INTRODU TION

GOLDMUND TELOS 350 – 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.

No connection or manipulation must be done

before reading these instructions. Damage to

the amplifier may result if the following

instructions are not consciously understood

and applied.

These extremely high quality amplifiers

possess 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.

2 AMPLIFIER LO ATION & OOLING

The GOLDMUND TELOS 350 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. Do not put temperature sensitive equipment on top

of the amplifier.

Due to its weight, and to maximize the effect of the built-in "Mechanical Grounding"

construction, the TELOS 350 can be located on the floor or on other very strong supports if

they offer rigid transmission to the floor.

The TELOS 350 is built on four rubber feet to ensure proper the amplifier support. This

avoids all detrimental vibrations inside the amplifier, following the famous GOLDMUND

"Mechanical Grounding" principle.

If you use more than one TELOS 350 at any location, you may decide to stack them. You

may stack up to 3 amps provided extra care is taken to ensure proper air circulation vents

the side heat-sinks.

3 LINE VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENTS

A voltage selection is provided inside the amplifier.

If your line voltage is not adapted to the voltage indicated on the serial plate of the

amplifier, please consult your local GOLDMUND dealer for internal adjustment.

ATTENTION

ATTENTIONATTENTION

ATTENTION

On the 220V configuration, the GOLDMUND TELOS 350 amplifier will function properly for

main line voltage between 190V and 245V. On the 110V configuration, the main line must

deliver between 95 and 125V. If your main line is usually out of these tolerances, please

consult your GOLDMUND dealer.

Please check the value of the main line fuse. This fuse is located on the back panel of the

amplifier, above the power cord receptacles.

Use a 16A delayed fuse.

4 ONNE TIONS

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

Use only a 3 lugs grounded plug, for safety reasons. To get the best sound from the

amplifier, avoid any multiple plug or extension cord.

If used with an analog signal, connect the interconnect between the preamp and each

power amp and position the Analog/Digital input switch to analog.

When used with a digital input signal, connect the digital input cable to the digital input and

switch the input switch to digital. Since a digital Spdif cable carries 2 channels you may link

the digital output to the next amplifier to transfer the second channel.

Connect the speaker cable to one of the red and black terminals in the back of the

amplifier, or, if you use a Goldmund High Definition speaker cable, you can connect directly

from the speaker cable to one of the coaxial plugs on the back panel of the amplifier,

bypassing the amplifier adapter module of the speaker cable.

The 2 separate outputs (both 5 way post and coaxial) are connected internally in parallel.

They are provided to facilitate the connection in bi-wiring systems.

You may notice that the ground of the input plug and the black speaker terminal are the

same polarity. The amplifier is non-inverting in phase.

5 AMPLIFIER ONTROLS

As soon as the amplifier is connected to AC line and the amplifier has not detected an error

previously, the yellow light on the amp front panel is ON.

The TELOS 350 may be powered on either manually (Manual Operation) or automatically

when receiving a signal (Auto-Power Operation). This is selected internally by the small

white 10-position circular selector located on the top circuit of the amplifier, close to the big

capacitors.

There is 1 position for Manual operation and 9 for Auto-Power operation. Positions 1

through 8 enable various delays to be set. This supports powering-up a quantity of

amplifiers without a big surge on the AC line.

Position 0: Manual Operation

Position 1: Power after 200ms

Position 2: Power after 400ms

Position 3: Power after 600ms

Position 4: Power after 800ms

Position 5: Power after 1s

Position 6: Power after 1.2s

Position 7: Power after 1.4s

Position 8: Power after 1.6s

Position 9: Power after 1.8s

MANUAL OPERATIO

MANUAL OPERATIOMANUAL OPERATIO

MANUAL OPERATION

On the front plate of the GOLDMUND TELOS 350 amplifier you will find one POWER

green light, one LOCKED orange light and one ERROR red light.

When first connected to mains power the 3 leds flash ones to indicate AC line detected.

The orange led will flash twice (equal time on and off) to indicate the initialization, at the

end of this sequence, the amplifier enters in STANDBY mode. The orange led flashes

slowly.

Once in STANDBY mode, a short key press (<1 second) switches the amplifier ON, the

green led will flash five times indicating the initialization in POWER UP mode. The green

led is permanently illuminated in this mode.

If the digital input is not used, the orange led is turned off, showing there is no lock and the

amp remains muted until a lock is found. With a digital input, the amp is immediately

operational and the orange led illuminated

The amp may be returned to STANDBY mode with a short key press. A long key press (>2

seconds) takes the amplifier in POWER OFF mode.

If an error is detected the red Led will be illuminated. Once the cause of the error has been

removed, the amplifier can be returned to STANDBY mode with a long key press.

These security features are provided to reduce the risk of accidental POWER ON or

POWER OFF and to protect the amplifier in ERROR mode.

Power up sequence:

•Progressive charge of high power

capacitors to limit peak current on

AC line

•Switch on high power supply on

output stage

•Wait stabilisation of high power

supply

•Unmute input

•Unmute ouput

Power down sequence:

•Mute ouput

•Mute input

•Switch off high power supply on

output stage

•Switch off main power
