Each channel selects a balanced or sin- gle ended input. Each channel selects a gain of 29dB(1v) or 23dB(2v). The 3B SST includes ‘soft start’ power control cir- cuitry to eliminate high inrush currents when A/C power is applied.

2. Spade lugs provide high contact area and secure fastening. Lugs should be gold plated. See diagram for details. Post diameter is 5/16’ ( 8mm ), lug width 5/8” (16 mm). Gold plated spade lugs are available from Bryston. 3. Stripped bare wire up to 3 gage can be inserted through the hole in the binding post and held in place by tightening the post knob. -

When the channel has cooled to a safe operating condition the channel will return to normal operation. Persistent Thermal shutdown indicates steps need to be taken to increase airflow across the channel or channels heat sink.
