[James Tanner - Bryston]

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

Hi Michael

Yes you are correct. We were the Torus distributor and helped Torus develop the product initially. We then decided to use that new transformer technology in our larger power amplifiers rather than externally so the new 7B, 14B and 28B have the new transformers already.

The other issue that came up when we were distributing Torus was that our customers wanted the Torus to match cosmetically with their Bryston gear.

So long story short we decided to offer the Torus products with our cosmetics but not the larger versions (above 20 Amps) because our larger amps already had them.

You can certainly feel comfortable buying the Torus though instead of the Bryston if larger units are required or you are not concerned about any cosmetic match.
