Gryphon Antileon Signature Stereo - Manual (Page 17)

The Green Bias
If you own a Gryphon preampli-
fier with the green bias link, The
Antileon will automatically
change bias with reference to
the actual position of the
Preamplifiers volume control,
independent of the music signal.
If you wish the Antileon to go to
Stand-By for idling, you must
turn the volume control all the
way down, even if you are not
playing music. Remember, the
Green bias system is not in the
signal path and has only refer-
ence to a separate deck on the
Preamplifiers attenuator.
The Antileon responds to prepro-
grammed switching points at the
volume control, the selected
points are based on our experi-
ence 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 preamplifiers 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.

Speaker terminals.
The bindingposts 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 RCA standard jacks in
parallel with the balanced input.
The Antileon balanced inputs are
made to AES standards:

Pin # 2 Positive
Pin # 3 Negative
The Single ended to balanced
adaptors that are provided with
the amplifier whould only be
used as a temporary solution
