Gryphon Legato Legacy - Manual (Page 12)

AC Fuses
(Stand alone units with dedicated
power supply )
The Legato powersupply has an
AC fuse holder for each chan-
nel.
100-120V. countries: 800m AT
200 -240V. countries:400m AT
DO NOT REPLACE WITH ANY
OTHER FUSE VALUE.
AC Power
The Legato should ideally be
connected to a separate AC
group independent of other
equipment.
The Legato is designed for use
with a three-pin AC connection
with separate ground, but may in
some countries be used with
alternative grounding. Your
Gryphon dealer or importer will
give you further details.
AC Grounding
In order to utilize the AC filtering
section of the power supply, con-
nection to ground is essential.
Generally, overall performance
can be greatly improved with
proper grounding. The degree of
improvement will depend on
local conditions
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?
The Legato has its own built-in
AC conditioner (each channel).
If you use external line condi-
tioners or other devices, we
strongly recommend that you lis-
ten to the Legato 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 Legato is a true dual mono
construction and we must stong-
ly emphasize the importance of
symmetrical AC power polarity
for each channel. Asymmetrical
AC polarity will strongly degrade
