Bryston 14B- ST Amplifier Description:
The Bryston 14B-ST is a Stereo 2-channel
power amplifier consisting of two totally independent amplifier modules, each with its own
power transformer and +/-60V power supply.
Tampering by anyone other than factory authorized personnel voids the warranty. Warranty
service may be obtained by returning the unit to
any authorized Bryston dealer or distributor.
You may also contact the Bryston factory or national service offices directly at the location
listed on the rear page of this manual.
Please keep the original box and all packing
material. This will ensure the amplifier is protected in the unlikely event you have a problem
and must return it for service. No warranty card
is necessary to initiate your coverage. Please
refer to the back page for more detailed warranty information.
Each audio channel provides connections for
balanced or single ended input and will supply a minimum of 500 watts of power into 8
ohms or 800 watts into 4 ohms.
Installation Setup And Recommendations:
CAUTION: Your 14B ST is a Stereo Amplifier
only and the outputs should never be connected in Series/Bridged or Parallel modes.
Make Sure The Circuit Breaker Switch Is OFF
Until All Connections Are Made.
Power Switch(s): There are two power switches
on the 14B. The front panel ‘ST’ Power Switch
and the rear panel On/Off Circuit Breaker.
The 14B has two, 2-position slide- switches labeled
Power Up and Ext Trig and 1-Circuit Breaker
Factory Settings are:
POWER UP – LOCAL,
EXTERNAL TRIGGER – LOCAL,
CIRCUIT BREAKER SWITCH – OFF
PLEASE REFER TO: ‘BRYSTON’S SAFETY MANUAL’ FOR FURTHER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
After confirming that all switches are in the proper
positions and all input and output connections are
correctly made, plug the amplifier into the proper
wall outlet and activate the circuit breaker switch.
The power amplified may now be turn on or off using the front panel ‘ST’ power switch.
If the rear panel power-up switch is in the ‘Local’
position and the amplifier is connected to the A/C
power source the amplifier will turn on/off using the
front panel ‘ST’ power switch. If for any reason the
power is removed from the A/C line (ex: power failure) the amplifier will turn off and will not turn on
again after A/C is restored until the front panel
‘ST’ power switch is manually reactivated.
When the rear panel power-up switch is in the
‘Auto’ position then any time A/C power is supplied (Power Bar, Switched power outlet etc.) the 14B
will automatically power-up without having to activate the ‘ST’ power switch.
