INTRODUCTION
Thank.you.for.choosing.the.14B
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..

SHIPPING BOX & PACKING MATERIAL
Please.keep.the.original.shipping.box.and.all.packing.material..This.will.ensure.the.amplifier.is.protected.in.future.transport.. .
In.the.unlikely.event.you.have.a.problem.and.must.return.it.for.service.use.the.proper.packing.material..Ship.the.amplifier.
only.in.the.original.packing.material,.as.the.unit.is.not.insurable.by.carriers.otherwise..
INSTALLATION & VENTILATION
The.most.important.installation.consideration.is.ventilation..The.14B

flow.across.the.14B .heat.sinks.is.a.must..For.this.reason.do.not.install.anything.directly.above.it..Allow.3.5'.(2u).to.5".
SST
(3u).inches.of.space.above.and.to.the.sides.of.this.amplifier..Do.not.install.directly.above.other.heat.generating.equipment..
Should.your.instillation.conditions.be.constricted,.then.additional.forced.air-cooling.may.be.necessary..Bryston.can.provide.
an.optional.fan.package.if.required..Thermal.shut.down.during.operation.indicates.insufficient.air.flow,.and.a.remedy.must.
be. found. for. cooling. the. amplifier.. Provide. a. minimum. 6". space. to. the. rear. of. the. amplifier. for. ventilation. and. dressing.
cables.to.and.from.the.amplifier..
Never operate the amplifier in a vertical position..
A/C POWER
Before.plugging.in.the.power.cord.be.sure.your.14B
ity..The.voltage.is.listed.on.the.label.found.at.the.upper.right.of.the.rear.panel..The.circuit.feeding.the.14B
sufficient.so.as.not.to.cause.the.circuit.breaker.to.trip.(15.amp.min.)..Note:.the.14B
into.a.4.ohm.load,.will.consume.all.the.available.power.in.a.normal.household.circuit,.therefore.a.dedicated.electrical.circuit.
may.be.necessary.with.this.situation..Never.lift.the.safety.ground.to.the.amplifier.nor.remove.the.ground.pin.from.the.plug.

POWER CONDITIONERS

Bryston.urges.caution.in.choosing.a.power.conditioner.for.your.audio/video.system..Large.power.amplifiers.can.draw.very.
substantial.current.from.the.wall.plug,.and.many.so-called.power.conditioners.can.in.fact.hinder.the.supply.of.current.by.
inserting.resistances.in.series.with.the.line.cord..However,.there.are.now.power.conditioners.that.can.reduce.or.eliminate.
RF.and.'hash'.from.the.AC.supply.and.may.actually.improve.current.delivery.to.your.system...This.type.of.power.condi-
tioner.(exemplified.by.'TORUS'.Power.Conditioners).uses.the.energy.storage.in.a.large.toroidal.tranformer.to.provide.high.
instantaneous.power.and.reduce.the.substantial.AC.output.resistance.of.the.wall.socket.and.house.wiring..This.resistance.
can.be.in.the.range.of.0.5.to.1.Ohm.and.is.typically.reduced.to.only.a.few.milliOhms.by.the.Power.Conditioner..That.in.turn.
considerably.reduces.Voltage.drop.in.the.power.line.on.high.current.surges.and.quite.substantially.increases.the.stability.
of.the.power.line.improving.audio.(and.video).focus,.precision.and.clarity.
