BRYSTON 14B ST MANUAL
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS:
Maximum continuous output power with both channels driven can only be realized on a 120 Volt 20 Amp or 230 Volt 10 Amp version of the 14B ST
Music is a “Dynamic and Transient” condi- tion and the power requirements fluctuate up and down over time with the audio sig- nal. Therefore, under most listening condi- tions the 15Amp/120 Volt version will be all that is required for the majority of domes- tic audio/video systems.
If more power is required, then a 14B - 20 Amp version is also available. You must have a minimum of 12 Gauge household electrical wire and a dedicated 20 Amp wall plug in order to utilize this feature. The other option available is to wire for a 240 Volt 10 Amp service and use the 230 Volt 10 Amp European model.
