The Rega Brio Integrated Amplifier is a new improved version of the Rega Brio-R. The fully aluminium two-part case boosts the Brio’s heatsinking capabilities and improves on Rega’s already solid build quality and reliability.

The Rega’s new Brio also has the capability to drive standard hi-fi headphones from the internal amplifier. Rega have used the same switch that deactivates the main speakers seen in other-higher spec Rega amplifier models, This reduces the impact that the headphone input has on the main signal path in order to not disrupt the overall sound quality.

Rega have also improved the circuit design. This includes a fully upgraded PCB layout enabling the Brio to handle higher specifications for all critical parts, they have added a second raw power supply in order to provide further isolation between the output stage and the driver stage/line and phono amplifiers, further improving the isolation between high and low level signal stages of the amplifier.

Higher specification MUSES operational amplifiers have also been used in the line and phono amplifier.

Weight 6.2 kg
Dimensions 440 × 370 × 140 mm
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:

50Watts RMS both channels driven into the rated load of 8Ω
58Watts RMS one channel driven into the rated load of 8Ω
73Watts RMS both channels driven into the rated load of 4Ω
93Watts 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:

195Watts 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

Frequency response:

Phono 15Hz to 40KHz (-3dB Points) / 27Hz to 20.5KHz (-1dB Points)
RIAA accuracy (100Hz to 10KHz) ± 0.4dB typically better than ± 0.3dB
Line 12Hz (-1dB points) to 43KHz (-3dB points)
Remote control batteries included – 2 x AAA Alkaline.

Fuse ratings:

T2AL 250V – 230V/50Hz and 220V/60Hz
T3.15AL 250V – 115V/60Hz and 100V 50/60Hz
