1. PRELIMINARIES 

 
 
Please read very carefully the following instructions. This high-precision preamplifier 
will provide the best analog signal possible thanks to its unique circuitry. 
 
For exacting technicians, musicians, and all amateurs who demand the very best in 
recording transcription, we strongly recommend the use of a top quality D/A 
converter to decode the today’s high definition digital signals. 
For a perfect Analogue and Digital source system, Goldmund recommends to link the 
Mimesis 22 with the Goldmund Mimesis 20 top D/A converter. 
 
The connections between the analogue sources and the preamplifier are also critical. 
Ultra low reflection cables are absolutely mandatory. In all typical cases Goldmund 
recommends using the special Goldmund Interconnect cables. 
 

Note :  

The Goldmund Mimesis 22 is available on option with a Digital output to be linked 
with the Mimesis 20. With this option, the Mimesis 22 may record an analogue 
source to a digital tape recorder, CD recordable or DVD recordable unit. If you have 
this option built in your Mimesis 22, please refer to its separate instructions delivered 
with the option to find how to use it.
