Further Information


The Cyrus 'Pre'

The Cyrus Pre was a straight line with short path passive technology for input selection circuitry that goes a long way in establishing a sound foundation for the Pre to build on. This passive approach for signal switching ensures an undisturbed, low impedance path for the low level signals. The low current design, gold contact relays ensure zero Power supply related imprint on low level signals potentially caused by actuator coil coupling.
The high speed, discrete current feedback line amplifier provides the choice of either balanced or single-ended ultra low distortion drive to the power amplifier. Balanced drive systems are by definition less susceptible to the effects of environmental interference and are preferable over extended cable lengths where the power amplifiers are placed remote from the Pre-amplifier.
The unique power supply system designed for the Cyrus Pre makes use of low noise shunt regulation techniques, allowing each stage to be driven individually by a high impedance source, eliminating electro-magnetic radiation pickup from power supply. This also ensures zero voltage related intermodulation effects between power supply sections, that in turn can degrade the more subtle characteristics of the reproduced signal in such areas as imaging and focus.
The dual motorised volume potentiometers are calibrated to an exacting level of precision during the manufacturing process. This technique allows utilisation of the preferred passive attenuators with the added benefit of a high degree of accuracy in level control steps and channel balance. The micro-processor controlled servo drive design of the volume control, facilitates remote operation of the Cyrus Pre in a most ergonomic fashion.
