GOLDMUND - Swiss Made High-End Audio Equipment

If you have never heard a Proteus demonstration, you have never heard what a speaker may become when it is perfectly aligned in Frequency response, in Phase response and in Time response. Why?... Because nobody did it before Goldmund.

And that's what Proteus does. You may have heard it in a Goldmund Media Room demonstration if you had the chance to visit our demo center in Los Angeles recently, or if you visited the Goldmund Media Room of Stellavox Japan in Tokyo. And you know how stunningly real it sounds.

Proteus will soon be available as a standard program that can be loaded in a Mimesis 16 or a Mimesis 32. This is addressing only a pair of Epilogue 1 Signature, or Epilogue 1 Signature and Epilogue 2. However, we will soon have it available for the full Epilogue Signature as well.

The software will be available as a free download from our website. You will just need to enter your Mimesis 16 or Mimesis 32 serial number and your personal data so the software matches exactly the configuration you have.

The big question everybody is asking us is :"Will you do it for other speakers ?"

This is politically sensitive since it means we can "correct" an incorrectly designed speaker, and we do not want to become obnoxious for our speaker manufacturer colleagues. However, some of them have seen the significance of such a spectacular innovation and are approaching us to suggest we adapt Proteus in order to make their speakers sell even better. Since it is a very complicated process, the corresponding Proteus software may be selling as a separate item for a substantial fee. And it will work only on a Mimesis 32 (and a Mimesis 16 for the simplest). But the result will be as phenomenal as expected and we are sure these manufacturers will make all their future demonstrations with Proteus! After making perfect speakers in all Frequency, Phase and Time domains, the next step will be to work at suppressing speaker coloration. The full-metal Epilogue having literally no box coloration, we will correct the drivers only but may provide a solution for other box-makers to help them on the coloration domain. An interesting experience, since, if we succeed, it will allow to obtain the "perfect speaker" we are all dreaming of. And imagine we do it for the few existing top speakers… Interestingly enough, they should all sound the same by then! Frightening isn't it?
