CHOICE OF THE MIMESIS 16.8 LOCATION

Select a very rigid support, as required for your player transport.
The distance between the Mimesis 16.8 and the power amplifier is usually not critical since
the signal is carried in the digital domain. However, you must use coaxial links of highest
quality such as the Goldmund lineal in order to maintain the time accuracy and are highly
recommended, especially for long distances. For some high impedance output analog
sources, a short distance to the acoustic processor is mandatory.
If you want to achieve the best possible sonic result, select an opposition on a shelf or on a
piece of furniture where the acoustic processor is isolated from vibrations of mechanical
components, including the player transport itself.
The Goldmund Mimesis 16.8 acoustic processor generates a significant amount of heat. It is
necessary to allow adequate ventilation for proper cooling of the heat sinks. Avoid any
location that is not properly ventilated. Avoid stacking equipment and do not locate the
acoustic processor close to equipment that is sensitive to temperature.

POWER SUPPLY

The Goldmund Mimesis 16.8 uses multiple power supplies developed by Goldmund to
provide totally separate voltage to each part of the digital and analog circuitry.
Your power supply has been set to operate with the mains voltage of your area. Check on
the power supply voltage switch if there is any doubt. If you move after purchasing the
acoustic processor to an area using a different AC mains voltage, consult your local
Goldmund dealer for assistance.
The power supply unit tolerates both 50 & 60 Hz mains.
