STEREO PREAMPLIFICATION
While the SP 2 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 2 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 2’s DSP music modes allow you a range of options
to enhance the acoustic ambience of your listening room:
Stereo 5, Natural, Club, Stadium, Hall, Theatre, Church,
Party, etc.
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. In addition, two
completely separate and independent power supplies are
employed to prevent any possibility of digital to analog
crosstalk or interference. There is no video switching on-
board therefore eliminating interaction between video and
audio circuits.
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 2 preamplifier/processor. We think that you’ll rediscover
how exciting audio can be.
The SP 2 analyzes the digital bitstream, determines
format, automatically adjusts mode, and provides a
readout on the LCD screen.
Balanced outputs are ideal for
long cable runs to reduce induced
hum and noise.
