INTRODUCTION
GOLDMUND TELOS 2500 Universal Power 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, 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.

2 CHOICE OF AMPLIFIER LOCATION AND
COOLING
The Goldmund Telos 2500 amplifier, as all high quality amplifiers, generates a large amount of
heat if driven at high level.
It is mandatory to allow a proper cooling of the heat sinks. Avoid any location which is not
properly vented and avoid to put on top of it equipment sensitive to temperature.
Due to its weight, and to maximize the effect of the built-in “Mechanical Grounding” construction, the Telos 2500 is better located on the floor. But other very strong supports can also be
used, if they offer a very rigid transmission with the floor.
The Telos 2500 is built on four very hard conical feet to insure proper vibration transmission
to the amplifier support in order to evacuate all detrimental vibrations inside the amplifier, following the famous Goldmund “Mechanical Grounding” principle.
Depending on the flatness of the surface where the amplifier will be located, you will choose
to screw in the four round flat feet of the amplifier to allow full contact of the points with the
support.
