GOLDMUND METIS 2 - Analog Preamplifier - 8 

FRONT & BACK PANELS FUNCTIONS

 

 

 

POWER 

On the back panel of the Goldmund Metis 2 preamplifier the switch is used to power the 
preamplifier on. In regular use, this switch is left ON and the circuits of the preamplifier are 
left ON. The muting function of the remote control is only shorting the output to ground for 
safe removal of the cables to the power amplifier.  
 
The preamp can be powered off by switching the switch to the OFF position.  
However, to optimize the sound quality of the preamplifier and insure the best reliability, 
Goldmund recommends that the unit is left powered ON. 

 

MUTING 

Muting is controlled from the remote control. It can be used to temporarily turn the volume 
down without touching the volume control. When returned to normal, the level of the 
preamplifier is returned to where it was when the muting was activated.  
 

VOLUME 

May be adjusted manually by turning the volume control or on the remote by  or 
-. 

 
SELECTOR 

Selects one of the available inputs for listening. A step clockwise is selecting the next input; 
a step counterclockwise selects the previous input. A display on the front panel shows the 
number of the input selected. Selection may be also made on the remote by pressing the 
key corresponding to the input on the Analog section of the remote.
