PREAMPLIFIER CONTROLS (Ctd.) 

 
OPENING VOLUME MEMORY 

This function is only accessible via the remote control. It allows the volume to be 
automatically set to the level fixed when the unit is turned ON. 
To adjust the level, first select the desired output level, and then press MEMO on the 
remote control. 
If at any time during playback you wish to return to this level, just press the RESET button. 
 

SERIAL PORT  

The Mimesis 27.8 preamplifier can be controlled via a standard computer serial port, please 
contact your Goldmund representative for more details.  

 

5    SOUND QUALITY OPTIMIZATION 

 

WARM UP SONIC EFFECT 

If the preamplifier has been powered off for some time, the optimum sound quality is only 
reached after some time. It may take 15 minutes for the preamplifier to reach optimum 
operating temperature, as the circuits have to warm up to 55 degrees Celsius 
(=131degrees Fahrenheit). 

 

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING 

 

The Mimesis 27.8 preamplifier usually requires no maintenance. Please contact your 
Goldmund approved dealer if any maintenance should be required. 
 
Always turn the power OFF before cleaning your preamplifier. 
 
To clean the external metal of the preamplifier, always use a clean, soft, damp cloth. 
Dampen it with water or a mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive or harsh cleansers (e.g. 
products containing sodium carbonate). 
 
The identification plate is plated with precious metal. Simply clean it with a soft cloth, 
without any chemical solution.
