2 – CHOICE OF AMPLIFIER LOCATION AND COOLING 

 
 
The GOLDMUND MIMESIS 18.4 amplifier, as all high quality amplifiers generates a 
quite large amount of heat. 
It is mandatory to allow a proper cooling of the heat sinks. Avoid any location which is 
not properly vented and avoid to put on top of it equipment sensitive to temperature. 
 
Due to its weight, and to maximize the effect of the built-in "Mechanical Grounding" 
construction, the MIMESIS 18.4 is better located on the floor. But other very strong 
supports can also be used, if they offer a very rigid transmission with the floor. 
 

 
 
3 – LINE VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT 

 
 
A voltage selection is provided inside the amplifier, accessible by an opening plate in 
the bottom of the amplifier. 
If your line voltage is not adapted to the voltage indicated on the serial plate of the 
amplifier, please consult your local GOLDMUND dealer for internal adjustment. 
 
ATTENTION : On the 220V position, the GOLDMUND MIMESIS 18.4 amplifier will 
function properly for main line voltage in between 200V and 240V. On the 110V 
position, the main line must deliver between 105 and 125V. If your main line is 
usually out of these tolerances, please consult your GOLDMUND dealer. 
 
Please check the value of the main line fuse. This fuse is located on the back panel 
of the amplifier, above the two power cord receptacles. 
Use a 5A delayed fuse for 220V and a 8A delayed fuse for 110V.
