BRYSTON WARRANTY

In a world where most things seem to need frequent upgrading, repair, or replacement, how can Bryston offer a comprehensive, unconditional, and fully transferable warranty on every audio product we make?

The answer would quickly become apparent if you were to tour Bryston’s plant in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. State-of-the-art design facilities, with the latest CAD and circuit simulation software, and an inventory of some of the best and most reliable parts on the planet, combine with a manufacturing philosophy that eschews the artifacts of mass production — robots, moving assembly lines, and, frankly, shortcuts. Every Bryston audio component is handcrafted by people who take great pride in building the very best. Starting with a bare circuit board, for example, each component is hand selected and installed, every wire is cut and bent by hand, every connection is hand soldered. On average, it takes thirty to thirty-five person-hours to assemble a single Bryston product.Is this just some romantic 19th-century notion of the artisan-craftsman, or is there a real benefit to you, the consumer? There is. Take the hand soldering, for example. We could do the job much faster by employing wave-soldering machines as many companies do. But that would mean exposing the entire circuit board to a molten-metal bath, a source of extreme heat shock

that could result in long-term reliability problems.

We don’t skimp on testing or rush our products through some last-minute go/no-go check; at every stage individual parts, completed circuit-boards, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies are all put through rigorous inspection and testing procedures. When completed, every Bryston amplifier receives a comprehensive and carefully documented test of all its functions, and the printed results of this computer-aided analysis are actually packed and shipped with each unit. During this intensive procedure, we not only reject any product that falls outside of our advertised specifications, but also any not meeting an even narrower band of specifications that we use for internal testing. As a result, you can expect each Bryston product to perform as least twice as well as the advertised specifications.

Our 20-year amplifier and 5-year digital circuit warranty drives us in a different direction from the typical manufacturer. We consider a Bryston product to be a mutual investment: by you, in an amplifier of lasting quality, and by us, in that we invest in the quality of the product in order to be secure in offering our warranty. It simply makes good economic sense to produce the very best products we can.

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.
