The TYR is a mono power amplifier from Schiit Audio, an American manufacturer known for delivering competitive engineering at accessible prices, built with substantial output and an extraordinarily wide bandwidth. The TYR brings Schiit's value-focused engineering philosophy to a capable monoblock format.
Key specs that matter
Input impedance is 47k ohms on both balanced and single-ended connections. Output power is a substantial 200W into 8 ohms, rising to 350W into 4 ohms. Gain is 22dB. Frequency response spans an extraordinary 3Hz to 500,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB - a remarkable bandwidth extending far beyond conventional audible range. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 120dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.01% with full global feedback, damping factor exceeding 200, and maximum power consumption at 750W. At 406.4 x 330.2 x 98.3mm and 24.5kg, the TYR represents a substantial monoblock commitment for its accessible price positioning.
Sound and use context
Expect substantial power delivery and exceptional control reflecting the damping factor exceeding 200 and remarkable 120dB signal-to-noise figure, combined with the extraordinarily wide 3Hz-500kHz bandwidth suggesting careful engineering at Schiit's characteristically accessible price point.
Pairing
The substantial 200/350W output and high 47k ohm input impedance suit a wide range of loudspeaker sensitivities and preamplifier pairings.
Alternatives
Schiit Audio's broader amplifier catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting a different power output within the same value-focused American engineering philosophy.
