2 – CHOICE OF AMPLIFIER LOCATION AND COOLING 
 
 
The GOLDMUND MIMESIS 29.4M amplifier, as all high quality amplifiers generates 
a large amount of heat if driven at high level 
It is mandatory to allow a proper cooling of the heat sinks. Avoid any location which 
is not properly vented and avoid to put on top of it equipment sensitive to 
temperature. 
 
Due to its weight, and to maximize the effect of the built-in "Mechanical Grounding" 
construction, the MIMESIS 29.4M is better located on the floor. But other very strong 
supports can also be used, if they offer a very rigid transmission with the floor. 
 
The MIMESIS 29.4M is built on four very hard conical feet to insure proper vibration 
transmission to the amplifier support in order to evacuate all detrimental vibrations 
inside the amplifier, following the famous GOLDMUND "Mechanical Grounding" 
principle. 
Depending on the flatness of the surface where the amplifier will be located, you will 
choose to screw in the four round flat feet of the amplifier to allow full contact of the 
points with the support.
