The Gryphon Mojo monitor system Welcome to our world Words by Flemming E. Rasmussen, CEO and Founder of Gryphon Audio Designs Two decades have passed since the first Gryphon saw the light of day. It wasn't a case of planned parenthood, more an inevitable love child the fruit of a long-standing love affair with music and audio. Gryphon embarked on a long journey back then, made long not by detours, but simply because our destination is so far away.
Steen Duelund 1943 -2005 Lars Matthisen, Chief Acoustic adviser at Gryphon, carrier of the Duelund flame. Beginning with source components, Gryphon designed the world's first single-chassis CD player with onboard upsampling. The third generation of this innovative technology, the Gryphon Mikado, has won numerous awards around the world. The next logical step was to apply the uncompromising Gryphon take-no-prisoners approach to the final link in the chain.
In general, a loudspeaker can be no better than the listening room allows it to be. Therefore, the listening room is the most important element in a high performance sound system and for this reason is often referred to as the final frontier. Few people have the luxury of a dedicated, purpose-built listening room. Most of us listen to music in a room that also serves as the living room. There are several ways to address this challenge. Here are the most common “solutions”… A.
prefer a speaker with full frequency response from the delicate high-frequency shimmer of a triangle to the lowest notes of a church organ. All speakers should ideally provide superior high frequency performance, but speakers with full output at low frequencies require large drivers and consequently large cabinets with huge internal volume. Low frequencies also require movement of large amounts of air in the room.
and which speakers we recommend. Our answer has always been that we recommend the speaker that sounds best in the room in which it will be used. When we use the term “best” we mean correct and realistic in musical terms, essentially neutral, but with all the dynamics and excitement of listening to live music. We find headroom, ambience and tonal coherency to be key elements in the live music experience.
low distortion and with a total absence of compression. A categegory of tweeter rarely found in monitor-sized speaker systems. The speaker terminals are Gryphon's proprietary 5 way terminals used on Gryphon products such as the Poseidon and Colloseum products. The Crossover The Mojo crossover is a showcase of carefully chosen or purpose manufactured components.
Owner's Manual When you purchase the Mojo system, your authorized Gryphon dealer delivers and installs it. His staff has been meticulously schooled in the proper unpacking and set-up of the system. Your dealer will return after a two-week break-in period for final adjustment. This service is included in the price of the Mojo system and is crucial to optimizing system performance. The Listening Room This section outlines ideal room dimensions and speaker placement.
Note: plush furnishings provide high acoustic damping, requiring greater system output. Mojo was developed in a 50 sq.m. room with typical acoustic damping corresponding to most modern residential spaces. We do NOT recommend room treatments for added damping behind the loudspeakers. Some damping behind the listening position is recommended, especially if it is close to the rear wall.
Tweeter tuning Sometimes, room acoustics may require a slight adjustment of HF levels to obtain seamless presentation. WE would not consider a potentiometer - ruining the fantastic performance of the tweeter. Instead, the Mojo is fitted with a set of Duelund Graphite resistors on the back of the speaker, protected under a steel bar. The extra resistors are in the box with accessories. The resistors are placed in the clips and the leads connected to the black terminals.
