CHOKE-INPUT NEXUS AND CONTINUITY
MONOBLOCK AMPLIFIER
IN NORSE MYTHOLOGY, TYR WAS THE GOD OF WAR AND JUSTICE.
HE WAS ALSO ONE-ARMED BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING TO BE COOL
WITH FENRIR AND THE OTHER GODS PLAYED A TRICK ON HIM.
IN OUR SIMPLE MINDS, ONE-ARMED = MONOBLOCK.
YEAH. THAT’S WHERE COMICS GET YOU.

OWNER’S MANUAL
TM TM
Tyr is a choke-input monoblock amplier featur-
ing our Nexus™ differential topology and Conti-
nuity™ constant-transconductance output stage.
Or, in non-techy, non-buzzword-bingo terms, it’s
Schiit’s biggest and best amplier. We’ve looked
back to the past to bring back one of its great-
est hits—the choke-input power supply—while
incorporating state-of-the-art microprocessor
oversight and protection.
INTRODUCTION
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
(1) Tyr
(1) Power cord, special super-thick edition
(0) Fanciness in the power cord
(0) Expectation the cord changes the sound
The following is required by the roughly 9,542
government agencies and regulations we have to
comply with. If you have some common sense, they
should seem pretty straightforward. In any case, read these
instructions before proceeding farther, follow all instructions,
and heed all warnings. Or else!
1. If you don’t know how to install audio devices, get a
qualied professional to help.
2. Never use this device near water, and clean only with a
dry cloth.
3. Assure adequate ventilation, do not block any ventilation
openings, or place near heat sources.
4. Use only the supplied power cord or suitable replacement.
Route cords away from trac areas and protect them from
being pinched. Unplug the cord from the outlet if the apparatus
is unused for a long period of time.
5. To prevent electric shock, do not use the plug with an
extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless blades can be
fully inserted.
6. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Service is
required when the device has been damaged, including cord or
plug damage, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
GETTING STARTED
“How hard can it be getting started with a
simple speaker amp?” you may be asking. Well,
not hard at all, as long as you keep a few things
in mind.
Tyr is heavy. Not like “so heavy you need
reinforced concrete oors,” or “this amp creates
its own gravity,” but probably heavier than you
think. Each is about 55 pounds, while still being
relatively small. Be careful when lifting and
moving Tyr.
Tyr runs warm. Again, this isn’t grille-meat-
while-you-listen warm, but each Tyr runs pretty
warm. That means:
• Do not stack your Tyrs
• Ensure there’s plenty of ventilation around
each Tyr
• If you’re putting Tyrs in a cabinet, ensure at
least 2” of free airspace above each amp, and
that the cabinet is open to the air on at least
one side
• If you’re putting them directly on the ground,
thick carpet may impede airow over the
exposed heatsinks
Also, if you like your house warm--as in, over
80 degrees F, don’t be surprised if Tyr may
need some additional fan cooling. These amps
are designed for use in typical air-conditioned
indoor temperatures.
You need one Tyr per speaker. Yes, this might
sound silly, but we actually have gotten a lot of
questions about how to connect this amplier
to two speakers. However, Tyr is a monoblock—
which means it’s a single-channel amplier.
Which means you need one per speaker.
You can’t “bridge” Tyr. This is a differential
amplier, which means both speaker terminals
are “hot.” This also means you can’t use Tyr with
speakers that have a common ground between
both channels (this is very, very odd—if there are
no cables connecting your speakers together,
you’re safe).

1 & 2 Speaker Outputs. Connect a speaker to
these outputs. The right output is positive, and
left output is negative, but both are active—don’t
ground either output, or connect them together.
3 RCA Input. Connect one channel of a single-
ended source using a high-quality RCA cable.
4 Input Switch. Up selects the XLR balanced
input, down selects the RCA input.

5 XLR Input. Connect one channel of a balanced
source using a high-quality XLR cable.
6 Power Switch. Up is on. Down is off. Pretty
simple. Feel free to leave the amp on all the
time if you’d like, and use the front button to put
it into low-power Standby mode. An extra fuse is
located in the integrated fuseholder.

1Standby Light. When this light is on, Tyr is
in Standby mode—the amp is muted and the
output stage is de-biased. This light also serves
as an alert light. It ashes during self-check
on startup and ashes if there is a fault. If it
ashes during operation, Tyr is too hot.
2 Standby Button. Press this button to put Tyr
in Standby mode and signicantly reduce power
draw. Press again to take Tyr out of Standby
mode for normal use.
OPERATION
3Operate Light. When this light is on, Tyr is
in Operate mode and working optimally (that
is, it will play music when fed a musical signal
from an appropriate source.) If it ashes during
operation, Tyr has detected a DC level that is
too high.
Note: if both the Standby and Operate lights
ash, Tyr has detected an overcurrent condition.

Okay, so you have a ashing light (or two.)
Deep breath. We’ll get this taken care of
shortly.
When Tyr runs into an operational problem,
it will mute and ash one or more of its front
lights. This is what it means:
1. Over-temperature (left, Standby light ash-
ing). The heatsinks are too hot, and Tyr has
muted so it can cool down. Turn off the amp,
wait a while for it to cool down, and try turning it
on again. Tyr runs high standing bias, and needs
to be in a well-ventilated area. In very warm
homes (more than 30 degrees C/85 degrees
F, for example), you may need to use a fan for
additional cooling to avoid overtemperature
shutdown.
2. High DC offset (right, Operate light ashing).
Tyr is a DC-coupled amp. Its microprocessor
monitors DC levels at the output. If a high DC
level is detected, the amp will mute to protect
your speakers. To clear this fault, turn off the
CLEARING FAULTS
amp, disconnect the RCA cables or XLR cable
from the amp, and turn it back on again. If
the amp turns on normally, then there may be
high DC on the output of your source. Have the
source inspected and repaired.
3. Over-current (both Standby and Operate
lights ashing). If your speaker cables are
shorted, or if you are running into an especially
demanding speaker load, Tyr may go into over-
current protection. As with other fault modes,
it mutes for protection, and ashes both front
lights.
To troubleshoot over-current protection, turn
off the amp, disconnect the speaker cables
from the amp, and turn it back on again. If it
comes back on, there may be a short in your
speaker cables (or your speakers). Examine your
connections to ensure there are no stray wires
or shorts. Once those have been xed, you can
reconnect the speakers and play music again.
