GOLDMUND METIS 8 – 2-channel Acoustic Processor - 6

PROCESSOR LOCATION & COOLING
Select a very rigid support for your Goldmund Metis 8.
The distance between the Metis 8, the speaker, the amplifier and the active Metis speakers
is usually not critical since the signal is carried in the digital domain. However, you must
use the “Goldmund Lineal™” cable in order to maintain the time accuracy of the signal. For
some high impedance output analog sources, a short distance to the processor is
mandatory.
If you want to achieve the best possible sonic result, select a position on a shelf or on a
piece of furniture where the processor is isolated from vibrations of mechanical
components, such as the CD transport itself.
You must also be careful to locate your Metis 8 in a very well ventilated location. When
powered on, the Metis 8, as all high quality electronic equipment, generates a significant
amount of heat, which has to be evacuated by natural ventilation.

POWER SUPPLY
The Metis 8 uses multiple power supplies developed by Goldmund to provide totally
separate voltage to each part of the digital and analog circuitry.
The Metis 8 Acoustic Processor will function properly for main line voltages indicated page
13 (see rubric Power for more details).
The power supply unit tolerates both 50 & 60 Hz mains.
