FIRST INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
POWER CONNECTION
Plug the AC power cord to the power supply and into a wall socket.
The preamplifier is and remains on power as soon as the power switch located on the back
panel is turned on. For best sonic results, Goldmund recommends to leave the unit
powered on permanently.
When the machine is in standby mode, the front panel Led controls are off except the red
STBY Led, but the circuitry remains connected as long as the power supply switch is not
turned off. The Standby is controlled by the remote.
SOURCES CONNECTION
Connect the analog sources or tape machines to the back panel analog inputs and the
digital sources to the digital inputs of the Goldmund Mimesis 16, using the RCA input
connectors for analog sources and the choice of RCA for SPDIF, XLR for AES-EBU or
optical for the digital sources.
The inputs are numbered on the back panel.
Digital inputs are numbered from 1 to 8. Digital input 3 and 4 offer two different connector
standards. Only one must be used per input, both work equally well.
Digital input 7 and 8 are reserved for HDMI connection available on the Mimesis 16HD
only.
