5.1<br />

AMPLIFIERS CONTROLS<br />

On the front plate of the <strong>GOLDMUND</strong> GOLD CUBE are only<br />

accessible:<br />

The power key, used to power the amp on.<br />

When activated. the speaker is connected after a very short<br />

delay and the red LED switches on. The amp is powered off by<br />

switching off the power key. The red led will fade very slowly,<br />

indicating discharge of the filtering capacitors and the speaker<br />

will be disconnected after few seconds.<br />

5 .2 The two rail fuse sockets.<br />

Each rail fuse holder is protected by a golden lid. which can be<br />

removed using a coin. A red point LED, located near the fuse<br />

indicate that the fuse is burned when it glows.<br />

SOUND OUALITY OPTIM IZATION<br />

6 .1 Warm-up sonic effect.<br />

lf the power amplifier has not been powered off for a few days,<br />

theoptimum sound quality is only reached after 3Ominutes. This<br />

delay has been optimized to be minimal and the sonic quality<br />

when lust powered on is much higher than other quality power<br />

amplif iers.<br />

6 .2 Speaker polarity.<br />

Even if you have a phase inverter on your preamplif ier (as on the<br />

<strong>GOLDMUND</strong> MIMESIS 2 or MIMESIS 7). and even if you have<br />

carefully selected the proper line phase (see in next paragraph),<br />

there is a possibility to again increase the sonic quality of your<br />

speakers by reverting the polarity of the speaker cable amp<br />

termination. But since the line phase and the speaker polarity<br />

interfere to each other, you have to experiment carefully all the<br />

combinations before picking the right one.<br />

lf your preamp has an absolute phase inverter, this will interfere<br />

too. lf it has not, don'tforgetthe result willdepend of the source.<br />

most of the record and CD being recorded without care for the<br />

absolute phase. Be patient..<br />
