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.

No connection or manipulation must be
done before reading these instructions.
Damage of the amplifier may result if the
following instructions are not consciously
understood and applied.

This extremely high quality amplifier
possesses new technical features which are a
necessity for accurate sound reproduction in
the best audio systems.

Only careful installation and use can
provide the satisfaction you are expecting.

The installation instructions must be carried
out in full and the mentioned precautions
taken to get the expected result and to avoid
impairing the amplifier’s performance.

The GOLDMUND TELOS 400 amplifier, as all high quality amplifiers generates a large amount
of heat when driven at high levels and must be vented properly. It is mandatory to allow a
proper cooling of the heat sinks and vents.

If you use more than one TELOS 400 at any location, do not stack them and do not place
other equipment on or too close to them.

Due to its weight, and to maximize the effect of the built-in "Mechanical Grounding"
construction, the TELOS 400 is better located on the floor. Other very strong supports can be
used if they offer rigid transmission to the floor.
