POLARITY SWITCH ( 0 OR -180 DEGREES)
Each
6B
SST
2
channel gives the user the option of inverting
the polarity of the input signal -180 degrees. Polarity inver-
sion is application specific.
The normal operating position is
0
degrees.
INPUT GAIN SWITCH
The optimum gain setting will depend upon the source pre-
amp operating level, and or personal preference.
The
29dB
setting is the the
home theatre
setting for
single
ended
or un-balanced operation. It provides the most ampli-
fier gain and greatest sensitivity (1V in = 100w @ 8 ohms,
1.7V in = 300W output into 8 ohms).
The
23dB
is the
home theatre
setting for balanced opera-
tion or wherever less gain is required. It provides a sensitivity
of 2Vin = 100 Watts out into 8 Ohms, or 3.4 Vin = 300 Watts
out.
The
17dB
provides the lowest gain and sensitivity but also
the best noise performance. Sensitivity in this mode is 4Vin =
100 Watts out into 8 Ohms or 6.8Vin = 300 Watts out into 8
Ohms.
OUTPUT BINDING POSTS & POLARITY
The
RED
binding post is connected to the
amplifier output
. Connect to this post to the (+) terminal on the loud-
speaker. The
BLACK
binding post is connected to
signal ground
. Connect to this post the (-) terminal on the loud-
speaker. When the
polarity
switch is set for
0
degrees (normal operation ) these connections are swapped with the
in phase amplifier output signal being connected to the (+) RED binding post and ground being connected to the (-)
Black binding post connector. Cables should be dressed away from input and power cables.
The output binding post connectors can accept several connector types as well as bare wire as outlined below:
BANANA PLUGS
offer a quick disconnect option. Before inserting a banana plug into the binding post be sure to
tighten the post nut to avoid rattling and to provide full insertion of the banana plug. Gold plated locking banana
plugs are available from Bryston.
SPADE LUGS
provide high contact area and secure fastening. Lugs should be gold
plated. Post diameter is 5/16’ ( 8mm ),lug width 5/8” (16 mm). Gold plated spade lugs are
available from Bryston.
STRIPPED BARE WIRE
up to 3 gauge can be inserted through the hole in the binding
post and held in place by tightening the post knob. Additional tightening pressure can be achieved using a
coin
in the slots of the knob. Do not over tighten or the binding post may become damaged. Note that copper wire is
malleable and may require further tightening after the initial installation.
CHANNEL HANDLES
The handle on the rear of each channel module is to assist in removing the channel (when necessary for service)
and to protect the connectors and the cables connected to them.
DO NOT
use these handles to lift or carry the
ampliifier as this could damage the channel module.
POWER INLET PANEL
MASTER CIRCUIT BREAKER
The
6B
SST
2
uses a magnetic-trip circuit breaker (1) to protect the amplifier. This switch should be ‘OFF’ when install-
ing the
6B
SST
2
. When switched ‘OFF’ all A/C power is removed from the amplifier, including standby power. The
circuit breaker is not the day to day power switch and should be switched and left ‘ON’ after the installation is com-
plete.Use the ‘
6B
SST
2
” switch or an external control voltage to Power-up or Power-down the amplifier. Should the
breaker trip, lower or remove the amplifier input signals. Switch the breaker to the ‘ON’ position. Then power the unit
up normally.
The circuit breaker must be ‘ON’ at all times for the 6B
SST
2
to operate.
