Subwoofer connection
This single ended RCA output allows you to connect an active
subwoofer or a second power amplifier. This output is full range but
generated with a high-grade Op-Amp.
Green Bias
If you are using a compatible Gryphon power amplifier, you may
choose to connect the Green Bias control link for automatic regulation
of Class A bias of your power amplifier.
12V Link
12V LINK IN is for switching the Zena between standby and ON when
connected to a unit with same feature and protocol.
12V LINK OUT is for switching other compatible units between
standby and ON following the standby/ON state of the Zena.
Balanced Connections
All Gryphon products uses the AES standard for balanced
connections.
1. Ground 2. Positive 3. Negative
We recommend the use of dedicated balanced cables. Avoid the use
of adaptors as they degrade performance.
Zena Volume control
A unique new volume control was developed for the Zena and this
new principle will in future be found in all Gryphons top of the line
products. It is not a digital device, but a discrete solution based on
fixed resistors in an ultra-short signal path involving a very small
number of relays selected for perfect function and sonic “invisible”
qualities. This technology can sometimes - depending on the material
played - make a very small clicking noise when used. This is not a
sign that anything is wrong and is normal.
Choice of Cables
Because your Zena preamplifier is a high-resolution Gryphon audio
device, it will immediately reveal the characteristics and possible
limitations of the other components in your system, as well as those
of the interconnects and loudspeaker cables used to connect your
system.
