Introduction
Welcome to the global
family of proud owners of
fine audio components
from Gryphon Audio
Designs of Denmark. Your
new Gryphon unit has
been painstakingly
designed to re-create the
sound of live music taking
place in its original
recorded space. Every
Gryphon product is
designed to cater
to the needs of the
most discerning
music enthusiast
with sumptuous
styling and superb user-
friendliness which elevate
it above the mundane
world of conventional
audio components.
As audiophiles, the mem-
bers of the Gryphon
design team are constant-
ly reminded to keep their
priorities straight. We are
not involved in “hi-fi” for
its own sake, but strictly as
a means to an end, in the
service of our life-long
love of the live music
experience in all its sonic
and emotional glory.
Our higher goal is to
bring to the listener a
“You-Are-There” sensa-
tion. In taking up this chal-
lenge, the Gryphon
designers go back to
basics to analyze the
essential nature of the live
music experience. For us,
an awareness of
soundstaging, ambi-
ence and concert
hall dimensions are
necessary compo-
nents. Dynamics and an
unambiguous sense of
instrument location even
in the loudest passages
are also high priorities. To
achieve these objectives,
Gryphon products offer
exceptional speed and
agility along with seam-
less coherence in the time
domain.
Since 1985, Gryphon
Audio Designs has quietly
gone about the business
