INTRODUCTION 

 

GOLDMUND Mimesis 27.8 Preamplifier 

 

Goldmund was founded in 1978 and has ever since been dedicated to the accurate reproduction of 

sound and image. 

At  Goldmund,  we  strive  to  lead  in  the  creation,  development  and  manufacture  of  the  industry’s 

most advanced technologies, including audio and video systems. 

The guiding  principle  at  Goldmund  is  to  produce  a  precise  sound  with  the  latest  possible  loss  of 

quality through the different stages. Goldmund will never adopt a technology before it is sufficiently 

developed  to  satisfy  the  high quality  standards we  set. This  is  why  Goldmund  has  often rejected 

mainstream technologies and developed its own.
