The Bryston ST Series
amplifiers incorporate the use of an innovative gain stage topology which
yields a substantially lower noise floor through the use of low-impedance
pathways within the amplifier. This same approach also has strong advantages
in reducing the overall distortion performance. Bryston’s computer
controlled distortion analyzers confirm Inter-modulation Distortion levels
less than 10 parts per million (below 0.0009%) are typical for this new
circuitry. All ST amplifiers use Bryston’s proprietary Quad-Complementary
output section, which improves linearity to a new standard of accuracy,
while virtually eliminating aggressive higher harmonic distortion products.
From input to output, all the circuitry in the ST series of amps has been
optimized for the most accurate performance possible. Custom dual torodial
power supplies provide precise and focused soundstaging. The dual power
supplies employ multiple filter capacitors per channel, rather than single
pairs of larger filter cans. This allows improved high frequency response
and reduces overall losses in the supply. Standard features included both
balanced and unbalanced gold plated inputs, a ground lift switch to reduce
those annoying ground loops and a stereo/mono switch for bridging the
outputs if higher power levels are required.

Amplifiers
range in power from the 3B ST stereo unit at 120 watts per channel
through the 4B ST stereo amplifier at 250 watts per channel, to the
monstrous 7B ST monaural amplifier at 500 watts and the
multi-channel 120 watt 8B ST. The 3B ST stereo amplifier at 120
watts per channel provides all the quality and value of our larger
amplifiers but in a package which is both compact and powerful.
Suitable for a wide range of audio/video systems where sonic
accuracy, medium power and long term reliability is required.

The Bryston 4B is something of a legend among audio amplifiers. As
our most popular amplifier over the years, it has attained
inter-national status as an amplifier suitable for the finest and
most sophisticated sound systems. Whatever the venue, be it a
recording studio, a sound stage, a broadcast facility, a home
theater installation, or a state-of-the-art stereo system, Bryston
has continued to be the number one choice. |

A unique
feature of the 7B ST is a switch allowing the output stage to operate
in a parallel (current) or series (voltage) mode. This gives the 7B ST
the power to drive, with breath-taking ease and clarity, speakers
which have been considered “impossible” loads in the past. |
With today’s interest in home theater, media rooms and multi-channel
music systems, Bryston’s 8B ST provides switchable operation with
four discrete channels at (120 watts), three channels (one at 400
watts and two at 120 watts) or two channels at (400 watts). This
provides you with an extremely versatile and flexible amplifier for
integrating audio/video systems requiring multiple channels of
amplification. |
