Gryphon Antileon Signature Mono - Manual (Page 17)

bias system is not in the signal
path and has only reference to a
separate deck on the
Preamplifier´s attenuator.
The Antileon responds to prepro-
grammed switching points at the
volume control, based on our
experience with most speakers.
It is however, possible to lower
the switching positions if you
have efficient speakers or if you
wish to play at 100% Class A
even at low playback levels.
Please refer to the preamplifier´s
manual for further information
about this.
If you remove the link between
the Antileon and the preamplifier,
the Antileon will automatically
revert to manual operation only.
Rear Panel Functions
Speaker terminals
The binding posts are custom
designed by Gryphon. The spe-
cial design will provide a tight
reliable connection to: plugs,
lugs or bare wire. Do not use
tools or excessive force when
tightening the terminals.
Balanced Input.
The Antileon provides only bal-
anced input. There are no deteri-
orating phono sockets in parallel
with the balanced input.
The Antileon balanced inputs are
made to AES standards:
Pin # 1 Shield
Pin # 2 Positive
Pin # 3 Negative
The single-ended to balanced
adaptors provided with the
amplifier should only be used as
a temporary solution and MUST
be replaced with a dedicated
balanced cable connection, or a
cable that converts single ended
to balanced.

The Antileon
protection System
Gryphon has designed a unique
comprehensive system with no
circuit breakers in the signal
path. The “smart” Gryphon pro-
tection system constantly moni-
tors the amplifier by checking 10
times per sec. when the amplifi-
er is on regardless if whether the
amplifier is on stand-by or active.
DC & HF:
When DC or HF from the source
component is detected, the
Antileon will mute immediately:
Normal operation will resume
when the error condition is cor-
rected.
