GOLDMUND MIMESIS 27.5 - Analog Preamplifier - 8
3
FRONT & BACK PANELS FUNCTIONS
POWER
On the back panel of the Goldmund Mimesis 27.5 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.
The preamp can be powered off by switching the switch to the OFF position. A special
safety circuit switches the preamp to muting, to avoid any disturbance to reach the power
amplifier and the speakers, even if the preamplifier is disconnected from the AC plug by
accident.
However, to optimize the sound quality of the preamplifier and insure the best reliability,
Goldmund recommends that the unit is left powered ON.
MUTING
Muting is controlled from the remote control. It can be used to temporarily turn the volume
down without touching the volume control. When returned to normal, the level of the
preamplifier is returned to where it was when the muting was activated.
VOLUME
May be adjusted manually by turning the volume control or on the remote by or
-.
SELECTOR
Selects one of the available input for listening (8 if D/A option is enabled, 5 if not), including
the one tape inputs for monitoring. A step clockwise is selecting the next input; a step
counterclockwise selects the previous input. A display on the front panel shows the number
of the input selected. Selection may be also made on the remote by pressing the key
corresponding to the input on the Analog section of the remote.
RECORD
Record is factory set. Tape in is always input 5. If input 5 is selected, tape out is
disconnected. Otherwise, tape out is connected to the selected input. E.g. input 3 is
selected, so tape out receive signal from input 3.
