GOLDMUND MIMESIS 27.5 - Analog Preamplifier - 7
2
FIRST INSTALLATION & CONNECTIONS
2.1. POWER CONNECTION
Connect the power cord to the back of the preamplifier and plug it into the nearest wall
plug. Use only a 3 lugs grounded plug, for safety and noise reasons. To get the best sound
of the preamplifier, avoid any multiple plugs or an extension cord.
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 27.5 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.
