                        9BSST FIVE CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER Introduction  Thank	 you	 for	 choosing	 the	 9BSST Five Channel 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  The	 9BSST	 is	 a	 modular	 design	 5	 x	 120	 Watts	 per	 channel	 audio	 power	 amplifier.	 Each	 channel	 selects

'SST POWER' switch The	 front	 panel	 label	 'ST	 POWER',	 is	 a	 touch	 sensitive	 membrane	 switch	 used	 to	 apply	 or	 remove	 A/C	 line	 power	 to	 the	 9BSST	 circuitry.	 Push	 firmly	 the	 center	 of	 the	 switch	 until	 the	 power-up	 sequence	 begins.	 Push	 again	 and	 the	 9BSST	 will	 power-down.

The	 9BSST	 uses	 a	 magnetic-trip	 circuit	 breaker	 (1)	 to	 protect	 the	 amplifier.	 This	 switch	 should	 be	 ‘OFF’	 when	 installing	 the	 9BSST.	 When	 switched	 ‘OFF’	 all	 A/C	 power	 is	 removed	 from	 the	 amplifier,	 including	 standby	 power.

                        6B/9B AMPLIFIER BRIDGED MODE HOOKUP The same signal is fed into both amplifier channel inputs via a “Y” adaptor cable. Note that the POLARITY of  To SOURCE SIGNAL one channel is the inverse of the other. THIS IS ESSENTIAL for the amplifier to operate in bridged mode.  Failure to INVERT one of the channels relative to the other will result in zero output. It does not matter  which channel is set to zero degrees and which one is set to 180 degrees, however, as long as they are  different. When bri
