The Bryston 3B Cubed: A Modern Legend with Studio Soul
In 1973, a prototype amplifier, the PRO 3, earned its place in a top recording studio on its very first audition. That legendary DNA, refined over nearly five decades of relentless engineering, lives on in the Bryston 3B Cubed. It’s an amplifier with a direct lineage to the professional world, built to deliver breathtaking realism and unflinching reliability in your home.
The Power of Purity, Distilled While it traces its heritage back to the studio, the 3B Cubed is a thoroughly modern powerhouse. It incorporates the same exclusive, patented technologies—like the remarkable Salomie circuit—found in Bryston's most venerated Cubed Series amplifiers. It shares the same sonic heart as its famous bigger brother, the 4B, offering that same level of transparency, detail, and control in a more compact and versatile form factor.
At its core is a true dual-mono design, with fully independent power supplies and transformers for each channel. This uncompromising architecture delivers a vast, stable, three-dimensional soundstage and unlocks a powerful 200 watts per channel (up to 300 into 4 ohms). This is power with purpose: an iron-fisted grip that commands your speakers, revealing effortless dynamics and subtle nuances in every recording.
Intelligently Designed for the Real World Beyond its sonic prowess, the 3B Cubed is an intelligent choice for any high-performance system. Its refreshingly shallow chassis depth makes it ideal for installations in custom cabinetry or racks where space is at a premium. Switchable gain settings ensure perfect synergy with any preamplifier, while its fanless, convection-cooled design guarantees completely silent operation. For the professional or custom installer, the PRO version adds rack mounting and rear-panel trim controls for precision calibration.
As with all Bryston components, the 3B Cubed is built to a standard, not a price. This commitment to excellence is backed by the legendary Bryston 20-year warranty, ensuring an investment that will deliver breathtaking musical realism for decades to come.
