mon-mode rejection to prevent induced hum and
interference even with long cable runs.
STEREO PREAMPLIFICATION
While the SP 1.7 is a great multi-channel controller, there
are those who still like their stereo in the analog realm; so,
at the touch of a button, the digital circuitry can be
bypassed and SP 1.7 operated as a Bryston audiophile-
quality analog pre-amp. The bypass mode provides a
totally discrete analog signal path — including an analog
volume control. The signal does not go through any IC's or
digital circuitry from input to output.
DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR MUSIC
The SP 1.7's DSP music modes allow you a range of
options to enhance the acoustic ambience of your listening
room: Stereo5, Natural, Club, Stadium, Hall, Theatre,
Church, and Party.
The SP 1.7 analyzes the digital bitstream,
determines format, automatically adjusts mode,
and provides a readout on the LCD screen.

SONIC SUPERIORITY BY DESIGN
The Bryston Design philosophy ensures sonic superiority. All
analog signal circuitry is fully discrete to avoid the phase
shift and nonlinearity inherent in ICs. We exclusively use
only the finest components, such as 1% metal-film resistors,
polystyrene capacitors, hand-matched transistors, and
gold-plated
and
connectors to reduce noise and
RCA
XLR
distortion to the absolute minimum. Two completely sepa-
rate and independent power supplies are employed to
prevent any possibility of digital to analog crosstalk or
interference.
THE RESULT
Of course, the purpose of all this technology is to place you
within the scene of the movie, or to transport you to the
actual musical event. Whether you can experience all the
drama, movement, and emotions intended is the one truly
meaningful measure of any audio/video system. Take the
time to visit your Bryston dealer and audition the Bryston
SP 1.7 preamplifier/processor. We think that you'll redis-
cover how exciting audio can be.
Balanced outputs are ideal
for long cable runs to active
loudspeakers, reducing
induced hum and noise.
