The COMMANDER is a comprehensive preamplifier from Gryphon Audio, built with balanced four-plus-four input connectivity. The COMMANDER brings Gryphon's uncompromising Danish engineering to dedicated line-level signal control.
Key specs that matter
Four balanced XLR inputs and four single-ended inputs are provided, with two balanced outputs. Gain is 18dBu. Input impedance is 18,000 ohms balanced or 12,000 ohms single-ended. At 480 x 236 x 455mm and 30.5kg, the COMMANDER represents a substantial preamplifier commitment reflecting Gryphon's uncompromising Danish engineering standards.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, transparent signal handling consistent with Gryphon's broader uncompromising high-end engineering philosophy, with the comprehensive four-plus-four connectivity accommodating a source-rich system.
Pairing
Gryphon's own power amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings for a coherently voiced, entirely Gryphon-based system.
Alternatives
Gryphon's own Helios offers a related model with a separate power supply chassis within the same broader preamplifier catalogue.
