3B SST and 4B SST Series Amplifiers Introduction Thank you for choosing an SST SERIES Stereo Power Amplifier. Bryston welcomes any suggestions you may have, or comments regarding the operation of your amplifier. We consider you, our customer, to be Bryston’s most important resource, and your opinion is very much appreciated. Description 3B SST The 3B SST is a dual mono design 2 x 150W per channel audio power amplifier. Each channel selects a balanced or sin- gle ended input. Each channel se

3B SST and 4B SST Series Amplifiers 2 2 1 Front Panel 1. 'SST POWER' switch The front panel label 'SST POWER', is a touch sensitive membrane switch used to apply or remove a/c line power to the soft start circuitry. Push firmly the center of the switch until the power-up sequence begins. Push again and the amplifier will power-down. ( Note: the rear circuit breaker must be on for the amplifier to power-up) 2. LED Indicators Each SST channel has a LED indicator to monitor the following conditions

3B SST and 4B SST Series Amplifiers Power Control 1. Master circuit - breaker. The SST amplifier uses a magnetic-trip circuit breaker (1) to protect the amplifier. This switch should be ‘OFF’ during installation. When switched ‘OFF’ all A/C power is removed from the amplifier, including standby power. The circuit breaker is not the power switch and should be switched and left ‘ON’ after the installation is complete.Use the ‘SST POWER” switch or an external control voltage to Power-up or Power-d

OPERATING BRYSTON 3B & 4B AMPLIFIERS IN BRIDGED MODE “Bridged mode” refers to the combining or “bridging” of two amplifier channels into a single ampli- fier channel. The primary reason for doing this is to achieve a single amplifier channel with much greater output power. When two 3B channels or two 4B channels are bridged, the combined single channel will output up to 2 times the voltage and therefore, theoretically, 4 times the power of a single non-bridged channel. In practice, the actual
