COMPUTER CONFIGURATOR
The Mimesis 24 is so versatile that the configurations in which it can be used are limitless.
In order to set the unit to work in your own configuration, a Windows configurator is
available on our web site. The installer or dealer who is setting up the machine must
download this program in any Windows compatible machine and run it to describe the
environment in which the machine will be used. A serial cable (null-modem type) linking the
computer with the Mimesis 24 will be used to download the resulting configuration into the
Mimesis 24. The Configuration software is provided with a small "Readme" file which
explains its functions.
SOURCES CONNECTION
Connect the analogue sources or tape machines to the back panel analog inputs and the
digital sources to the digital inputs of the Goldmund Mimesis 24, using the RCA input
connectors for analog sources and the choice of RCA for SPDIF, XLR for AES-EBU or optical
for the digital sources.
The inputs are numbered on the back panel. The 2 tape outputs are separated.
The 2 first analog inputs (IN1 and IN2) are for 6 channel units like SACD players or DVD
Audio players.
Start connecting your favorite 2-channel analog sources from IN3 up to IN7.
Analog inputs have a level adjustment inside the machine, channel per channel. When the
machine cover is removed, this adjustment is accessible on the right side of the Printed
Boards by a combination of 2 switches per analog input channel.
For each one there are 3 possible levels:
(switch positioning is drawn on the right side of the Printed Board)
Left Switch Right Switch
Input level max: 1. 16V peak-peak left right
2. 7.5V peak-peak left left
3. 1.5V peak peak right any
In most cases, we recommend position 2.
In very high level DVD outputs you may have to switch to level 1.
Level 3 is only for very low level sources like some phono preamplifiers.
