The Model 10B features independently selectable crossover points for high-pass and low-pass, in case the speaker installation requires slightly overlapped (or slightly staggered) response curves for the drivers. You can also independently select crossover slope from 6, 12, or 18dB/octave, where one driver requires faster cutoff than another in the same system. A fixed-frequency plug in Linkwitz-Riley alignment with steep roll-off curves of 24dB/octave is also available.
The crossover may be used in any of three internal connections: 2-way stereo, 3-way mono and a special configuration, 2-way stereo with summed low-pass out to allow the use of one sub-woofer. The 10B is available in two stock versions, a 10B Sub incorporating frequencies more suitable to sub-woofer applications and a 10B Standard which is more applicable to speakers requiring frequency control in the mid band and tweeter areas.
All crossover selections are extremely accurate and repeatable, being implemented with 1% selected metal-film resistors and polystyrene capacitors. All switches are heavily gold-plated for lifetime protection from corrosion. The level controls are precise 1dB increments, also derived from gold-plated switches and 1% metal-film resistors. Most important, however, is that the Bryston 10B crossover uses NO integrated circuits in the signal path. All internal buffer and amplification stages are Bryston's exceedingly linear and superbly quiet discrete op-amp circuitry. This means the signal is always maintained as "Audiophile Quality," with stability and freedom from noise and distortion unmatched in other crossovers.
From the point of view of adaptability, flexibility and signal integrity, the Bryston 10B Electronic Crossover is the ideal choice for the widest range of multi-way speaker installations.
Bryston has a continuing commitment to design and manufacture the most accurate and reliable audio products available. We maintain an extensive research and development division, which is constantly looking for methods to improve the performance, value and reliability of our amplifiers. The Bryston SST Series of amplifiers is the direct result of this continuing quest for perfection. These amplifiers represent a significant step forward in the art and science of audio amplification. Among the advances included in this new SST Series are: Faster, more linear and more reliable output transistors for better high frequency accuracy; doubled filter capacitance for even deeper and better-controlled bass; a new proprietary grounding protocol which eliminates the need for ground-lift switches and reduces system noise; new computer-modeled heatsink profile for cooler operation and longer component life. Sound quality is improved to a stunning degree. Reviewers agree, this new product line sets a higher standard for musical accuracy than ever before possible.
Design Philosophy Ensures Sonic Superiority:
All analog signal circuitry is fully discrete to avoid the compromises, phase shift and non-linearity inherent in IC's. The Bryston SST 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 Intermodulation Distortion levels less than 10 parts per million (below 0.0009%) are typical for this new circuitry. All SST 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 SST series of amps has been optimized for the most accurate performance possible. Custom totally independent and separate torodial power supplies for each channel of amplification provides precise and focused soundstaging. The 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. Gold-plated balanced or single-ended (RCA) input connectors are standard as well as gold-plated 5-way loudspeaker binding posts, to eliminate possible causes of distortion from corrosion. A rear panel switch allows for the use of Balanced inputs (XLR or 1/4" phone jack) or unbalanced inputs (RCA). The inputs can be switched to allow different gain settings. From input to output, all the circuitry in the SST has been optimized for the most accurate performance and flexibility possible.
Independent Power Supplies:
Exclusive to Bryston among amplifiers is the use of independent (one per channel) toroidal transformer power supplies providing precise and focused sound-staging. Bryston's research has shown that all amplifiers require separate power supplies per channel for the best imaging, clarity and dynamic range, especially crucial given today's and tomorrow's most demanding digital sound sources.
The Bryston 2B-LP amplifier is a compact, high-quality 60 watt per channel (8ohms) stereo amplifier intended for use in home sound systems requiring a musically accurate, extremely reliable, no-compromise power source.
While the 2B-LP has for years been thought of as an exceptionally lucid and transparent amplifier for traditional two-channel stereo setups, it is now finding additional acceptance in such installations as multimedia surround-sound systems, and in the most ambitious music systems with multi-amplified speakers using electronic crossovers.
Features include: Completely separate stereo channels, including dual power supplies, to prevent any interaction between left and right signals, for precise sound-staging and image quality. Green/red power/clipping lights to give immediate indication of any overload or fault condition. Rear-mounted ground-lift switching to avoid potential ground loops and system hum. Gold plated five-way binding posts and gold plated RCA connectors to prevent any possibility of long term corrosion or connector distortion. Finally, higher power monaural operation is as easy as the flick of a rear-mounted stereo/mono switch.
Bryston exclusively uses only the finest components in our designs, such as 1% metal-film resistors, polystyrene capacitors and hand-matched transistors to reduce noise and distortion to the absolute minimum. All signal circuitry is fully discrete to avoid the compromises, phase shift and nonlinearities inherent in IC's. Bryston applies techniques and employs custom materials in our everyday construction of electronic equipment which are more typically found in military and aerospace industries.
If your requirements are sonic excellence, ultimate reliability, system flexibility and superb value, Bryston power amplifiers will surpass your every performance criterion.
