3 - CHOICE OF THE PREAMPLIFIER LOCATION 

 
 

The Goldmund Mimesis 22 preamplifier generates a significant amount of heat. 
It is necessary to allow a proper cooling of the heat sinks. Avoid any location which is 
not properly ventilated and avoid to put on top any equipment sensitive to 
temperature. 
 
The MIMESIS 22 uses four adjustable conical feet. 
These are used to insure proper vibration transmission to the preamplifier support in 
order to evacuate all detrimental vibrations inside the unit, following the famous 
Goldmund "Mechanical Grounding" principle. 
Depending on the flatness of the surface where the preamplifier will be located, you 
will have to adjust slightly one or more of these feet. 
The two left feet being evacuating the transformer vibration, it is better to act (if 
possible) on the right feet and to leave the left feet fully screwed in. 
 
 
 

 

4 - LINE VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT 

 

 
A voltage selector is provided on the back plate of the preamplifier. Adjust it with a 
screwdriver if the line voltage provided is not appropriate. 
 
ATTENTION : On the 220V position, the Goldmund Mimesis 22  preamplifier 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 power cord 
receptacle. The lid can be removed with a small screwdriver when the cord is 
removed. 
Use a 1A slow-blow fuse for 220V and 110V.
