INTRODUCTION

GOLDMUND NANO METIS WIRELESS – Active Speaker

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, home-networking and music distribution.

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.

1 PRELIMINARIES

The Goldmund Nano Metis Wireless uses some very innovative technology to achieve a level of

definition and neutrality never found before in a speaker system.

Please read very carefully the following instructions. These high-precision speakers are extremely

revealing and can provide the best sound only if they are used properly.

2 UNPACKING

The Nano Metis Wireless are small speakers and do not require more than one person to unbox. The

speakers are small and fragile so a lot of care is needed while handling.

Open the box and remove the speakers. Unpack the speakers close to the location where they will be

standing.

You will find in the Nano Metis speaker box:

- The speakers

- The USB dongle

- The speakers antenna

- The power cords

- This manual

ATTENTION

If you need to return the speakers to the factory or to your local representative for a warranty repair,

please note that they must be repacked in their original packing. This packaging has been designed

specifically to protect the Nano Metis Wireless in transit. Use of alternative packaging is likely to

result in damage, invalidating warranty cover.

3 SELECTING THE SPEAKER LOCATION

To achieve optimal performance, please observe the following points:

• The Nano Metis Wireless and the USB dongle should be placed in the same room.

• There should be no metallic obstacles between the USB dongle and the Nano Metis Wireless,

which could influence the wireless link.

• The computer with the USB dongle should not be moved around during playback.

Wireless audio link range:

The range of the wireless audio link depends on several factors, such as the amount of WiFi

equipment used in proximity of the Nano Metis Wireless, as well as the building materials and the

architecture of the room.

Depending on the above mentioned factors, the maximum range will normally be from 5 to 20 meters.

4 CONNECTING THE NANO METIS

To use the Nano Metis follow these steps:

• Position the left and right speakers according to the labels indicating the channel located on

each speaker. The speaker with the label L should be on the left and the one with the label R

on the right.

• Screw the speaker antenna contained in the box to each speakers rear panel.

• Connect the speakers to a mains outlet using the power cords contained in the box.

• Connect the USB dongle to a USB port on your computer.

• In your computer’s audio settings, select the USB dongle as the audio output.

The system is now set up and ready to be used. The volume is set directly on the computer.

ATTENTION

Due to the high gain of the Nano Metis

Wireless speaker, please make sure

that the media player is set to a low

output level, before connecting the

dongle to the computer.

4 CONNECTING THE NANO METIS (Ctd.)

The Nano Metis and the associated USB Goldmund dongle are delivered prepaired from the factory.

This means that your speakers can only function with the dongle that was paired with it. However, if

you would like to do a re-pairing of the speaker with the dongle for any reason, please follow these

steps:

- Connect the USB dongle to your computer or the Wireless Transmitter to your acoustic

processor.

- Insert a small screwdriver into the pairing hole located on the back panel of your speaker, just

below the input locking led.

- Gently press the internal pairing button using the screwdriver.

- As soon as the pairing is done, the led locking led will light up.

- The pairing is done.

In case you lose your dongle, you can order another one from your distributor who will also pair it to

your speakers.

5 RUNNING-IN

The Nano Metis need many days playing music before providing the top sonic quality they are built to

provide.

The few first hours can be somehow 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.

6 CLEANING

To clean the metal case of the speaker, you can use a wet cloth. Always use a very soft cloth to avoid

scratching the surface. The Goldmund plate on the top panel is gold plated. Simply clean it with a soft

cloth, without any chemical solution.
