Gryphon Atilla - Manual (Page 14)

Balanced
Connections
All Gryphon products uses the
AES standard for balanced con-
nections.
1. Ground
2. Positive
3. Negative
We recommend the use of dedi-
cated balanced cables. Avoid the
use of adaptors as they degrade
performance.
Atilla Volumen
control.
A unique new volumencontrol
was developed for the Atilla and
this new priinciple will in future
be found in all Gryphons top of
the line products. It is not a digi-
tal devise but a discrete solution
based on fixed resistors in a
ultra short signal path involving a
very smal number of relays
selected for perfect function and
sonic “invisible” qualities. This
technology can sometimes -
dependign on the material played
- make a very smal clicking noise
when used. This is not a sign that
anything is wrong and is normal.
Choice of Cables
Because your Atilla integrated
amplifier is a high-resolution
Gryphon audio device, it will
immediately reveal the charac-
teristics and possible limitations
of the other components in your
system, as well as those of the
interconnects and loudspeaker
cables used to connect your sys-
tem.
Wiring should never be utilized
as "equalizers" to correct errors
elsewhere in the system.
Instead, any error should be cor-
rected at the source, so that
interconnects and loudspeaker
cables can be selected solely on
the basis of sonic neutrality. For
this reason, we employ
Gryphon's own range of inter-
connects and cables in every
stage of the design of every
Gryphon product.
