWITCH

This switches the main power on and off in the amplifier.

OPERATION & POSITIONING

TURN THE VOLUME DOWN on the BP-200 before plugging in your instrument.

Connect the speaker or speakers to the BP-200. For best results with this amplifier

you should use PJB loudspeaker cabinets and PJB cables. We highly recommend

the PJB SS-4 speaker cables for amplifier to cabinets. As they have virtually no loss

so there is maximum transfer of power from amplifier to speaker.

Try not to excessively boost the EQ on bass frequencies as this may hurt your

speakers.

If you hear that your speakers are distorting and the overload indicator is on,

TURN DOWN THE VOLUME CONTROL!

The BP-200 amplifier is rated as 210 watts into 4 ohms but that does not mean it is

the maximum output power. This is the output power without audible distortion.

Hard driving the BP-200 can cause it to over power beyond 300 WATTS with

distortion. It is always a good idea to have speaker power handling to be double the

amplifier power rating. If the amp is subjected to some kind of overload signal, then

the speakers won’t blow.

For the best possible sound, we recommend you use the PJB BI-12 instrument cable

as it has very low self-capacitance and absolute shielding resulting in greater

transparency of sound and less noise. Using this cable will give a richer tone to your

instrument.

TRANSPORTING AND STORING THE BP-200

When Storing:

Keep in a dry location preferably at room temperature in the gig bag.

 Do not store in temperatures below -4 F (-20 C) or above 104 F (40 C).

 Do not allow it to get wet. If this occurs, never turn it on in this condition.

 Do not leave the BP-200 permanently connected to a power source.

Transporting Always use a protective case, gig bag or cover to prevent

damage.
