USER MANUAL BCPM-A2 Polsen

The BCPM-1 and BCPM-A2 personal monitor amplifiers are ideal for musicians who stay in one spot while they perform, like keyboardists and drummers. These road-worthy yet lightweight monitors are hardwired to the audio source and will deliver the feed you need without excessive cabling or clutter. Your monitor control will be right at your belt when you need it.

The BCPM-1 is a passive monitor and requires no external power. Plug it in, and you're ready to go. Since it's a passive monitor, the BCPM-1 will deliver only the maximum volume that's being sent from the mixer. The BCPM-A2 is active and runs on two AAA batteries. It features a built-in amplifier for extra volume when it's needed.
