circuits. Unique to Commander, a constrained-layer-damped bottom plate - a “sandwich” of
three individual layers of Kerrock, bitumen and steel - reduce resonances to an absolute
minimum. All amplifier and analogue power supply circuit boards float above these bottom
plates on specially-designed isolators, providing a pristine, virtually vibration-free environment
for the Commander’s sensitive circuitry. A quartet of Gryphon Atlas Spikes under each chassis
move resonance control even closer to theoretical perfection.
Needless to say, every part of the Commander is the finest available: from the Charcroft
Audio ultra-precision resistors used in our volume control to the premium, oversized Mundorf
MCap® ZN foil capacitors specified for local power supply decoupling to the four custom-made
36VA toroidal transformers, no expense has been spared ensuring performance and build
quality that defines the state-of-the-art.
Presented in an extra-thick, 4mm glass window, Commander’s 4.3” TFT capacitive touch
display has been designed to ensure an utterly intuitive user interface. Volume can be
controlled from either the front-panel display or the included Gryphon IR remote control.
Customized system set-up is facilitated by extensive Commander menu control of such
functions as start-up level, left/right channel balance, maximum volume level, source level
matching, input naming, display brightness (including Auto Dim On/Off), dedicated AV-
throughput for integration with Home Theater systems, output level and Green Bias adjustment
for use with Gryphon power amplifiers. In a unique design flourish, Commander’s display
changes with the listener’s distance from the system; in this way; volume and other settings
remain uniformly readable regardless of the listening position.
With the Gryphon Commander, you’re in control! Take command of the world’s finest
audio system: only from Gryphon.
