KODO
The Kodo upper-frequency towers are laid out in a symmetrical vertical array of four 4”, exclusive Gryphon midrange drivers (two directly above and two directly below the central AMT high frequency driver) and six 5” Gryphon midbass drivers (three at the top and three at the bottom) to complement the bold design of the bass towers.
THE FOUR TOWERS
To return to the words of www.sixmoons.com – “The engineering team behind Gryphon’s speaker endeavours plays ball in the top leagues.”
Put simply, each Kodo section is a tower of strength and style.
Elegant and deceptively simple, the four towers that make up the Gryphon Kodo system are carefully conceived and executed multi-layer constructions for extreme structural integrity and acoustic damping.
The MDF side panels of the modules are reinforced with 5 mm aluminium panels. The stacked modules incorporate additional 8 mm aluminium panel supports.
The solid aluminium base for each tower is fitted with adjustable, polyoxometalate feet.
The Kodo upper-frequency towers are laid out in a symmetrical vertical array of four 4”, exclusive Gryphon midrange drivers (two directly above and two directly below the central AMT high frequency driver) and six 5” Gryphon midbass drivers (three at the top and three at the bottom) to complement the bold design of the bass towers.
Each Gryphon Kodo bass tower houses eight custom designed 8” drive units and a built-in Gryphon power amplifier capable of 1,000 Watts continuous output into the drivers. For ultimate headroom, peak power is approximately 4,000 Watts or 4.5 horsepower.
The integrated bass system is conceived and born with a single purpose in life – to drive one specific set of drivers in one specific enclosure across a very narrowly defined frequency band. This is specialist audio at its ultimate extreme. Compared to the Gryphon Kodo, any so-called system, assembled from an assortment of unrelated products will inevitably fall short.
Gryphon Kodo offers highly desirable features such as remote adjustment of bass level from the listening position, low and high cut filters and a user-selectable bass system Q, an extremely important factor as matching system Q to the listening room’s own Q is the gateway to superior bass performance.
IN PERFECT PHASE
Like every loudspeaker ever made by Gryphon, the Gryphon Kodo incorporates specially developed Duelund Constant Phase technologies to ensure that all drivers are in phase at all frequencies at all times.
Based on the ground-breaking synchronous filter theories developed by the late Danish mathematician Steen Duelund, Gryphon loudspeakers achieve inter-driver phase, phase-matched behaviour between multiple drivers that no other manufacturer can claim.
When we say that our speakers are in perfect phase, we mean that the drivers maintain the same relative phase across all frequencies. This is one of the keys to achieving the best sound from any loudspeaker system.
