Cyrus Audio

Cyrus Audio is an internationally acclaimed, high-end British audio equipment manufacturer established in 1984 when the brand was spun off from loudspeaker manufacturer Mission, with Peter Bartlett hired from NAD to lead the new venture and launch the original Cyrus One amplifier. Based at their headquarters in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, England, Cyrus has remained one of the few independent British hi-fi brands for over 40 years, designing and manufacturing award-winning integrated amplifiers, CD players, DACs, power supplies, and streaming systems. The company achieved early success with the Cyrus One amplifier in 1984 and has maintained its reputation through continuous innovation, including the latest 40 Series featuring the 40 AMP integrated amplifier, 40 ST music streamer, and 40 CD player, incorporating advanced ESS ES9039Q2M chipsets supporting up to 32-bit 768kHz PCM and DSD1024 audio files. After various ownership changes in the 1990s, Peter Bartlett led a management buyout in 2005, maintaining private ownership until recent leadership transitions brought Nick Clarke as Managing Director in January 2022, supported by Chairman Simon Freethy. Proudly maintaining UK manufacturing through their partnership with SMS Electronics in Nottingham (who have provided PCB boards for over 20 years), Cyrus Audio continues serving audiophiles worldwide with products designed to connect listeners with the power and raw emotion of music, earning countless awards and accolades while employing approximately 20 people and generating $5 million in annual revenue from their Cambridgeshire operations.
