Selecting The Q Factor; Break-In - Gryphon Cantata Owner's Manual

Selecting the Q
factor
On the front panel your Cantata
comes with 3 standard settings,
1 personal setting and a Bypass
option.
Q1 for lively rooms
Q2 for normal damped rooms
Q3 for well damped rooms
Q4 your personal setting
Bypass for playing loud
To determine the right setting
you simply try the three stan-
dard settings. These settings
will cover most situation.
For the discriminate listener
Gryphon will provide a personal
Q setting board to be inserted
into a vacant slot on the main-
board of your Q-Controller. For
your personal Q setting
Gryphon Audio Designs has
configured a number of boards
with different Q settings all
allowing the Cantata speaker to
deliver its full performance. Your
personal Q setting is activated
by pressing "Q4".
Contact your dealer for further
information.
The Low-Cut filter
While playing uneven LPs your
playback system might create
subsonic noise. Since the
Cantata has a very high bass
performance the subsonic noise
will create strong driver move-
ments potentially affecting the
overall performance of the
speaker.
To avoid any such deterioration
the Cantata Q-Controller is pro-
vided with a subsonic filter,
which is activated by pressing
"Low-Cut" on the front panel.
The filter should also be activat-
ed while playing at high levels.

Break-In

Your Cantata requires 200
hours of break-in at moderate
listening levels to get optimal
performance.
