Overview

From the mind of Gryphon’s founder and designer Flemming E. Rasmusssen, Mirage offers a host of tried-and-true audio design standards, to strive for endgame preamplifier status. From the initial set-up ("How do I connect the control unit to the main chassis?"), it's obvious no expense has been spared. 

Built upon a double-sided military spec printed circuit board, and using the highest quality componentry including Holmgren toroidal transformers, Gold-plated PCB-mounted Swiss Neutric XLR sockets and Vishay Bulk Metal Foil ultra-precision resistors, Mirage is unlikely to end up bottlenecking your signal flow while providing Gryphon's beloved black-as-night signature sound profile.
