1 SETTING UP THE MIMESIS 20.7
1.2 CHOICE OF D/A CONVERTER LOCATION AND COOLING
Select a very rigid support for your CD/DVD player.
Position the player as far away as possible from the speakers if you want to totally avoid
the air coupling between the speakers and the CD/DVD player.
The distance between the CD/DVD transport and the Mimesis 20.7 is usually not critical.
However, if you use a coaxial cable link, and the CD/DVD transport is not perfectly
matched to the SPDIF interface specifications, a short distance is mandatory.
If you want to achieve the best possible sonic result, select a position on a shelf or on a
piece of furniture where the converter is isolated from vibrations of mechanical
components, like the CD/DVD transport itself.
If you use 2 Mimesis 20.7 in a 2-channel system, do not stack them.
You must also be careful to locate your Mimesis 20.7 in a very well ventilated location.
When powered on, the Mimesis 20.7, as all high quality electronic equipment, generates a
significant amount of heat which has to be evacuated by natural ventilation.
For the same reason, it is perfectly normal that, after few hours of operation, your Mimesis
20.7 gets quite hot.
1.3. POWER SUPPLY
The Goldmund Mimesis 20.7 D/A converter uses a power supply developed by Goldmund
to provide totally separate voltage to each part of the digital and analog circuitry.
Your power supply unit 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
D/A converter to an area using a different AC mains voltage, you can change the voltage
by yourself or consult your local Goldmund dealer for assistance.
