CONNECTIONS & LINE VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENTS
Connect the power cord to the back of the preamplifier and plug it into the nearest wall
plug. For safety reasons, use only a 3 lugs grounded plug.
To get the best sound from the preamplifier, avoid any multi-way plugs or extension cords.
Connect a computer, CD/DVD or Blu-ray player to the back panel of the Goldmund Mimesis
27.8 preamplifier, using either the USB Audio (input 7), RCA Analog (inputs 1 to 4), RCA
Digital or Toslink Optical connector (inputs 5 to 7).
The Mimesis 27.8 driver will automatically be installed on your computer when its input
source is connected for the first time with the USB audio connector.
It will then
be identified as “Goldmund USB Audio” in all audio related software.
This installation is performed only at the first USB connection.
When the input source is connected, connect the analog output RCA connectors to the
power amplifier analog input using a high quality analog cable like the Goldmund
Interconnect
.
Only one connection per input can be used at once.
The automatic input selection has been set so the USB Audio connector has the priority
over the other input. To use the digital or optical input, turn off the computer to which the
USB input on disconnected or unplug the USB connection. The converter will then
automatically detect the RCA/Optical Toslink connection and will switch to it.
AT T E N T I O N:
A residual high frequency noise may remain audible in some circumstances if an analog
input is left open and is selected. This disturbance has no effect on the preamplifier but
may be avoided easily through the application of short-circuit plugs on all unused inputs.
OS compatible USB Audio Class 1.0
(i.e. Windows Vista/XP/2000, Mac OS
X, and Linux).
It supports up to 96 kHz /24 bits.
