Bryston 9B Cubed Modular Multi Channel Amplifier

Overview

The Bryston 9B Cubed (9B³) is a modular multi-channel power amplifier available in 3, 4, or 5 channel configurations, with each channel rated at 200 watts into 8 ohms and up to 300 watts into 4 ohms. Channels can be added or removed later, so the amp can grow with a home theatre or multi-zone system.

Each channel is fully independent, with its own power supply and toroidal transformer. Bryston says that means high output on one channel won't be a drag on the others, keeping every note dynamic and clear. The 9B³ also brings Bryston's patented Salomie circuit to a five-channel form factor for the first time, with distortion rated under 0.005% (THD+N, 20Hz to 20kHz at rated power).

Network monitoring and control is built into every unit: from the amp's own webpage you can power it on or off, check temperature, see clipping warnings, mute individual channels, and update firmware. Single-ended and balanced inputs, switchable 23dB or 29dB gain, a DC trigger, fanless convection cooling, and a SoftStart sequence that won't trip breakers round it out.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

The 9B³ suits home theatres and multi-room systems where several speakers need the same quality of amplification. Because channels are modular, you can start with three for the front stage and add more later. The built-in network page is useful in an automated home, since you can check status and mute channels without walking to the rack. Leave space around it for convection cooling.

Why the Bryston 9B Cubed Stands Out

200W Per Channel

200 watts into 8 ohms and up to 300 watts into 4 ohms on every channel.

Fully Modular

3, 4, or 5 channels, with channels added or removed later on.

Independent Power Supplies

Each channel has its own power supply and toroidal transformer.

Network Monitoring and Control

Power, temperature, clipping, channel mute, and firmware updates from the amp's own webpage.

Salomie Input Circuit

Bryston's patented circuit in a five-channel form factor for the first time.

Fanless Convection Cooling

Fully convection cooled, with no noisy fans.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

  • The Home Theatre Builder: Wants matched, high-quality amplification across front and surround channels.
  • The Multi-Zone Integrator: Wants network monitoring and control for an automated home.
  • The Growing System: Wants to start with fewer channels and add more later.

How It Compares

The 9B³ brings Cubed Series performance to up to five 200W channels in one chassis. For two-channel systems, the 3B³ offers the same 200W per channel into 8 ohms in a stereo chassis, while the 4B³ steps up to 300W per channel.
