The output amplifier is capable of driving awkward loads as low as 1.7Ω, below

this the amplifier is protected against shorted speakers and reactive loads.    

The power supply uses a low noise generously rated toroidal transformer and

10,000µF smoothing capacitors that provide enough current to drive the most

awkward of loads.

We have avoided superfluous gadgets such as tone controls and headphone

sockets as they obstruct the signal path and degrade sound quality. The Rega

Ear (sold seperately) is a dedicated headphone amplifier designed specifically

for this purpose offering far greater performance than an in built socket.

The 

Brio-

R

is  utilising  the  highest  quality  components  and  all  of  our

engineers’ experience to achieve the best sonic performance and ensuring it is

the most advanced and feature packed Brio to date.

INSTALLATION

The 

Brio-

R

will  work  well  on  most  surfaces,  such  as  a  shelf  or  table,

provided there is sufficient air around the amplifier to prevent overheating. If

using  a  turntable,  magnetic  interference  can  be  avoided  by  positioning  the

amplifier as far away from the cartridge as the tonearm lead will allow. Never

stack other hi-fi equipment directly on top of the amplifier. The heat produced

by the 

Brio-

R

is dispersed to the air by the case itself. Ensure that the case

has an unobstructed air passage around it. Never place it directly on fabric or

carpets.
