9 - SAFETY FEATURES 

 
 
The Goldmund Mimesis 22 preamplifier uses a special protection circuit to protect the 
power amplifier and the speakers against a power supply failure or an AC shut-down 
of the preamplifier. 
 
 
 
 
 

10 - MAINTENANCE 

 
 
The Goldmund Mimesis 22 preamplifier usually requires no maintenance. For the 
audio purists who want to keep their preamp sounding as new, we only recommend 
that after a year or two, you have a technician or an official Goldmund representative 
readjust the DC offset. This very simple operation takes only two minutes and will 
give you the safety of long years of unmatched sound quality. 
 
To clean your Mimesis use only a soft, slightly wet cloth. Always turn the power off 
before cleaning your preamplifier.
