Bryston has announced the introduction of their Active Loudspeaker lineup, featuring three speaker models of different sizes, combined with the DSP-enabled BAX-1 active crossover and legendary Cubed-Series amplifier technology, in an effort to create an ultimate performance audiophile package.
The Bryston Active system features both loudspeakers and electronic components, and two new amplifier models, the 3-channel 21B3 and 6-channel 24B3, have been created especially for the series. At the heart of every Bryston Active system is the BAX-1 crossover. The Bryston BAX-1 is a state-of-the-art digital crossover containing proprietary software for each active loudspeaker model. The BAX-1 receives a full-range analog audio signal from the preamplifier and performs the three-way crossover functionality and driver correction for each channel, also applying any user-selected filters for tailoring the bass response of the loudspeakers. The signal is then sent to each amplifier channel.
The Bryston 21B Cubed 3-channel amplifier was crafted to provide an ideal amplification for any of the three Active systems, providing earth-moving power and flawless precision for music enthusiasts, the company states. Two 21B Cubed amplifiers are required to drive a pair of Bryston Active Loudspeakers. The Bryston 24B Cubed is a single chassis solution offering 6-channels of amplification. Delivering less total system power than two 21B3s, but ample power for many listeners, the 24B3 is ideally suited for the Middle T Active and Mini T Active systems. Both amplifiers are easily connected using color-coded wiring, and both models are available with silver or black, 17-inch (without handles) or 19-inch (with handles), faceplates. In addition to the 21B3 and 24B3, Bryston Active systems can be built around any combination of amplifiers from the Bryston lineup.
All Bryston Active Loudspeakers are available in rich veneers such as Black Ash, Natural Cherry and Boston Cherry. Custom veneers are available with a surcharge. The Model T Active is a 52.5-inch tall floorstanding three-way loudspeaker featuring three high-excursion 8-inch woofers, two 5.25-inch midrange drivers and two 1-inch tweeters. The Middle T Active is a 39.5-inch floor-standing three-way loudspeaker featuring two high-excursion 8-inch woofers, a 5.25-inch midrange and a 1-inch tweeter. The Mini T Active is a large 22.5-inch bookshelf speaker, featuring a high-excursion 8-inch woofer, a 5.25-inch midrange and a 1-inch tweeter. According to the press release, each system has been optimized using an anechoic chamber, generating over 300 measurements that reside within the system’s software.
The Bryston Model T Active system, comprised of the BAX-1, a pair of 21B3 amplifiers and a pair of Model T Active loudspeakers has an MSRP of $33,770 and will be available Q1, 2018. The Bryston Middle T Active system, including the BAX-1, a 24B3 amplifier and a pair of Middle T Active loudspeakers has an MSRP of $20,230 and will be available Q2, 2018. The Bryston Mini T Active system, featuring the BAX-1, a 24B3 amplifier and a pair of Mini T Active loudspeakers has an MSRP of $17,690 and will also become available Q2, 2018.
