COMPUTER CONFIGURATOR
The Mimesis 30 is so versatile that the configurations in which it can be used are limitless.
In order to set the unit to work in your own configuration, a Windows configurator is
available on our web site. The installer or dealer who is setting up the machine must
download this program in any Windows compatible machine and run it to describe the
environment in which the machine will be used. A serial cable (null-modem type) linking the
computer with the Mimesis 30 will be used to download the resulting configuration into the
Mimesis 30. The Configuration software is provided with a small "Readme" file which
explains its functions.
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 30, 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. The digital tape output is separated.
The first analog inputs (ANA IN1) are switchable for 2-channel or 6-channel input to connect
SACD players or DVD Audio players.
Connect your favorite 2-channel analog sources to ANA IN2 and ANA IN3 (corresponds to
key 5,6,7 on the front panel).
If you use analog tape machines, their analog output can be connected to any of the
available inputs. The Computer configurator of the Mimesis 30 will allow you to dedicate any
input to a tape machine and automatically avoid the input-output loop accordingly.
Digital inputs are numbered from DIG IN 1 to DIG IN 4 (corresponds to keys 1 to 4 on front
panel). Digital tape machines may be connected to one or more specific output zones as
defined in the Computer Configurator.
The DIG IN 1, DIG IN 2 and DIG IN 3 digital inputs offer two different connector standards.
Only one must be used per input, but both work equally well.
