SETTING UP THE MIMESIS 27.3
1.2.
CHOICE OF THE PREAMPLIFIER LOCATION
The Goldmund Mimesis 27.3 preamplifier generates a significant amount of heat.
It is necessary to allow a proper cooling of the heat sinks. Avoid any location which is
not properly ventilated and avoid putting any equipment that is sensitive to
temperature on top.
1.3. LINE VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
A voltage selector is provided on the back plate of the preamplifier. Adjust it with a
screwdriver if the line voltage provided is not appropriate.
ATTENTION: On the 220V position, the Goldmund Mimesis 27.3 preamplifier will
function properly for main line voltage in between 200V and 240V. On the 110V
position, the main line must deliver between 105 and 125V. If your main line is
usually out of these tolerances, please consult your Goldmund dealer.
Please check the value of the main line fuse. This fuse is located on the power cord
receptacle. The lid can be removed with a small screwdriver when the cord is
removed.
Use a 500mA slow-blow fuse for 220V and 110V.

FIRST INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
2.1. POWER CONNECTION
Connect the power cord to the back of the preamplifier and plug it into the nearest
wall plug. Use only a 3 lugs grounded plug, for safety and noise reasons. To get the
best sound of the preamplifier, avoid any multiple plugs or an extension cord.
