RELIABILITY

 

AND  

SUPPORT

BUILT TO LAST

Bryston applies techniques and employs custom materials in 
our everyday construction of electronic equipment that are 
more typically utilized in military and aerospace industries. 
Our  traditional  adherence  to  proprietary  parts  and 
sophisticated construction and testing techniques prevents 
the unit-to-unit variability typical of mass produced product 
and  assures  that  your  SP  2  will  perform  for  many  years 
without concern.

HAND ASSEMBLED WITH CARE

All  audio  products  we  make  are  hand  assembled  and 
individually tested by a dedicated team of Bryston employees 
in our own North American manufacturing facility.

UNIQUE BURN-IN PROCEDURE

Each  and  every  Bryston  audio  product  undergoes  an 
extensive quality control “burn-in” procedure. Following a 
complete  operational  checkout,  every  unit  is  placed  on  a 
test-bench and run for 100 hours. This extremely rigorous 
burn-in quickly “matures” components and weeds out any 
potential premature failures. The result is reliable trouble-
free performance for many years.

EASY FUTURE UPGRADES

We’ve  designed  the  SP  2  with  a  field  upgradable  ROM 
chip. This allows for convenient upgrades so future software 
changes are quick and easy to implement. On the hardware 
side,  our  pin-to-pin  compatible  digital  board  topology 
facilitates upgrades to future formats or digital processing 
technologies.  The  SP  2’s  existing  DAC  chips  can  run 
at  sample  rates  up  to  192kHz  facilitating  upgrades  to 
accommodate future formats. It is worth noting that many 
manufacturers promise that their units will be upgradable 
for future technology. Bryston actually does it (and is doing 
so today, at moderate cost, for the SP 2’s predecessor).

ON-LINE CUSTOMER SUPPORT

The Bryston website allows for downloading of software 
updates,  technical  bulletins,  product  addendums,  and 
complete user manuals.

OUR WARRANTY

Our commitment to build-quality and to quality control is 
why every product we manufacture features an analog 20-
Year Warranty, a warranty that remains unequaled by any 
other audio manufacturer in the world. Digital circuits have 
a full 5 year warranty.

Above, The Bryston 9B SST C-Series amplifier 
featuring trigger on/off and 5 modular channels, 
each delivering 140 watts into 8 Ohms.

The SP 2’s RS 232 port allows for the 
integration of external control systems 
(AMX, Crestron, etc).

Two 12 volt trigger outputs allow for remote 
triggering of your amplifier(s) or other home 
theater accessories such as motorized drapes  
and screens.
