7 - SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Attention :
The MIMESIS SRM2.3 are extremely high speed amplifiers.
Any bad ground connection can generate high frequency oscillation which is dangerous for tweeters.
It is also generally dangerous to run input cable and speaker cables in parallel for a long distance. If
these cables are not of high quality or badly shielded, an “Antenna-Effect” can generate dangerous
high-frequency oscillations.
- Protection against DC.
The MIMESIS SRM2.3 is a DC-coupled amplifier. Without protection and if the associated preamplifier
is badly designed or defective (often true for tube preamps), the speakers could easily be damaged by
the amplified DC.
The SRM2.3 protects itself from such an accident by a feedback DC control that limits the DC
amplified by the circuit.
This protection circuit is totally transparent and has no sonic effect.
- Protection against short-circuits.
If one output is short-circuited by accident the amplifier is self-limiting its output so the current doesn’t
become too high.
However, such accident should be limited in time to avoid excessive heat-up to occur. In extreme
cases, such mishandling could destroy the amplifier, which is not covered by the warranty.
There is no risk to leave the speaker terminals unconnected when the amps are on.
8 - MAINTENANCE
The GOLDMUND MIMESIS SRM2.3 amplifier usually requires no maintenance. For the 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 damp. Always turn the power off before cleaning
your amplifier.
