Stunning, No-Compromise Multi-Channel Performance
Bryston's 9B series of multi-channel amplifiers is already an audiophile legend. The new Cubed iteration of the 9B lifts the performance of theaters and other multi-channel applications to new heights far beyond expectations set by inferior options. If you want stunning multi-channel performance with plenty of power and zero compromises, you need the 9B Cubed.
The Bryston 9B Cubed 5 is the five-channel version of the 9B Cubed series, which uses separate, independent modules for each channel. With each channel capable of 200 watts, more speakers than ever before can be driven with ease. Since each channel has a fully independent power supply, high output on one channel won't be a drag on the others. This means every note will be dynamic and clear.
Best of all, the new 9B Cubed brings Bryston's patented Salomie circuit to a five-channel form factor for the first time. Finally, you can have a multi-channel amplifier that sounds as great as Bryston's other amplifiers. And that's saying a great deal!
Network Monitoring
Network monitoring and control is built into the 9B Cubed to make integration with home automation systems easy. Keep tabs on the temperature, see overdriving warnings, and even mute individual channels all from the amp's own webpage.
Bryston Cubed Series Amplifiers
Bryston amplifiers enjoy universal acclaim from both audio professionals and music enthusiasts unlike any other brand in the world. As a result of relentless passion for superb performance and unparalleled build quality, Bryston engineers have continued to innovate since the company's groundbreaking premier in 1976. The Cubed Series amplifiers continue this tradition of excellence, highlighted by lower distortion, increased bandwidth, and reduced noise, presenting listeners with a crystal clear window into their most favorite recordings.
Salomie Circuitry Benefits
Bryston Cubed Series Amplifiers feature patented circuitry developed in conjunction with Dr. Alexandru Salomie, movin the listener ever so close to the music with such visceral realism, the experience is almost comparable to live performance.
The Salomie circuit features a unique method of trapping distortion components in the main signal path that pass through other amplifiers only to be amplified and played by your loudspeakers. Bryston’s innovative distortion reduction method results in a much more natural and nuanced rendition of your recordings — playback more true to the original recordings and more enjoyable to your ears.
Some of the audible improvements of the Salomie circuitry include expanded spaciousness and depth of focus, better overall dimensionality, improved mid-bass clarity, and more air and openness in the high-frequencies.
What Defines High Performance?
Reproducing exactly what is captured in a recording without exception and without added distortion fulfills Bryston's definition of high performance. Each Bryston Cubed amplifier is designed without compromise in pursuit of this lofty goal.
Bryston engineers, led by Christopher Russell, have been busy over the years since the advent of the SST2 Series finding new methods to reduce noise and distortion to reveal more nuance and subtlety than ever before. Cubed Series amplifiers employ significant improvements over the highly acclaimed SST2 Series, including dramatically less distortion at the input stage, improved common mode noise rejection, a major improvement in EMI/RFI noise rejection, and less than 500mW standby power consumption. Finally, Bryston updated the dress panel aesthetics with clean lines and a new finish.
Extreme Clarity and Detail
At Bryston, finding ways to eliminate distortion from its designs is a way of life. All Cubed Series amplifiers feature a new patented input circuit that is precisely optimized and linear beyond any that Bryston has used before. Featuring twelve active devices in a groundbreaking array, this new circuit both matches the amplifier to virtually any preamplifier and provides the first 6dB of gain. The new input stage is so transparent, its measurable distortion is less than 1/1000th of 1 percent!
Newly designed circuitry in the Cubed Series amplifiers is virtually impervious to noise such as RFI and others induced by external and environmental causes.
The Quad-Complementary topology improves linearity to a new standard of accuracy while virtually eliminating aggressive higher harmonic distortion byproducts. The overall harmonic distribution of Bryston’s Quad-Complementary output mimics the characteristics of a Class-A design, but with dramatically lower distortion. Each amplifier channel includes its own fully independent power supply with separate transformer.
Bryston strives for accuracy and transparency because that is what sounds best. When a playback system is faithful to the recording, the listener can enjoy the subtlest details, capturing the depth and soul of the performance as the artist intended.
Legendary Quality
Cubed Series amplifiers employ design innovation to achieve superior performance, yet so much has remained constant through years of evolution. Each amplifier is manufactured in Bryston's state-of-the-art facility located in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, utilizing many locally sourced components. Many members of the Bryston team have been with the company for decades and all take great pride in their highly specialized craft.
All Bryston products are proven on the company's test bench for one hundred hours of burn-in before shipping. Amplifiers cycle between full power and idle in thirty-minute intervals to uncover any anomalies that could be illuminated by thermal stress. Bryston's reputation for reliability is without peer.
Not only do Bryston's amplifiers undergo pass/fail testing, but each must also achieve excellence in performance benchmarks as well. With each Cubed Series model, the customer will receive a comprehensive performance certificate detailing the exact specifications of the amplifier.
To demonstrate its commitment to excellence and performance, every Bryston amplifier is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a full twenty years.
Front Panels and Finishes
Cubed Series models are available in black or silver colored dress panels and are 17 or 19 inches wide. Nineteen-inch wide models include front mounted handles.
