GOLDMUND Metis

Analog Integrated Amplifier

Thank you for purchasing the Goldmund METIS 5 Analog Integrated Amplifier. The Goldmund

Metis line amplifiers fully incorporate the technological expertise developed by our company

throughout many years. Please take some time to read this manual. It will provide you with useful

information to make your pleasure of listening to the Metis 5 even higher.

INTRODUCTION

GOLDMUND METIS 5 Analog Integrated Amplifier

Goldmund was founded in 1978 and has ever since been dedicated to the accurate reproduction of

sound and image.

At Goldmund, we strive to lead in the creation, development and manufacture of the industry’s

most advanced technologies, including audio and video systems.

The guiding principle at Goldmund is to produce a precise sound with the least possible loss of

quality through the different stages. Goldmund will never adopt a technology before it is sufficiently

developed to satisfy the high quality standards we set. This is why Goldmund has often rejected

mainstream technologies and developed its own.

W A R N I N G !

This high quality amplifier possesses new

technical features such as ultra-high band

width and computer linking which are

necessary for accurate transcription within

today’s best audio systems.

Only careful use can provide all the

satisfaction you are expecting.

All handling must be performed according to

the following instructions to avoid impairing the

amplifier’s performance.

Nevertheless, if the instructions are perfectly

carried out, you will notice that the use of the

GOLDMUND METIS 5 is quite simple and

convenient.

IMPORTANT

PLEASE DO NOT CONNECT ANY CABLES

OR MOVE ANY PARTS BEFORE READING

You will find within the custom

packaging:

- The Metis 5

amplifier,

- The remote control & batteries (to be fitted before use),

- The power

cord,

- This owner's

manual.

Unpack the above-mentioned parts carefully.

AMPLIFIER LOCATION & COOLING

OOLINGOOLING

OOLING

The Metis 5 amplifier, like all high quality amplifiers, generates a lot of heat when driven at

high levels and therefore must be vented properly.

It is mandatory to allow proper cooling of the heat sinks.

Do not put temperature sensitive equipment on top of the amplifier.

CONNECTIONS & LINE VOLTAGE

CONNECTIONS & LINE VOLTAGECONNECTIONS & LINE VOLTAGE

CONNECTIONS & LINE VOLTAGE

Connect the power cord to the back of the amplifier and plug it into the nearest wall plug.

For safety reasons, use only a 3 lugs grounded plug.

To get the best sound from the amplifier, avoid any multi-way plugs or extension cords.

•

Connect the speaker cables to the binding posts on the rear panel.

•

Connect the interconnects from any analog sources to line inputs 1 to 5.

AT T E N T I O

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

avoided easily through the application of short-circuit plugs on all unused inputs.

The Goldmund Metis 5 integrated amplifier is preset at the factory for your country's

voltage. It functions with AC voltages between either, 200V and 245V, or, 95V and 125V.

If your AC line is usually out of these tolerances, please consult your local Goldmund

dealer.

Please check the value of the mains line fuse. This fuse is located in the power cord

receptacle. The lid can be removed with a small screwdriver when the cord is removed.

Use a 5A slow-blow

fuse.

The METIS 5 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 safe removal of cables. When in standby mode the front panel operation LED will stay

lit.

The amplifier is powered OFF by switching the back panel switch to the OFF position. A

safety circuit switches the unit to mute to avoid any disturbance reaching the speakers.

MUMU

MUT

To mute the preamplifier output, press the "MUTE" key. The same operation repeated

brings back the amplifier to normal operation at the same volume as in operation at the

point the mute function was activated.

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 temperature, as

the circuits have to warm up to around +55 degrees Celsius

(=131degrees Fahrenheit).

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANINGMAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The Metis 5 amplifier usually requires no maintenance. Please contact

your Goldmund approved dealer if any maintenance should be required.

Always turn the power OFF before

cleaning your amplifier.

To clean the external metal of the amplifier, always use a clean, soft,

damp cloth. Dampen it with water or a mild detergent solution. Avoid

abrasive or harsh cleansers (e.g. products containing sodium carbonate).

The identification plates are plated with precious metal. Simply clean

them with a soft cloth, without any chemical solution.
