Bryston SP 1.7 Sonic Superiority, Stereo Preamplification, Digital Signal Processing For Music

Sonic Superiority

unbalanced outputs (RCA) and a set of 6 true balanced outputs (XLR) for 5.1 and stereo, each with its own discrete output amplifier. Balanced signal transmission uses com- mon-mode rejection to prevent induced hum and interference even with long cable runs.

STEREO PREAMPLIFICATION

While the SP 1.7 is a great multi-channel controller, there are those who still like their stereo in the analog realm; so, at the touch of a button, the digital circuitry can be bypassed and SP 1.7 operated as a Bryston audiophile- quality analog pre-amp. The bypass mode provides a totally discrete analog signal path — including an analog volume control. The signal does not go through any IC’s or digital circuitry from input to output.

DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR MUSIC

The SP 1.7’s DSP music modes allow you a range of options to enhance the acoustic ambience of your listening room: Stereo5, Natural, Club, Stadium, Hall, Theatre, Church, and Party.

SONIC SUPERIORITY BY DESIGN

The Bryston Design philosophy ensures sonic superiority. All analog signal circuitry is fully discrete to avoid the phase shift and nonlinearity inherent in ICs. We exclusively use only the finest components, such as 1% metal-film resistors, polystyrene capacitors, hand-matched transistors, and gold-plated RCA and XLR connectors to reduce noise and distortion to the absolute minimum. Two completely sepa- rate and independent power supplies are employed to prevent any possibility of digital to analog crosstalk or interference.

THE RESULT

Of course, the purpose of all this technology is to place you within the scene of the movie, or to transport you to the actual musical event. Whether you can experience all the drama, movement, and emotions intended is the one truly meaningful measure of any audio/video system. Take the time to visit your Bryston dealer and audition the Bryston SP 1.7 preamplifier/processor. We think that you’ll redis- cover how exciting audio can be.
