The ongoing adventure of exploration and re-invention that has defined the exceptional Gryphon loudspeaker range continues with the Gryphon Trident.  Like its acclaimed predecessors, the Gryphon Cantata and Poseidon, the Gryphon Trident
is based on rare insight into the true needs of the music enthusiast,

Gryphon founder Flemming E. Rasmussen elaborates, “It began with the Cantata, the first stand-mounted, compact two-way design to deliver High End realism in small to average sized rooms.  Then, the audiophile community demanded to hear what we could do if there were no constraints on size and price.  Our answer was the Gryphon Poseidon, a four-tower system that occupies a considerable piece of domestic real estate.  That generated requests for a single-enclosure, full-range system that could perform to the same high standards in somewhat smaller rooms.”

Living up to the high standards that set Gryphon loudspeakers in a class all their own, the GryphonTrident achieves the theoretical ideal of
all drivers operating in phase at all times at all frequencies.

This monumental achievement involves a unique configuration of dedicated onboard 500 Watt bass power amplifiers in conjunction with 7 extensively modified Danish drive units per speaker (four 8” woofers, two 5” midrange units, one Scan Speak Revelator ring radiator high frequency drive unit), hand-adjusted Constant Phase crossovers, proprietary Q Control room integration and a non-resonant enclosure weighing in at 195 kg per channel with a carefully calculated time- aligned front baffle curvature.

The musical importance of this achievement is immediately appreciated, as it effectively prevents any veiling or smearing in the temporal domain, allowing the Gryphon Trident to re-create the original acoustic event with laser-sharp clarity, alacrity and precision.

Open-ended finish options

Trident side panels incorporate Gryphon SideSpin, an innovative modular construction that makes removing and replacing them child’s play, offering the Trident owner the option of re-dressing and updating the exterior of the loudspeakers at any time. This also opens up the possibility of having multiple panels on hand to match changing moods.

Gryphon SideSpin, a service unique among loudspeaker manufacturers offered exclusively to owners of Gryphon Poseidon, Trident and Cantata, is yet another example of how things are done differently at Gryphon Audio Designs.
