User manual – Goldmund MIMESIS 27.3 – Analogue Preamplifier - 7 -
If the preamplifier is the logical center of your system and you use a star grounding
configuration, you may have to use the earth connection of the AC plug and lift the
earth connection of the other equipment. In such a case, connect together the earth
(yellow/green).
If you have to update the software, you will use the DB9 terminated cable provided
with this option to connect the Mimesis 27.3 to a computer serial output and follow
the instructions delivered with the software. This connector has to be left open in all
the other situations.
2.2. SOURCES CONNECTION
Connect the interconnects between the preamp analog outputs and the power amp.
You will plug the cables to the RCA female sockets noted outputs.
Connect the interconnects from the analogue source devices to the line inputs
number 1 to 5. With the D/A option connect the lineal cables from the digital sources
to the inputs number 6 to 8.
Note
: a residual High Frequency noise may remain audible in some circumstances
when an input is left open and is selected. This disturbance has no effect on the
preamplifier but may be avoided easily by short-circuiting plugs applied to all the
unused inputs.
Connect the tape machines to input 5 and to the Tape output RCA plugs.

FRONT AND BACK PANELS FUNCTIONS
- Power:
On the back panel of the Goldmund Mimesis 27.3 preamplifier the switch is used to
power on the preamplifier. In regular use, this switch is left ON and the circuits of the
preamplifier are left ON. The standby function of the remote control is only shorting
the output to ground for safe removal of the cables to the power amplifier.
