GOLDMUND METIS SPEAKER - 7
4 CONNECTING THE BUILT-IN AMPLIFIER
The Metis Speaker input is an unbalanced digital input (S/PDIF). The S/PDIF digital signal
presents two channels (Left and Right). By default the channel left is set from factory.
The active crossover is carried out inside the Metis Speaker. There is one Telos amplifier
for the tweeter and one Telos amplifier for the woofer.
The Metis Speaker can also be set to be used in full digital filtering. The filters are then
automatically digitally modeled in the acoustic processor (like in a Mimesis 15, 16, or 32)
and your system benefits from the Proteus technology that will bring more preciseness,
clarity, and space to the sound produced, please refer to your Goldmund official
representative in case you would like to change the default setting.
When used with a digital input signal, connect the digital cable to the digital input
connector. Since a digital Spdif cable carries 2 channels you may link the digital output to
the next speaker to transfer the second channel.
When the digital input does not receive any data for 3 seconds, the drivers are muted.
They are de-muted as soon as a signal is present on the digital input.
Mains power must not to be removed while the Metis speakers are not muted (please wait
3 seconds after the music stops before removing the mains power).
5 RUNNING IN AND MAINTENANCE
The Metis Speaker has been tested at the factory. However, as any high quality speaker
system, the Metis speaker needs several days playing music before reaching the top sonic
quality they are built for. The few first hours can be very frustrating for a demanding
listener.
Do not hesitate to let them play quite loud for some time before attempting any real system
tuning or position adjustment.
To clean the surface of the speaker, you may use a clean, soft, damp cloth. Dampen with
water or a mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive or harsh cleansers (e.g. products
containing sodium carbonate).
Note :
Only an official Goldmund technician is able to
change the factory setting, do not change it by
yourself.
A wrong setting can damage the speakers, the
warranty will not covered any factory changes
without the approval of an official Goldmund
