PRELIMINARIES 

 

Please read the following instructions very carefully. This high-precision unit will provide the 
best  digital  signal  possible  to  your  digital-input  power  amplifiers  thanks  to  its  unique 
technology. 
 
For exacting technicians, musicians, and all high-fidelity music purists who demand the very 
best in musical reproduction, we strongly recommend the use of top quality power amplifiers 
with  a  digital  input,  since  most  of  the  digital  signal  performance  delivered  by  the  Mimesis 
32.5 acoustic processor can be eroded by using lower quality amplifiers or D/A converters. 
 
The connection between the analog and digital sources and the acoustic processor as well 
as  between  the  Mimesis  32.5  and  the  power  amplifiers  are  critical.  Ultra  low  reflection 
interconnect  cables  are  absolutely  mandatory  in  analog  and  precise  impedance  SPDIF 
cables in digital to keep the time integrity that the acoustic processor is designed to provide. 
In all typical cases Goldmund recommends using the special Goldmund Lineal interconnect 
and digital cables.
