SETTING UP THE MIMESIS 24 UNIVERSAL PREAMPLIFIER

POWER SUPPLY

The Goldmund Mimesis 24 uses multiple power supplies developed by Goldmund to provide totally separate voltage to each part of the digital and analog circuitry.

Your power supply has been set to operate with the mains voltage of your area. Check on the power supply voltage switch if there is any doubt. If you move after purchasing the preamplifier to an area using a different AC mains voltage, you can change the voltage by yourself or consult your local Goldmund dealer for assistance.

The power supply unit tolerates both 50 & 60 Hz mains.

FIRST INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

POWER CONNECTION

Plug the AC power cord to the power supply and into a wall socket.

The Preamplifier is and remains on power as soon as the power switch located on the back panel is turned on. For best sonic results, Goldmund recommends to leave the unit powered on permanently.

The unit has a standby position that can be activated by pressing the front panel key marked “CTRL” first, then without releasing it, the “MUTE” key. A repetition of the same operation brings the unit back to normal functioning.

When the machine is in standby mode the front panel Led controls are off except the red STBY led, but the circuitry remains connected as long as the power supply switch is not turned off.

When turned ON by the back panel power switch, the unit performs a self test run by its internal software, then a software routine successively tests the modules inside the machine. If any abnormal functioning is detected, it is displayed on the front panel.
