Serving as the active counterpart to the Polsen BCPM-1, the BCPM-A2 operates on two AAA batteries (not included), allowing it to amplify incoming signals effectively whenever you require a boost in headphone volume. The built-in mono/stereo switch further enhances usability, enabling you to select the appropriate monitoring mode based on your input source. To ensure that it remains out of the way while you play, the BCPM-A2 is equipped with a handy belt clip.

Headphone compatibility is not an issue; the BCPM-A2 features a standard stereo 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone jack, allowing you to connect favorite studio or monitoring headphones, earbuds, or in-ear monitors with ease.

Designed for portability, the BCPM-A2 is compact and lightweight, making it easy to overlook until you need to make volume adjustments. Its robust metal chassis provides durability, capable of withstanding the rigors associated with travel and live performances.

Evaluating the Polsen BCPM-A2 specs reveals its practical features: the input consists of a 1 x XLR-1/4" female combo jack, while the output is a 1 x 1/8" / 3.5 mm TRS female stereo mini jack. Powered by two AAA batteries, this device handles balanced input levels of 0 dBu and unbalanced levels of +24 dBu. The input impedance specifications are 40 kOhms for XLR and 10 kOhms for 1/4", complemented by an output impedance of 0.5 Ohms, ensuring excellent audio quality. With a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 95 dB and minimal distortion, the Polsen BCPM-A2 promises superior sound performance.

The device features a volume knob paired with a power on/off switch, allowing for seamless adjustments. Strategically positioned at the end of the unit, the volume control is easily accessible even without looking, making it ideal for musicians seated behind their instruments. This convenience allows performers to adjust their monitoring levels on the fly without needing to approach the headphone amplifier or signal the sound engineer.

The internal mono/stereo switch provides further adaptability; choose stereo for headphones or stereo sources, or switch to mono when connecting to single-channel sources like a mono auxiliary send from a mixer.

For secure connectivity, the XLR jack includes a locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnections, providing peace of mind during lively performances. The combo jack accommodates both XLR and 1/4" connectors, ensuring versatility regardless of your setup.

In summary, the Polsen BCPM-A2 merges durability, convenience, and exceptional sound quality into a compact design.
