No connection or manipulation must be  
done before reading those instructions.  
Damage of the amplifier may result if the  
following instructions are not consciously  
understood and applied.  
This high quality amplifier possesses new  
technical features such as ultra-high band  
width and computer linking which are a  
necessity for accurate transcription of analog  
messages for todays best complete systems.  
Only careful installation and use can  
provide the satisfaction you are expecting.  
The installation instructions must be carried  
out in full and the mentioned precautions  
taken to get the expected result and to avoid  
impairing the amplifier’s performance.

WARNING  
IF YOU NEED TO RETURN THE MIMESIS 330 TO THE FACTORY OR TO YOUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE  
FOR A WARRANTY REPAIR, PLEASE NOTE THAT IT MUST BE REPACKED IN THE ORIGINAL  
PACKAGING.  
THIS PACKAGING HAS BEEN DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO PROTECT YOUR MIMESIS 330 IN TRANSIT.  
USE OF ALTERNATIVE PACKAGING IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN DAMAGE, INVALIDATING WARRANTY  
COVER.  
CHOICE OF AMPLIFIER LOCATION AND COOLING  
The GOLDMUND MIMESIS 330 amplifier, as all high quality amplifiers generates a large  
amount of heat when driven at high levels and must be vented properly. It is mandatory to  
allow a proper cooling of the heat sinks. Do not put temperature sensitive equipment on top  
of the amplifier.

LINE VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT  
3
A voltage selector is provided on the backplate of the amplifier.  
If your line voltage is not adapted to the voltage indicated on the serial plate of the amplifier,  
please consult your local GOLDMUND dealer for internal adjustment.  
ATTENTION  
On the 220V position, the GOLDMUND mimesis 330 amplifier will function properly for main  
line voltage between 190V and 245V. On the 110V position, the main line must deliver  
between 95 and 125V. If your main line is usually out of these tolerances, please consult your  
GOLDMUND dealer.  
Please check the value of the main line fuse. This fuse is located on the back panel of the  
amplifier, above the two power cord receptacles.  
Use a 5A delayed fuse for 220V and an 8A delayed fuse for 110V.

CONNECTIONS  
4
Connect the power cord to the back of the amplifier and plug it into the nearest wall plug.  
Use only a 3 lugs grounded plug, for safety reasons. To get the best sound from the ampli-  
fier, avoid any multiple plug or extension cord.  
Connect the speaker cables to the 5-way binding posts on the back panel.  
Connect the interconnects from the analog source devices to the line inputs numbered 1  
to 5.  
For the D/A option, connect the interconnects from the analog source devices to the line  
inputs numbered 6 to 8.  
ATTENTION  
A residual High Frequency noise may remain audible in some circumstances if an input is left  
open and is selected. This disturbance has no effect on the Amplifier but may be easily  
avoided with the application of short-circuiting plugs on all unused inputs.

AMPLIFIER CONTROLS

Manual Operation  
On the front plate of the GOLDMUND MIMESIS 330 amplifier you will find only two POWER  
keys.  
In the Manual Operation mode, the two POWER keys have to be activated simultaneously  
to power the amp on.  
This security feature is provided to avoid accidental POWER ON or POWER OFF.  
When the two keys are pressed simultaneously, the amp switches on in "Operating" mode  
and the center green Led lights on showing the amp is POWERED ON.  
If the digital input is used, the yellow Led may flicker, showing there is no lock and the amp  
remains muted until a lock is found.  
With an analog input, the amp is immediately operational.  
By pressing the right key once, the amplifier is put in Mute mode, and the green Led flickers.  
By pressing the right key once again, the amplifier returns to "Operating" state.  
The amp may be POWERED OFF by pressing the two POWER keys simultaneously at any  
time.

AMPLIFIER CONTROLS

POWER  
The MIMESIS 330 Analog Integrated Amplifier is powered on using the switch located on the  
back panel. In regular use this switch should be left ON at all times (See Sound Quality  
Optimization). The standby function of the remote control should be used to mute the signal  
for the safe removal of cabbles.  
The Amplifier is powered OFF by switching the back panel switch to the OFF position. A  
saftey circuit switches the unit to mute to avoid any diusturbance reaching the speakers.  
MUTING  
Muting is controlled using the remote control. It can be used to turn the volume down  
temporarily without touching or changing the volume control. When returned to normal, the  
volume is returned to its level at the point the muting was activated.  
VOLUME  
Volume may be adjusted manually by turning the volume control knob, or by using the  
VOLUME + or - on the remote control.  
SELECTOR  
Selects one of the eight (if the D/A option is selected, five if not) available inputs for listening.  
One step clockwise selects the next input. Selection may also be made using the remote by  
pressing the key corresponding to the input on the Analog section of the remote.  
OPENING VOLUME MEMORY  
This function is only accessible via the remote control. It allows the volume to be  
automatically set to the level fixed when the unit is turned ON.  
To adjust the level, first play at the desired output level, then press MEMO on the remote.  
If at any time during playback you wish to return to this level, just press the RESET button.

SOUND QUALITY OPTIMIZATION

7
Warm-up Sonic Effect  
If the amplifier has been powered OFF for some time, the optimum sound quality is only  
reached after some time. It may take 15 minutes for the amplifier to reach optimum  
operating temparature, as the circuits have to warm up to around +55 degrees Celsius (=131  
degress Farenheit).  
MAINTENANCE  
The GOLDMUND MIMESIS 330 amplifier usually requires no maintenance.  
Always turn the power OFF before cleaning your amplifier. Use a clean, soft, damp cloth to  
clean the amplifier surface. Dampen the cloth with water or a mild detergent solution.  
Avoid abrasive or harsh cleansers (eg. products containing sodium carbonate).
