plifier. We consider you, our customer, to be
Brystons most important resource, and your
opinion is very much appreciated.

Bryston products are warranted to be free from
manufacturing defects for a minimum of 20,
(twenty), years from the original date of manu-
facture. This includes all parts, labor and one-
way return shipping. This warranty covers the
original owner and any subsequent owners. The
warranty is retroactive for any Bryston product
purchased within the last twenty years. Tamper-

ing by anyone other than factory authorized
personnel voids the warranty. Warranty service

may also contact the Bryston factory or national
service offices directly at the location listed on
the rear page of this manual.

Please keep the original box and all packing

and must return it for service. No warranty card
is necessary to initiate your coverage. Please
refer to the back page for more detailed war-
ranty information.

Bryston 98-ST Amplifier Description:

The Bryston QB-ST is a multi-channel power
amplifier consisting of five independent ampli-
fier modules, each with its own power trans-
former and +/-60V power supply. Each audio
channel provides connections for balanced or

single ended input and will supply a minimum
of 120 watts of power into 8 ohms or 200
watts into 4 ohms.

A remote power control option is available on
THX versions.

Installation Setup And Recommendations:

-) PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION

Do not place the amplifier in an enclosed un-
ventilated area. Allow at a minimum, 3 inches of
space at the top, sides and back as your ampli-
fier relies on convection cooling and ample air
flow is required. Be sure cool air can flow freely
through the amplifier. Do not install near heat
sources such as other power amplifiers, hot air
vents, radiators, etc.

All Bryston amplifiers contain high quality, dedi-
cated circuitry in their power supplies to reject RF,
line spikes and other power-line problems. Bryston
power amplifiers do not require any specialized

PLEASE REFER TO:

power line conditioners. Simply plug the amplifier
directly into its own wall socket.

Make sure the power switch on the front of the
amplifier is in the off (out) position. Plug the power
cord (female end) into the rear of the amplifier,
then insert the male end into the wall outlet. Finally,
upon completion of the installation activate the QB
power switch only after all other equipment is pow-
ered up.

Note:
If rack-mounting the 19 inch version please
ensure that the rear of the QB is well supported.
