B135 SST2
The Bryston B135 SST22 Integrated Amplifier is without question one of the most sonically transparent and
reliable audio products available. It offers performance levels equal to the finest separate audio components.
The B135 SST2 provides 135 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 180 watts per channel at 4 ohms. There are
provisions for 7 high level inputs, a pass-through feature is also available in addition to, one tape loop and a preout/
main-in feature. A headphone jack is provided for those requiring monitoring and private listening provisions.
A fully functioning remote control is standard.
• Three completely separate and independent custom
torodial power supplies are employed to prevent any
possibility of channel to channel cross talk, interference
or interaction between digital and analog sections.
• Our unique ultra-linear input buffer with gain results
in a substantial reduction in noise floor and distortion.
• Pass-through feature to allow for simple integration
into multi-channel surround systems.
• Pre-out/main-in connectors allow for complete
separation of the preamplifier and power amplifier
sections making multi-channel system integration
quick and easy.
• Gold plated five-way speaker binding posts and gold
plated RCA/SPDIF input and output connectors
provide long-term trouble - free connections.

+ BRYSTON WARRANTY
In a world where most things seem to need frequent
upgrading, repair, or replacement, how can Bryston offer
a comprehensive, unconditional, and fully transferable
warranty on every audio product we make?
The answer would quickly become apparent if you
were to tour Bryston’s plant in Peterborough, Ontario,
Canada. State-of-the-art design facilities, with the latest
CAD and circuit simulation software, and an inventory of
some of the best and most reliable parts on the planet,
combine with a manufacturing philosophy that eschews
the artifacts of mass production — robots, moving
assembly lines, and, frankly, shortcuts. Every Bryston
audio component is handcrafted by people who take great
pride in building the very best. We don’t skimp on testing
or rush our products through some last-minute go/
no-go check; at every stage individual parts, completed
circuit-boards, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies are all
put through rigorous inspection and testing procedures.
When completed, every Bryston amplifier receives a
comprehensive and carefully documented test of all its
functions, and the printed results of this computer-aided
analysis are actually packed and shipped with each unit.
During this intensive procedure, we not only reject any
product that falls outside of our advertised specifications,
but also any not meeting an even narrower band of
specifications that we use for internal testing. As a result,
you can expect each Bryston product to perform as least
twice as well as the advertised specifications.
Our 20-year amplifier warranty and 5-year digital circuit
warranty drives us in a different direction from the
typical manufacturer. We consider a Bryston product to
be a mutual investment: by you, in an amplifier of lasting
quality, and by us, in that we invest in the quality of the
product in order to be secure in offering our warranty. It
simply makes good economic sense to produce the very
best products we can.
Canada’s largest independent manufacturer of high-end audio electronics
for consumers and professionals. Founded 1962.
