2 - CHOICE OF PHONO PREAMPLIFIER LOCATION The GOLDMUND MIMESIS PH2 preamplifier does not generate a significant amount of heat. It is necessary to allow a proper cooling of the heat sinks. However, the performance of the phono preamplifier being direcly related to its thermal stability, avoid any location which is too ventilated and avoid to put it on top of any equipment generating heat.

- GAIN Level adjustment acting simultaneously on both channels for both the moving coil and the moving magnet sources. - BACK PANEL IMPEDANCE SWITCHES Situated above the preamplifier input connectors, six switches are provided to adjust individually the loading of each input and this separately for each channel. More, for the Moving magnet inputs, both resitive and capacitive load are provided.

6 - SOUND QUALITY OPTIMIZATION Warm-up sonic effect. If the GOLDMUND MIMESIS PH2 phono preamplifier has been left unpowered for a few days, the optimum sound quality is only reached after many hours. The critical circuits have to warm up to around +50 degrees Celsius (+120 degrees Fahrenheit) before achieving their optimal performances.
