The Brio Integrated Amplifier - NEW for 2017

The new Brio from REGA is quite a step up from its predecessor. Full aluminum heat sink chassis and improved build quality the Brio also hosts a special headphone socket on the front panel that's designed to avoid interference with the internal audio circuits when not in use. As normal with Rega the Brio also houses a high spec moving magnet phono stage.

Compact and sounding great the Brio is a great match with smaller speakers for a compact system for smaller to medium rooms. Combined with the VAF Signature I-91 speakers it's a giant killer in a small form factor.

Throughout the design process the Brio has been meticulously improved in every aspect, from the quality of materials to the manufacturing process, to make this new Brio a step ahead in Rega’s engineering and design for amplifiers..

Sleek design the black chassis offset with the brushed stainless volume looks classy but minimal in its appearance.

Technical Specification

Specifications
Input sensitivities for rated output level:
Input 1 (phono) input sensitivity = 2.1mV at 47KΩ in parallel with 220pF.
Maximum Input 1 (phono) input level = 100mV
Input 2-5 (line) input sensitivity = 210mV at 47kΩ
Maximum input 2-5 (line) input level = 10.25V

Power outputs at 230/115V supply voltage:
50 Watts RMS both channels driven into the rated load of 8Ω
58 Watts RMS one channel driven into the rated load of 8Ω
73 Watts RMS both channels driven into the rated load of 4Ω
93 Watts RMS one channel driven into the rated load of 4Ω

Continued high level use into 4Ω may cause the case to exceed 40° C above the ambient temperature.

Headphone output:
No load = 8V
32Ω = 1.8V
54Ω = 2.6V
300Ω = 5.9V
Source impedance = 109Ω

Power consumption:
195 Watts at 230V/220V/115V/100V into the rated load of 8Ω

Record output level:Record output level (with rated input levels) = 210Mv.
Record output impedance = 470Ω
