GOLDMUND METIS 2 - Analog Preamplifier - 7 

FIRST INSTALLATION & CONNECTIONS 

 
 

2.1.   POWER CONNECTION 

 
Connect the power cord to the back of the preamplifier and plug it into the nearest wall 
plug. Use only a 3 lugs grounded plug, for safety and noise reasons. To get the best sound 
of the preamplifier, avoid any multiple plugs or an extension cords. 
 
If the preamplifier is the logical center of your system and you use a star grounding 
configuration, you may have to use the earth connection of the AC plug and lift the earth 
connection of the other equipment.  
 
 

2.2.   SOURCES CONNECTION 

 
Connect the interconnects between the preamplifier analog outputs and the power amp. 
You will plug the cables to the RCA female sockets noted outputs. 
Connect the interconnects from the analog source devices to the line inputs number 1 to 5.  
 
 

Note

: a residual High Frequency noise may remain audible in some circumstances when 

an input is left open and is selected. This disturbance has no effect on the preamplifier but 
may be avoided easily by short-circuiting plugs applied to all the unused inputs.
