Ultra low reflection interconnect cables are absolutely mandatory in analog and precise impedance SPDIF cables in digital, to keep the time integrity that the best systems may provide. Goldmund recommends using the digital “Goldmund Lineal™” cable. Cables in special lengths can also be ordered from your retailer. -
Page 6: Processor Location & Cooling
The distance between the Mimesis 15, the speaker and the amplifier is usually not critical since the signal is carried in the digital domain. However, you must use digital “Goldmund Lineal™” cables in order to maintain the time accuracy of the signal. For some high impedance output analog sources, a short distance to the processor is mandatory. -
Page 7: First Installation & Connections
Plug the AC power cord to the power supply and into a wall socket. The processor is and remains on power as soon as the power switch located on the back panel is turned ON. For best sonic results, Goldmund recommends leaving the unit powered ON permanently. - Page 8 A standard configuration is available from the Goldmund Universal Configurator with corresponding speakers. Please contact your authorized Goldmund retailer to assist you to set up your unit. Note: The distances between listening point and all speakers systems (speaker and subwoofer) have to be identical.
- Page 9 The Input 10 (USB) is used to link the Mimesis 15 to an external computer in order to play music (PCM 48kHz maximum) and to update the Mimesis 15 software with the Goldmund Universal Configurator. All drivers needed are included in the configuration file provided in the Configurator.

Page 10: Home Theater Configuration
The Mimesis 15 can be used as a 2-channel preamplifier and as a powerful home theater processor. It can benefit from the Proteus technologies developed for the Goldmund Media Room. This gives the Mimesis 15 the possibility to use numerous filter configurations adapted to the set up of each room as well as the capability to better pan speakers in a multi-channel system. -

To clean the metal of the processor, always use a very soft, clean, damp cloth to avoid scratching the surface. Dampen with water or a mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive or harsh cleansers (e.g. products containing sodium carbonate). GOLDMUND MIMESIS 15 – Acoustic Processor - 11... -
