Summary

Bryston 3B Stereo Power Amplifier Overview

General Description of 3B Amplifier

Bryston's 3B stereo power amplifier has two modules, operable independently or combined for 400W mono operation.

Power Supply and Connection Considerations

The 3B requires direct wall connection due to massive power supplies drawing high current; avoid preamps or power bars.

Clipping Indicator Functionality

Three-color LEDs indicate power status and signal distortion thresholds, with red signaling overload requiring immediate attention.

Speaker Handling and Fuse Protection

Amplifier can drive speakers to full potential; clipped signals can cause damage, especially to tweeters. Consider speaker fuses.

Amplifier Operation and Connectivity

Bridged Operation Mode

Mono mode combines two sections for increased output voltage, producing over 400W into 8 ohms; uses only the left channel input.

Input Connector Types

Features unbalanced RCA/phono and balanced XLR/1/4" phone jacks with a switch for selecting input type.

Output Connector Details

Equipped with four gold-plated binding posts accepting banana plugs or bare wire for speaker connections.

Output Cable Recommendations

Recommends low inductance speaker cables for minimal signal loss between the amplifier and speakers.

Grounding and Ground Lift Switch

A ground lift switch can eliminate hum caused by ground loops in specific multi-amplifier or wiring setups.
