Schiit Audio Tyr Monoblock Power Amplifier

A monoblock amplifier is a single-channel unit, meaning you need two of them to power a stereo pair of speakers. This design physically separates the left and right channels, which significantly reduces crosstalk and allows each amplifier to dedicate its entire power supply to one speaker.

The Tyr is built with a massive power supply and high-current output, making it exceptionally capable of driving speakers with low impedance or complex crossover designs. It maintains control and stability even when your speakers demand significant current during dynamic musical passages.

While the Tyr works with any high-quality preamplifier, it features both balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) inputs. For the best performance and lowest noise floor, we recommend using a balanced connection if your preamplifier supports it.

These are substantial amplifiers that generate heat, so they require significant ventilation. You should place them on a sturdy rack or stand with at least six inches of clearance on all sides to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.

Schiit’s Nexus topology is a proprietary circuit design that allows the amplifier to handle both balanced and single-ended signals natively. This ensures that the signal path remains clean and consistent regardless of which input type you choose to use.
