Cyrus Power Amplifier STEREO 200 balanced

The Cyrus Stereo 200 is a rare beast indeed – lauded by many as one of the finest power amplifiers of its generation, the Stereo 200 is remarkable in its poise, absolute grip and astonishing dynamic range. Based on in-house developed third generation Hybrid Class-D amplification, it is efficiently commanding, yet gloriously musical.

Using the Cyrus Class D hybrid technology able to produce a high powered stereo amplifier in a small box without any cooling issues or compromises in the audio quality. This high efficiency design ensures nearly all the power supply energy is used for the amplifier output rather than wasted as heat. Using this technology (even with the large power outputs) there is no need for cooling fans in the box. Efficiency and damping factor are further improved by the unit harvesting the energy used to stop the speaker cone moving and placing it back into its power supply reservoir.

Each time the amplifier is powered up, the SID (Loudspeaker Impedance Detection System) interrogates the speaker load and adjusts the amplifier to provide correctly balanced and smooth high frequencies. This has proved to be a highly successful method of accurately aligning the class D output devices. When the unit is mains cycled, an assessment is made of the loudspeaker load at high frequencies. There is an adjustment made to the frequency response of the amplifier output to correct for differences when driving different load impedances.

Features:

• Unique Cyrus topology that combines the benefits of high efficiency and lower heat generation;
• Speaker impedance Detection at power up;
• Four independently regulated supplies for the low level audio signal carrying components;
• Totally separate power supply for the microcontroller and all other support electronics;
• Individually fused and decoupled high current supply for the left and right channels;
• Communications: MC-BusTM System Bus; 12V Trigger Input.
