Hi,

Does somebody know what kind of cable has been used for the connection between the MPS-1 power supply and preamp like a BP25?

It's some kind of DIN. Maybe somebody has schematics of this cable?

Thx in advance

[REDGUUZ]

Hi,

I recently looked at the opportunity to buy a good second hand BP25, so I also did some Research on the schematics.

Please find attached a schematic which shows the interior of the MPS-1 and the hookup of the 5 pin Din cable to the BP25.

Thanks, the only content I could find on the net is https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=38647&start=0

I don't know the wiring diagram (have not looked) but there's thinks one can buy with that type of connector like -  https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=8533   or if one is into doing it themselves  -   https://www.parts-express.com/search?keywords=5%20pin%20din%20cable&order=relevance:desc

There are companies that make multi-conductor cables to make them with (e.g. Belden) which are sold by distributors of the products (e.g. Mouser, newark.com, allied wire and cable, etc.)

Hi,

If you search for "NAIM Power Supply Cable", you have a large choice (from "expensive but very well made" to "Cheap and Cheerful").

Up to you (and your pocket) to make the choice:

The complete schematic of the Bryston BP25 can be found on the Net (it was made public by Bryston, at the time).

What I could find on the net the MPS-2 has a 6 pins plug, the MPS-1 a 5 pins plug, but is it has to be a specific (female plug):

It looks like they have used a kind of MIDI connector

Naim seems to be all male

Hi Vhond,

Sorry,  Reference to a NAIM cable was indeed not correct.
Apologies for setting you on the wrong foot

Your photo shows a "regular" 5 pin DIN Female Plug
https://nl.rs-online.com/web/p/din-connectors/2818998?cm_mmc=NL-PLA-DS3A-_-google-_-CSS_NL_NL_Pmax_0226-_--_-2818998&matchtype=&&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23562600430&gclid=Cj0KCQiAqeDMBhDcARIsAJEbU9ST3KbqMB06bWMZij4l8tyyEdLIoeynHrPd_II9DQSv0YnDNlH2RMUaAhyFEALw_wcB

-  A local competent technician can fabricate a suitable Bryston MPS1 <--> BP25 Power Supply Cable, as also stated previously by others.
-  Also, there are commercial companies who provide this service.

The BP25/MPS-1 schematic provided earlier shows the required hookup.

http://bee.mif.pg.gda.pl/ciasteczkowypotwor/%23pro_audio/Bryston/BP25_SCHEMATICS.pdf

Pin 1 = +  24V DC               RED WIRE
Pin 2 = 0V   / Earth chassis   WHITE WIRE
Pin 3 = - 24V DC                 BLACK WIRE
Pin 4 =  Power Up                           GREEN WIRE
Pin 5 =  Not Used

PS.

IF you do not have to /want to  switch on Auxilary Power Amp(s)  with your BP25, you do not need the green wire (IMHO).

@REDGUUZ: thanks for your long reply. (especially the note about pin 4)

But I thought a regular din plug is something like this:

Hi,
I have never seen a BP25 /MPS-1 in real life.
I only judge from the BP25 Operation and Service manual and from pictures from EBAY.

The plug which you showed from the Canuck MPS-1 is for sure


A round female 5 pin DIN  plug

It could be a 180 deg , used in European audio equipment or a 270 deg  one.
Less common, but maybe Bryston selected that form factor to make the MPS1 more idiot proof.

But I would bet on the Round DIN Female 5 Pin 180 deg Version , judging from pictures from EBAY, which show the Male counterpart in respectively a BP25 and BP20.

But better enquire at a Bryston Dealer, just to be 100% sure.

[Vhond]

On the back of the pre amp it's a male 5 pin DIN 180 deg connector

[REDGUUZ]

Hi,

Indeed the same as the 2 previous pictures (a BP25 and a BP20)

So you need a REGULAR (DIN FEMALE 180 deg  5 PIN ) plug.

If you do not need PIN 4 (No remote switching)  you could also use a REGULAR (DIN FEMALE 180 deg  3 PIN ) plug.
