ABOUT CYRUS AUDIO

A British hi-fi icon for over 40 years.

The story that created an icon

Cyrus Audio is one of the most recognisable British hi-fi brands, known for creating compact, technologically advanced audio devices that have been acclaimed by music lovers worldwide for decades. The company was founded in 1984 in Cambridgeshire, England, and has focused from the beginning on designing electronics that provide the most faithful reproduction of music possible. Its first product was the Cyrus One amplifier, which immediately gained iconic status and set the direction for the brand's development for the following decades.

Independent British manufacturer

Cyrus remains one of the few independent hi-fi brands in the UK. The company has operated continuously in Cambridgeshire, where its headquarters, research and development centre, and production lines are located. All devices – amplifiers, CD players, streamers, power amplifiers, and power supplies – are designed and manufactured in the UK by production partner SMS Electronics. This allows Cyrus to maintain full control over the quality and character of its products.




40 years of innovation and groundbreaking solutions

Since its inception, Cyrus has been a pioneer of many technologies and design solutions. The company's R&D team is responsible for numerous industry 'firsts', constantly pushing the boundaries of compact hi-fi electronics. It was Cyrus that, as one of the first manufacturers, proved that half-width devices could offer full-size, audiophile sound quality.

The brand's key achievements include:

  • A unique, compact 'half-width' chassis that has become the company's trademark,
  • Modular design of many devices, allowing for their expansion,
  • Advanced external power supplies, significantly improving sound quality,
  • Precision CD drives and proprietary solutions for digital signal processing,
  • Modern DAC and streaming circuits used in the latest series 40.
All these elements share one goal: to provide the user with the best possible musical experience.

Cyrus One - the product that started the legend

In 1984, Cyrus introduced the Cyrus One amplifier, which immediately gained recognition for its exceptional sound quality and distinctive design. Its compact casing, excellent dynamics, and musicality made it an icon, and it is still remembered today as one of the most important amplifiers in the history of British hi-fi. This model shaped the brand's DNA - a combination of innovation, functionality, and uncompromising sound.


Contemporary offering – series 40

Cyrus continues to evolve, as evidenced by the latest series 40, which includes:

  • 40 AMP - premium integrated amplifier
  • 40 ST – advanced music streamer,
  • 40 CD – precision CD player with a modern DAC
  • 40 PSU – additional external power supply

These devices utilise the latest technologies, including high-end ESS Sabre converters, advanced digital circuits, and improved power supply designs. The series 40 exemplifies how Cyrus combines its heritage with modernity, offering equipment with exceptional musicality and precision.

Series 80 – a new chapter in the history of Cyrus

The introduction of the 80 series is not only an expansion of the offering but also a strategic evolution of the brand. Cyrus remains true to its compact tradition while also opening up to customers who prefer classic, full-size hi-fi systems. The 80 series is a response to long-standing market expectations and confirms that Cyrus can combine its heritage with a modern approach to audio electronics design.
