Electronic Crossover | Bryston 10B LR specification

10 B ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER

Bryston’s Model 10B Electronic Crossover combines ideal signal-handling with an enormously flexible control function. Simple, direct front-panel switches allow any crossover curve to be set instantly, and the signal purity is always maintained.

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/Oct., where one driver requires raster cutoff than another in the same system.

MODEL 10B LR

The 10B-LR, a fixed frequency plug in Linkwitz-Riley alignment with steep roll off curves of 24 dB/Oct. is also available.

The crossover may be used in any of three 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 reacquiring frequency control in the midband 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 unapproached 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.

10B, 10B LR specifications

The Bryston 10B and 10B LR are sophisticated electronic crossovers that have established themselves as benchmarks in high-performance audio systems. These units are designed to optimize the sound reproduction of speaker systems by splitting audio signals into different frequency bands, allowing each band to be routed to the appropriate amplifier and speaker driver for enhanced performance.

One of the standout features of the Bryston 10B is its modular design that offers flexibility to adapt to various sound system configurations. Users can configure the crossover according to their specific audio needs, whether for home theater systems, live sound, or high-fidelity stereo setups. The 10B provides a range of crossover frequency settings, allowing for precise tuning tailored to the characteristics of the speakers in use.

The 10B model is known for its pure analog signal path, which contributes to its transparent sound quality. Bryston has built the 10B using high-quality components, including precision capacitors and resistors, ensuring minimal signal degradation. The crossover employs state-of-the-art filtering techniques, providing steep roll-offs that effectively separate different frequency bands, thus reducing distortion and enhancing clarity.

With the 10B LR model, users benefit from Linkwitz-Riley filters that ensure a smooth transition between frequency bands, which is especially crucial for accurate stereo imaging. The unique design of the 10B LR not only improves phase coherence but also reduces the likelihood of interference between drivers, resulting in a more cohesive and engaging listening experience.

Another significant characteristic of the Bryston 10B and 10B LR is their robust build quality. Constructed in a rugged chassis, these units are designed to withstand the rigors of both professional and home environments. Additionally, Bryston's commitment to performance is mirrored in the lifetime warranty offered on these products, reflecting their confidence in the durability and reliability of their crossover technology.

In summary, the Bryston 10B and 10B LR stand out in the realm of audio engineering for their versatility, advanced filtering technology, and commitment to sound quality. Whether for audiophiles seeking perfection in their home audio systems or professionals requiring reliability in live sound applications, these crossovers deliver exceptional performance that elevates the listening experience to new heights.
