Ultra low reflection interconnect cables are absolutely mandatory to retain the time integrity that the preamplifier is designed to provide. In all typical cases Goldmund recommends using the special Goldmund Lineal interconnect cables. - Page 6 SETTING UP THE MIMESIS 22H (Ctd.) CHOICE OF PREAMPLIFIER LOCATION The Goldmund MIMESIS 22H preamplifier generates a significant amount of heat. It is necessary to allow adequate ventilation for proper cooling of the heat sinks. Avoid any location which is not properly ventilated. Avoid stacking equipment and do not locate the preamplifier close to equipment that is sensitive to temperature.
- Page 7 Warning! If the line voltage provided is not appropriate as supplied, please consult your dealer. ATTENTION: At the 220V position, the Goldmund MIMESIS 22H preamplifier will function properly for main line voltages between 200V and 240V. At the 110V position, the main line must deliver between 105 and 125V.
- Page 8 Do not use the direct input labeled “SSP Input” if you are not using a linked configuration with a Goldmund Mimesis 20. If your configuration includes the special software modules which allow the connection of several units together, use the DB9 terminated cable provided with this option to connect the MIMESIS 22H to these units and follow the instructions delivered with the software.
