Gryphon Antileon Signature Mono - Manual (Page 15)

Antileon is equipped with tall feet
for free air circulation, even on
thick carpets. The feet also allow
you to push the amplifier across
the floor without lifting it.
AC Fuses
Antileon Fuseholder:
220-240v. 2x6.3 AT
100-120v. 2x12 AT
AC Power Cords
Use only a dedicated AC power
cord. Do NOT use loudspeaker
cable or other wire not expressly
designed to carry high current.
Improper cable or cables of
insufficient gauge will generate
heat and the insulation may melt
with disastrous results.
AC cords DO have an audible
effect on sound quality, but
experiments should be carried
out with due consideration to
safety.
Power Line
Conditioners?
We do not recomend the use of
any kind of power line condition-
ing with the Antileon Signature.
If you wish to experiment with
external line conditioners or
other devices, we strongly rec-
ommend that you listen to the
Antileon without these devices
before making your decision.
Remember to listen for correct
sound and not merely different
sound.

AC Polarity
Do not run, thin, coiled, exten-
sion cords.
The Antileon Signature is a true
dual mono construction and we
must stongly emphasize the
importance of symmetrical AC
power polarity for each channel.
Asymmetrical AC polarity will
seriously degrade soundstage
recreation and other important
aspects of the Antileon perform-
ance. The Antileon Signatures
display will warn you if AC polar-
ity is assymetrical.
Front panel functions
From left:
1.ON/OFF
Turns off all active circuitry, but
there is still AC power inside the
Amplifier. For full shutdown use
the 2 master AC power switches
on rear or disconnect the AC
cords.
When turning the Antileon on
from the front, the Gryphon logo
and all display indications will
flash for approx 15 sec. before
the amplifier is fully operational.
When the amplifier is ready the
Gryphon logo will stay on and 2
green
OK indicators will be on
for 5 sec. If Green bias cable is
connected, Green bias (
GB )
light will also be on for 5 sec.
If AC the cords are not connect-
ed with the same polarity, the
PHASE indicator remain on until
problem is solved.
