Schiit Audio Tyr F

Forget the technobabble and buzzword bingo for a sec. Here’s what Tyr F is: a monstrous, old-skool, crazy heavy, over-the-top mono speaker amplifier. It uses the best of today’s and yesterday’s technologies to create something totally unique—and It has enough power to run almost anything.  Please note: "mono" means "one channel." You need two Tyrs for stereo. 

Beyond Overbuilt

55 lbs. 12 lb choke. 160,000uf filter capacitance. 24 150W Toshiba output devices. 7 internal power supply rails, including HV boost rails that uses unique discrete CFP regulators. Sounds like overkill? It is. Tyr is our most insane amplifier ever, designed for driving difficult speakers without breaking a sweat.

Unique Nexus™ and Continuity™ Topology

Tyr is the ultimate expression of both Nexus and Continuity. In other words, this is a balanced, differential amplifier with a unique discrete, current-feedback gain stage, coupled with Continuity™ output topology that eliminates transconductance droop. In Tyr, we’ve refined Continuity even further, resulting in a cooler-running amplifier.

Back to the Past

One of the keys to Tyr’s performance is it’s huge inductor—literally the same size as the power transformer. This custom-made inductor is the “choke” in the “choke-input power supply.” This is a super old-skool technique you don’t see anymore, because chokes cost a mint and some people think banks of capacitors are more visually impressive.  

Forkbeard™: System-Wide Control, Visibility, and Optimization

We saved the best for last—Tyr F also includes Forkbeard, for system-wide control with a broad range of Schiit products. Forkbeard gives you instantaneous power output, allows you to switch feedback, change inputs, and trigger Standby mode remotely, provides system health alerts for over-temperature and over-current...and that's just the start.  

Designed and Built in the USA

By “designed and built in the USA" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Tyr—chassis, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis and transformers are made in California. Our PCBs are made on our own line in Corpus Christi, and it all comes together in our San Antonio facility.

5-Year Warranty, Easy Returns

Tyr is covered by a 5-year limited warranty that covers parts and labor. And if you don’t like your Tyr, you can send it back for a refund, minus 5% restocking fee, within 15 days of receiving it.
