SETTING UP THE MIMESIS 16.8

1.1

PRELIMINARIES

Please read the following instructions very carefully. This high-precision unit will provide the
best digital signal possible to your digital-input power amplifiers thanks to its unique
technology.
For exacting technicians, musicians, and all high-fidelity music purists who demand the very
best in musical reproduction, we strongly recommend the use of top quality power amplifiers
with a digital input, since most of the digital signal performance delivered by the Mimesis
16.8 acoustic processor can be eroded by using lower quality amplifiers or D/A converters.
The connection between the analog and digital sources and the acoustic processor as well
as between the Mimesis 16.8 and the power amplifiers are critical. Ultra low reflection
interconnect cables are absolutely mandatory in analog and precise impedance SPDIF
cables in digital to keep the time integrity that the acoustic processor is designed to provide.
In all typical cases Goldmund recommends using the special Goldmund Lineal interconnect
and digital cables.
