MEMO: To All Bryston North American Dealers
SUBJECT: New ‘IS Series’ BIT Products


Premium Power Conditioning at Entry Level Prices

Bryston is pleased to introduce the new BIT ‘IS Series’ of premium power conditioning at entry level prices.

Like all Bryston BIT products, IS Series models provides true isolation from the external power grid, noise filtration using toroidal isolation transformers featuring proprietary NBT technology and high levels instantaneous (peak) current on demand.

To achieve the lower price point, the ‘IS Series’ does not include ‘series mode surge suppression’, which remains available in other Bryston BIT models.

There is no compromise in the IS series – it performs like all Bryston BIT conditioners, offering sparkling performance with noticeable increase in dynamic range, imaging, bass response, depth in audio, and increased definition in video.

There are 3 models available: 5 Amp, 15 Amp, and 20 Amp, - 120 Volt/60Hz
                              
Specifications:

•   Input Voltage and Frequency: 120VAC Range ± 10% (57-63)Hz
•   Input Current Limiting: N/A
•   Input (inlet) connector Rear panel: 15A inlet (20A on IS-20)
•   Output voltage: 120V AC
•   Output connector: Medical Grade Duplex 15A  Outlets
•   Surge Suppression: Not supplied
•   Noise Reduction: Performs as low pass filter, attenuating noise from 2kHz to 1mHz, with attenuation of 12 db/decade to 500 kHz.

You've tweaked my ears with this new product.  Could you share the Canadian and U.S. list prices for all models?
 
In addition, with a 4B-SST2, which would be the recommended model.  I have noted that the 4B-SST2 manual states that the actual current draw into 4 ohms at maximum output is 2100 watts, which actually equates to 17.5 Amps @ 120 volts, which is what is confusing me.

IS Series Single Phase Input  -  120V
            

BIT-IS 5 B 17   IS Series Single 5 Amps/120V/60Hz        1,095.00
BIT-IS 5 S 17            
            
BIT-IS 15 B 17   IS Series Single 15 Amps/120V/60Hz     1,495.00
BIT-IS 15 S 17            
            
BIT-IS 20 B 17   IS Series Single 20 Amps/120V/60Hz    2,395.00


That power draw is not continuous.  I usually recommend a minimum of 10 amp Torus unit with a 4B SST2

James, is there any chance of a 240Volt version for the UK, as we are not getting the full BIT?

Cheers

Hi - we are looking at offering the BIT in 220 and 240 volt versions - so far there has not been much demand outside North America.

Yes I think the drawings are in so we are just waiting for samples.  They are C-Series 19 so they are not rackmount.

It protects you against surges and electrical spikes on the power line. Some areas have serious issues with power spikes and many areas with lightning affecting the power grid.

What duration in a transient fall in power will a BIT 20 buffer?  I live in an area where Summer lighting can be "fierce" and can be associated with rapid transients in power.

Hi Steve

I would have to get that from engineering - what I can say is I have had people call me and tell me that they had a lightening strike and all that survived were the units attached to the Torus.
