Never plug an input cable on a power amp when it is turned on.
•
Be careful to use only very high quality interconnects. If the ground connection
become loose, there is a big danger of oscillation. Warranty is voided if this
occurs.
•
Never run the input and output (speaker) cables parallel.
If an oscillation of too high level is detected, the amplifier will be turned off
automatically. You will have to suppress the source of oscillation and turn it ON again
if the protection is activated.
- Overheating protection.
If for any reason (malfunction, too high level, too low load impedance) the
temperature of the amplifier may reach a dangerous level and the MIMESIS 29.4
could be damaged.
To avoid this type of damage, if the temperature rises too high, a protection circuit
switches the amp off automatically. A red front panel light indicates that the amplifier
has been turned off by the protection circuit.
If such a protection occurs, let the amplifier cool for some time. It is strongly
recommended to try to detect why the temperature has reached such a level before
operating the amp again.
- Protection against short-circuits.
If one output is short-circuited by accident and the current becomes too high, the AC
fuse may blow.
To replace the defective fuse, switch the amplifier off first. Then open the small
drawer located on the AC cord receptacle. The fuses are located inside. Change the
defective fuse.
Then switch the power on if the short-circuit has been detected and removed.
To avoid the fuses to blow, avoid to short-circuit the output terminals accidentally.
Always switch OFF the amp before trying any manipulation of the speaker cables.
There is no risk to leave the speaker terminals unconnected when the amp is on.
8 - MAINTENANCE
The GOLDMUND MIMESIS 29.4 amplifier usually requires no maintenance. For
audio purists who want to keep their amp sounding as new, we only recommend that
after a year or two, you have a technician or an official GOLDMUND representative
readjust the DC offset. This very simple operation takes only two minutes and will
give you the safety of long years of unmatched sound quality.
To clean your MIMESIS use only a soft cloth slightly wet. Always turn the power off
before cleaning your amplifier.
