CYRUS AUDIO LAUNCH THE NEW PSU-XR POWER SUPPLY

The Cyrus Audio PSU-XR power supply is designed to provide a sound upgrade for all Cyrus XR components.

British HiFi brand Cyrus Audio has announced the PSU-XR, the first power supply from Cyrus to have its own built-in microprocessor; enabling it to talk to the product it is connected to, providing, says Cyrus, “the best configuration of power sources demanded by the host product”.

Flexibility is at the heart of the PSU-XR design, as it can work with all of the products from the current XR range. It has also been developed to be future-proof, with all XR products still to be launched, including the Blu-OS XR streamer, which will require only a simple software update to enable it to talk to the PSU-XR.

CYRUS XR SERIES

As with every product in the XR series, noise has been reduced wherever possible, and the PSU-XR is no different. Output voltages from the PSU-XR are all digitally controlled, so therefore are stable and virtually noise-free, Cyrus tells us.

Ceri Williamson, Head of R&D at Cyrus Audio says, “The PSU-XR is our best-performing power supply, capable of providing up to 60% more power than the PSX-R2 and due to its revolutionary design, is up to 50% more efficient.”
