SUB OUT

These single ended RCA outputs allow you to connect an active subwoofer or a second power

ampliﬁer. The SUB OUT output is buffered using a high-grade Op-Amp. The signal is full range - no

low pass ﬁltering. Completely separated left and right channel signals.

OUTPUT

Balanced fully discrete, DC-coupled Class A preampliﬁer outputs for your power ampliﬁer.

INPUT 1, INPUT 2 Balanced inputs for your balanced sources.

INPUT 3, INPUT 4, INPUT 5 Single ended inputs for your single ended sources.

INPUT 4 is also dedicated “Tape Input”, see MONITOR function.

Use input 5 to connect to the optional Phono module and the GROUND terminal for your turntable.

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 Essence Preampliﬁer 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 stand-

by/ON state of the Essence Preampliﬁer.

Balanced Connections

All Gryphon products use 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.
