MANUAL
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING POLSEN.
The BCPM-1 and BCPM-A2 personal monitor ampliers 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 amplier for extra volume when it’s
needed.
