GOLDMUND - Swiss Made High-End Audio Equipment

You were asking to get a volume remote control on the SR Integrated amp for long enough. Of course, we could have done that by just adding a small circuit (like the one we put in the Mimesis 27) to our SR integrated, but it would have been a very late update for an amplifier still using a 10 years old circuit and not the recent Job circuit.

So we rather decided to replace the SRI Integrated amplifier by a totally new version, using the Job circuit, like all our other amplifiers. The baby will be on the market for Christmas, it’s called the SRI2. It is made of 2 x SR Mono amps (2 x 125W) with the same sound quality, built in a single enclosure, and equipped with the same connection capability than the previous SR Integrated. Price is barely changing. Isn’t life wonderful ?

The A.I.H.C. Group recently announced that a certain number of new development will be built-in the Chiasma in order to be experimented in day-to-day operations.

As you know, the Chiasma will use a built-in Sylans computer, and because it will remain “ON” 24 hours a day, this computer must really be cool and reliable. Which means the Chiasma will use a very innovative technology to keep the machine perfectly cool, perfectly silent, and reliable. If you want to know more about these technologies, read what the Sylans company publish in their site www.sylans.com

Another part of the Chiasma which should be a technical breakdown will be its future built-in DVD player. Goldmund has not announced yet when this will be operational (probably not on the first 1999 machines) but it should be an easy upgrade anyhow. The idea is to use a third or fourth generation DVD-Rom (we heard some people here talk about DVD-Ram) to play DVD and use a revolutionary computer graphic card to do the Mpeg2 decoding and the scaling. With some image improvement made by software inside the computer (bye bye doublers, progressive, etc…) Goldmund research team thinks the image resulting should be the best ever seen from a DVD player.

The third technical domain where the Chiasma will be unique is the ease of use for a very complex Home-Theater system. By its capability to “remember” automatically the adjustments used for each film, and also the future improvements made at each projection, the Chiasma will automatically adjust more than 30 parameters of the projection quality automatically each time you playback the same DVD. This simple feature alone will make the Chiasma a dream to use. A frequently asked question is the capability of remote-controlling the sound level during a film playback and the way to incorporate the visual feedback on the screen, as it is possible for brightness, contrast, etc with top video equipment. The answer is quite simple. The today’s top projectors have the capability to display these adjustment on screen, including the sound level, when they are controlled by RS232 as they will be by the Chiasma.

Sorry for the recent intervention we had on a bad November week-end and that ruined the connection for two days. Won’t do it again, promised…

Sorry for the first days of availability of our new site that displayed an horrible delay in loading the menu page. Won’t do it again, promised…

Sorry for the old Netscape 3 users who will keep the old style site since they can’t read dynamic HTML. Too bad, because it may have been the best browser ever. We can’t do better, promised… Sorry for the Explorer 3 users who are getting wrong routing and get lost in our menus sometimes because the browser has a bug. Microsoft’s syndrome ? Works wonderfully in IE4, fails miserably in IE5.0 beta10. They will do it again, promised…

When you finally use Netscape 4 or IE4, you have it working perfectly, we promised. Hope you like the new server look. Will do it again, promised…
